Australia’s most in-demand locals - Goodwill and Tommy Trash are going on the road to bring the swag of super-exclusive first usage tracks and remixes from the compilation to the Gilligans dancefloor!
Goodwill: His passion and spunky flair for both his music and life in general has made him a very valuable member of Ministry of Sound's family as he's not only one of Sydney’s finest DJs but one of Australia’s.
Goodwill has old-school experience, but with new-school musical flavours and is, not to mention, also one of the highest selling Australian artist and producer in dance - a rare creature who is naturally always in demand. And we would say that even if we weren't completely biased.
Tommy Trash: Producer/DJ Thomas Olsen a.k.a Tommy Trash is fast making his way to being one of the biggest names in Australian dance music.
Tommy burst onto the scene in 2006 with his debut single ‘Slide’ featuring on the 2007 Ministry of Sound Annual and Electro House Sessions (an album which he mixed along with The Stafford Brothers). Tommy followed this up a year later with his main room monster ‘Amsterdam 01’ which features on the Ministry of Sound 2008 Annual, and the b-side to this ‘Amsterdam 02’ featuring on Ministry of Sound Electro House Sessions 2.
Tommy has developed a reputation as a formidable producer, with his original productions and collaborations regularly featuring in the ARIA charts and constantly shaking up the top 5 spots.
Tommy has remixed the likes of Tom Novy, Green Velvet, Grafton Primary, Armand Van Helden and has even been commissioned to remix The Veronicas. Tommy has also had success through his collaborations with fellow Sydney Dj/Producer Goodwill (‘It’s A Swede Thing’ featured on Ministry of Sound’s Electro House Sessions and Sessions Four) and Tom Piper (‘Fk To The Bass which features on Ministry of Sound Sessions Four).

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book has been popular amongst many generations of children, discussing themes that are as relevant today as they were when they were written. The Jungle Book tells the story of a young human baby, Mowgli, found in the wilderness by a family of wolves and raised as one of their own. He learns over time the rules or 'Laws' of the jungle, instructed by his animal mentors including the wise black panther, Bagheera, and Baloo the sleepy bear. Both of these friendly beasts contribute to the child's education. HIT Productions will bring to life The Jungle Book, with Mowgli now in his early twenties, returning to the jungle to see Baloo and Bagheera. Narrated by Baloo, the songs reflect Mowgli's time growing up in the jungle.

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book has been popular amongst many generations of children, discussing themes that are as relevant today as they were when they were written. The Jungle Book tells the story of a young human baby, Mowgli, found in the wilderness by a family of wolves and raised as one of their own. He learns over time the rules or 'Laws' of the jungle, instructed by his animal mentors including the wise black panther, Bagheera, and Baloo the sleepy bear. Both of these friendly beasts contribute to the child's education.

Wendy Matthews has a reputation as an artist par excellence with a sublime, expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it.
Both acoustically and physically, Wendy Matthews moves with an enviable minimalism. Her music is an unhurried journey of clean melodies, infectious energy and simple grace. In an age when grunge is thought to be hip and cynicism an attribute, Wendy has proven that commitment to beauty is still not only valid but applauded by the public ear. This is exemplified by the reality that Wendy's music is now in more than 1 million homes in Australia - all her albums to date have multi-platinum status. Wendy has an immense talent and capacity to capture and define a diverse range of styles in her music. She takes songs from every genre and makes them her own, from jazz to blues, from rock to gospel, from soul to outright infectious pop and then, of course, there are the beautiful ballads.
Wendy is adept at reaching both frenetic youth and mature audiences alike. If older ears are captured by her soul and unfazed class, a more cynical youth is convinced by her disarming ease of delivery, wooed by a voice of stunning emotive capacity yet void of sentimentality. This outstanding capability has ensured the strength of her following - not only with the public but also the music industry. To date Wendy has won seven ARIAS - the all time record. Simply put, Wendy Matthews has a reputation for having one of the finest voices ever. As Midnight Oil frontman, Peter Garrett, says when he eloquently describes her abilities: "Wendy's voice is to the vocal chords what the Daintree is to the wilderness". Such observations point to Wendy's uncanny ability to choose great songs and interpret them with an individual polish hitherto unknown in this country.
Wendy has performed at some of the most prestigious musical events. From the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, live TV specials in Asia, MIDEM in Cannes, to performing in front of over 40,000 people on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Her tours play to full houses in both regional and capital city theatres. Born in Montreal Canada, Wendy joined her first band and left home as a teenager, busking her way across the USA to Los Angeles where she met Glenn Shorrock who invited her to tour with him in Australia in 1982. Wendy immediately became an in-demand session singer, appearing on many commercial jingles and backing vocals for the likes of The Models "Out of Mind Out of Sight" and became a semi-permanent member of the band. She also sang on albums by Jimmy Barnes, Tim Finn, Richard Clapton and Icehouse.
In 1987, Wendy collaborated with Kate Ceberano on the ABC-TV soundtrack for the series ‘Stringer'. ‘You've Always Got the Blues' was released the next year reaching the Top 5 national charts. She then contributed to the Rockmelons and Peter Blakeley's respective albums. She helped form Absent Friends and sang on the number one hit "I Don't Wanna Be With Nobody But You" and the album "Here's Looking Up Your Address". After touring with Absent Friends, Wendy went into the studio to record her solo debut. The album "Émigré" (Double Platinum) spawned the hits "Token Angels", "Lets Kiss" and "Woman's Gotta Have It" and earned Wendy the Best Female Artist and Best Debut Single (for ‘Token Angels') at the 1990 ARIA Awards. Wendy was also voted Best Female Singer in the 1990 Rolling Stone Reader's Poll. This was followed up by the Triple Platinum album "Lily" with the mega hit " "The Day You Went Away" plus "If Only I Could" and Friday's Child", In 1992 Wendy picked up the ARIA for Best Female Artist and Best Single and again in 1993 Best Female Artist. "The Day You Went Away" was the ‘highest selling single' of 1993 and the ‘single of the year'.
Wendy then followed up with another two studio albums "The Witness Tree" and "Ghosts" including the hits "Love Will Keep Me Alive", "Standing Strong", "Then I Walked away". In 1999 to cap off an already outstanding career, Wendy released her first "Best Of....Stepping Stones" which not only included her former hits but also "Nobody But You" the massive hit from Absent Friends. Not resting on her laurels, in 2001 Wendy released "Beautiful View" featuring the hauntingly beautiful title track and club favorite "Like the Sun".
2004 saw the release of the mixed-up, chilled-out "Café Naturale" an eclectic suite of songs which immediately evoke a sense of familiarity. The Tropfest winning film "Lamb" by Emma Freeman features as the highly acclaimed video clip to the popular "All I Need". There are very few artists in Australia that can cite Wendy's credentials, seven arias, a massive 19 singles, 7 top selling albums and most of all the love of her fans. Wendy has recently completed her first independent record on her own "Barking Bear" record label. "She" is a personal collection of favorite songs by women who have inspired her over the years. As she puts it "songs that have made the singer, women who have made the woman". Recorded live in a studio room together over three days with her long standing band and a few specialty players, Matthews considers it a journey through her formative years, with songs by Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin, EmmyLou Harris and Chrissie Hynde and fellow native Canadians Joni Mitchell, Buffy St Marie and Jane Siberry to name a few. "Fallen Angels" is the first song to radio with the album "She" due for release in January 2009.
When she's not writing, recording or touring extensively, Wendy and her beloved dog Bear, enjoy the beauty of the Northern NSW coast where she is building a hand crafted home.
