Known as two of Perth’s favorite independent artists, JS and Bezwun have joined forces to create FTW. Coming from two separate places on the music spectrum, they have channeled their own influences to create a vibrant duo based on high energy performances and party banging production.
JS was shot into the scene as one half of the successful Pearly Whites, playing all over Perth and part of the festival circuit, he helped innovate the party mashing and mixing as we know it today. Supporting all genres from Dubstep to Baltimore, Electro to Breaks and everything in between. He later ventured out solo and began to create a name for himself, earning residencies at Perth’s top clubs and banging out tunes on a weekly basis. A recent dedication to production has seen this kid develop the skills that will soon make him a weapon on the music market.
Always involving himself in music, Bezwun began to gain interest in djing and production. Releasing his first tracks on Miles Dyson’s label in 2010 as his duo Beatsmack, he has not looked back since. Not limiting himself to just heavy, he pushed his solo brand creating a fusion of ghettofunk and electro and has contributed a handful of bootlegs and originals to the community. Residing at Ambar night club as part of the Boomtick DJ roster, he is always bringing a turntablist vibe to his performances, from scratching to cutting, he is always getting the party started.
The combination of these two has formed a brand that embraces booty breaks and jacking party vibes. Influences including Stanton Warriors, Deekline and Keith Mackenzie, these boys a creating a sound that’s unrivaled in Perth. Tight drums, big 808 bass hits and catchy vocals are the recipe that these guys are cooking with, and the result, a large three course dose of booty shaking tracks that hit the crowd for six.
With a growing collection of bootlegs and originals, these boys are ones to watch out for. As each track is created, the FTW sound is slowly being cemented into a unique, irresistible strength that becomes nearly impossible not to move to. With high energy performances, these guys have earned support slots for internationals, pre-heating the decks to fuel huge nights and create memories that are shared with Perth’s dance community.
