Review of Q-BiK , July 10 @ NERO (UK)
http://perthquake.com.au/blog/2010/07/sincerely-yours/
...." Q-BiK took control [AFTER NERO] and showed why he’s one of the highest rated drum and bass DJs in Australia. The New Zealand born Perth based DJ and producer who’s been turning heads worldwide never fails to impress. Mixing with precision, Q-BiK layed down some pumping drum and bass and managed to keep a very significant number of punters on the dancefloor til the wee hours."
