Biography
Supafly Inc is a
UK dance act comprised of Panos Liassi (Mister P) and Andrew Tumi (One), two of the most established and hardest working faces on the UK music scene. The act is led by DJ and producer, Mister P, and features some of the best music talent from across the globe.Best known for their 2005 summer anthem "Let's Get Down" - which was a club hit around the world and used by Australian Network
FOX8 as their summer theme song, and "Moving Too Fast" in late 2006, which samples a riff from the Phil Collins' hit "Another Day in Paradise ."Supafly Inc's sound is an infectious and distinctive blend of Reggae/Hip Hop/Rock and Dance.

The pair share a common passion for entertaining live, and their crowds have developed a symbiotic passion to be entertained. The shows literally evolve before your eyes, with Supafly Inc confident enough to improvise when the vibe demands it. Now London-based, the essence of Supafly’s sun-filled, energetic sound developed partly from Mister P and One’s stint in Australia, where they had escaped to reconnect with their creative energy. Inspired by the sunshine and the live music scene in Melbourne, their time away proved to be an inspiration for Supafly’s signature tune, “Let’s Get Down”. It was written on one of the hottest days in Australia’s history. [www.myspace.com/supaflyonline]Supafly Inc picked up the Best Newcomer Award at the 2006
