DJ Paul Coals (London, UK)
This terrifically talented individual has been carving a career behind the decks for many years, playing his part in the very diverse scene in London since 1997, but also performing at a whole host of parties, both across the UK and internationally. Paul’s musical style, which can be described as funky, chunky, progressive, tech house, remains a resounding hit with dance floors everywhere.
Paul’s roots are firmly based in London and it is in the capital where he devotes most of his time behind the decks, holding down residencies at Barcode's Vauxhall and Soho venues. He has also played at iconic venues, such as Café de Paris, Fire, Area, Pacha, Crash, Union, Astoria, Fabric and, the mother of them all, Ministry Of Sound. He has been resident at various parties, including “Salvation London” “MegaWoof”, “Scandal”, “Tonker”, “Bear Necessity London”, and Hustlaball.
It is the international gigs that Paul tends to get most excited about and for good reason, as he has been involved in some pretty major events. This Summer in Ibiza, Paul played for Space (Salvation/Café Olé), Sands Beach Club and Hotel Es Vive. Alongside his international Salvation residency, his European appearances have included events across Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Iceland, Moscow, France and Spain. In addition, Paul has DJed at events in the USA, Dubai and Canada, a true highlight being when he played at the famous Fly and The Guvernment in Toronto.
Harbour City Bears welcomes Paul to Australia for the first time to headline at our Summer Chunky party
on January 29th at Q Bar.

Matt Effect
From bear beginnings Matt Effect has seen his DJ career go from strength to strength. He started spinning at just 19 (before he could grow a full beard!) and has not looked back since.
Establishing regular gigs at Sydney venues like Mr Mary’s, The Taxi Club and The Flinders Hotel helped Matt become a well known DJ within the bear and gay community first in Sydney, then around Australia and onto the West Coast of the US.
He’s played at many Harbour City Bears parties, including last year’s Underbear during Bear Essentials and is one of the resident DJs at Chunky since it started in January 2009.
Matt’s also a regular at Sydney’s biggest dayclub RISING.
Other gigs include WoofClub’s 2008 NYE party DogPound. He’s also played BrisBears’ Dancing Bears in Brisbane and VicBears’ Southern HiBearnation in Melbourne.
In the US Matt recently played at one of the world’s biggest bear runs LAZY BEAR in Guerneville, California as well as at Bearracuda. Matt describes his style of music as “dirty handbag”.
He loves the bump and grind and a sexy track with strong female vocals. He admits he does enjoy big vocals from the guys too, but loves to watch people get down and dirty to a well-known diva.

Frankie ShinWhatever Frankie Shin does, he does it with PASSION. From the early beginnings as a DJ in Seoul to his latest VDJ and DJ gigs in Sydney he brings a flamboyant style that captivates the masses. His creative mind communicates through music and visuals to give energy to his audiences. Whether spinning the music, chatting with the clubbers, or dancing on the dance floor he enlivens the space and the patrons experience.
This passion first developed while at high school in South Korea. His creative colorful style quickly engaged the masses when he brought dance music to Seoul, as resident DJ at Hollywood Club. A loyal following emerged from those suffering insomnia who knew that Frankie Shin would be spinning out house, techno and trance in Itaewon till the break of dawn. Seoul then began to have an influx of international DJs and Frankie Shin found himself playing with some of the best. He became influenced by DJs such as Richie Hawtin, John Acquaviva and Dave Seaman. In the early 1990s he travelled to England, Holland and Germany taking mental notes of all that was to be seen and heard. Back in Seoul he introduced this new genre and further honed his skills.
Frankie’s love of music is over many genres, so to describe him just as a house or electro DJ would be foolish. His love of music and his loyal followers will never be constricted to one genre. This versatile unselfish style has influenced DJs throughout Seoul and has mushroomed a common vibe amongst the party elite and everyone that listens to dance music.
As resident DJ and artistic director at Circle, Seoul, Frankie has influenced the club scene booking and promoting many international artists. With a thirst for knowledge, it is not surprising that Frankie is continually exploring new ways to entertain. This constant experimentation and adaptation of new technologies means he is always creating his own ideas. As a multimedia artist he creates a sound and visual experience that stimulates.
Frankie's love of a stylish product, his passion for wearing the clothing and demonstrating its style lead to the brand WESC becoming popular in Korea. Now Frankie has become an international WE Activist.

Colin Gaff (Sydney, Australia)
Colin has had a busy year! The launch of his monthly podcast at the start of 2010, his regular sets at Furry Fridays and his passion for all the music which he plays has contributed to him having the opportunity to play at some great parties in Sydney. His sets at Rugger Bugger, Harbour City Bear Crystal Ball and Grub (Woofclub) let Colin show party goers what he is made of - solid quality tunes that grab you and make you move.
Colin has a regular following and has increased his profile in the Sydney scene. He is known for only playing music that he would dance to and endeavours to stay away from playing the more 'obvious' tunes.
Historically he has been actively playing house music since Acid House started in 1988. His passion for dance music has always been unstoppable and you will find his series of pod casts take his listeners on an aural adventure giving them something to think about at home, the gym and on the dancefloor…….expect quality house, progressive and the unexpected
