Contrary to the name, there’s nothing secret about X CLUB. anymore.

The London-based duo of Ben Clarke and Jesse Morath have spent the past several years sharpening their craft, turning dancefloors inside out and steadily pushing their sound into broader, undefined territory. What began as a raw, high energy take on ’90s techno has evolved into something far more expansive, folding in breakbeat, jungle, trance and whatever else happens to be rattling around in their heads. It’s functional, high impact club music, but built with patience and longevity in mind.

That evolution has played out just as loudly on the road. X CLUB.’s rise has been defined by relentless touring and word of mouth sets that feel closer to homecomings than appearances. Across 2024 and 2025 they sold out headline shows on multiple continents ranging from 8,000 capacity warehouses to 800 cap clubs, closed festival mainstages, and delivered a run of standout performances that firmly cemented their reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting electronic exports.

Highlights included an Australian homecoming tour starting at Mode Festival Sydney and concluding at The Wool Store in Melbourne, taking over institutional venues, major festival slots, and community grassroots clubs. Internationally, their growth continues with appearances at Glastonbury, Portola, DGTL, Awakenings, Boomtown, DoLab Coachella, Berghain, Glitch Malta, EDC Las Vegas and Thailand, and much more. All the while making capital city statements at The Ruins in Brooklyn, Lights Down Low LA, Village Underground London, Index Dublin and Rex Club Paris. 2026 will see X CLUB. further cement their transition from rising act to global fixture.

X CLUB. have carved out a studio catalogue that mirrors the intensity and unpredictability of their sets, balancing club ready impact with left of centre ideas. Alongside high profile remixes, they balanced cultural moments with records like “Frankie Knuckles” and “HU4D”, tracks that became a rare crossover between an ode to house and techno’s founding fathers and modern underground club culture.

Their 2025 EP Stay With Me marked a full circle return to Steel City Dance Discs, the label that helped shape their early identity, and showcased a more confident, emotionally charged side of the project. Follow up releases and collaborations with Europe’s Live From Earth collective only further underlined their refusal to settle into a single lane.

The duo also continue to build their label, parties and merch brand Hide The Junk, with community led pop ups, merch drops and releases in the pipeline for 2026. Fans can also tap into monthly mixes on Rinse FM as X CLUB. present Hide The Junk Radio, with special guests in tow.

Ben and Jesse have never been interested in standing still. In 2026, that restlessness remains the point. Louder rooms, sharper records, and no interest in smoothing the edges.

Melbourne-based DJ and producer Dean Turnley works within the lineage of Detroit and Chicago house, shaping a sound that is stripped-back, functional and built with the dancefloor in mind. His productions favour tension and groove over excess - club tools that prioritise movement and restraint.

A mainstay of Australia’s underground for close to a decade, Turnley has developed his reputation through a steady presence across clubs, festivals and international circuits, alongside co-founding Thailand’s Sundancer festival. His approach remains DJ-led - selections and productions shaped by time spent in the booth.

That foundation has translated into a breakout in 2026 with “Actin’ Tough” - a track that moved from Melbourne underground ID to global club record, hitting #1 on the Beatport Chart and gaining widespread support across DJs and dancefloors internationally.

Turnley’s rise has been incremental rather than immediate - grounded in consistency, credibility and a clear focus on function. As his records continue to travel, he is emerging as one of the more reliable exports from Australia’s underground circuit.

DJ Zinc, the London-based dance music DJ and record producer known for pioneering new styles, has consistently redefined his sound. He jumps effortlessly between musical genres, and is one of few artists who can claim to have had genuine underground and commercial hits across house, breakbeat, UK garage and drum & bass, having sold over 1,000,000 physical records across his own productions and labels.

Zinc has made a career out of honing and developing his sound, with house music very much his current obsession. And like everything else Zinc does, these new productions stand out from the crowd, with releases on Rinse, Armada and an upcoming VA EP via his own label Bingo – including collaborations with Chris Lorenzo, MY Nu Leng, Shift Key and JackBeats – attesting to the quality of his latest productions.

DJ Zinc’s Rinse FM show continues to be one of the most listened to on the infamous UK station, and he regularly contributes to BBC Radio 1 with many features on Annie Mac’s show. He has also produced not one but two Essential Mixes for Pete Tong to date. On the live front, DJ Zinc has played sold-out shows at some of the biggest events in the UK, including Bestival, Warehouse Project and SW4.

Over the course of his career, Zinc has been involved in and had a significant impact on a wide range of genres - from roots in hardcore and rave, Zinc went on to produce some of dance music’s most definitive anthems, including the era defining ‘Super Sharp Shooter’, the colossal bootleg of The Fugees ‘Ready Or Not’, and ‘138 Trek’ which went on to break the UK top 30. More recent chart success came in the shape of ‘Wile Out’, a collaboration with Ms. Dynamite.

Testament to his remarkable achievements in British dance music, Zinc was included in the 'British Music Experience' alongside the Beatles and Sex Pistols; a permanent exhibition in London's 02 Arena that chronologically documents the major contributors to contemporary British music.

With more than two decades at the forefront of electronic music, there can be no question that DJ Zinc is one of dance music’s most respected pioneers. Zinc has forged his own fiercely individual path for the outset, winning both the respect of industry peers and legions of fans along the way.
