If anyone can take Mozart to the dance floor, it's local beats collective the Avalanches, writes George Palathingal.

Just over 18 months ago a group of Melbourne hedonists calling themselves the Avalanches released their debut album, the blizzard of deranged samples and irresistible beats that was Since I Left You. In the time since, with impressive sales, acclaim and awards (including four ARIAs) under their collective belt here, in Britain and in the US, the Avalanches have become the first Australian act to have a global impact on the music industry this decade.

They're now not only coming home, they're bringing a brand new DJ show around the country, too.

"We want people to see something of what happened when we went on tour in Europe last year because that was a whole new show, y'know, and it's sad because nobody here got to see it," explains co-founder and core band member Darren Seltmann.
