STREAMING AUDIO INTERVIEW

The past week has been something of a blur for Brisbane-based young gun Tydi, with the 21-year-old now sitting pretty as Australia’s newly crowned #1 DJ. Taking out the top spot in the 2008 Sony inthemix50, to Tydi’s many fans it came as little surprise as the past 12 months have seen him achieving more than many even twice his age could ever dream of.

Productions signed to Armin van Buuren’s internationally renowned Armada label; check. A weekly residency at revered Brisbane superclub Family; check. Spots on the bill at all of Queensland’s biggest dance events and festivals; check, check, check. And now with the honour of being voted Australia’s favourite DJ (and lets not forget, #2 producer!), he’s gearing up for the release of his debut album, the Global Gathering tour and his biggest summer yet.

ITM would like to congratulate Tydi on his #1 place in the 2008 Sony inthemix50. If you haven’t had a chance to see the full list of winners head to www.inthemix.com.au/50, and to see what went on at the Awards Night check the inthemix.tv episode and photo galleries now online!
