As summer comes to its inevitable close, Smirnoff Experience’s Area 21 stage popped up again recently, this time at the Future Music Festival in Brisbane and Sydney. Throughout summer Area 21 featured at Summadayze, Summafieldayze and Kiss My Grass, fast gaining a reputation for headline DJs playing unexpected sets away from the mainstage… and away from their known style.

With 40 international releases and remixes to date, on some of the most prestigious house music labels in the world, DJ Freestyle has firmly established his name on the international house music map with releases on such labels as Guesthouse Music, BriqueRouge, Icon, OM, PhutureSole and Grab Recordings, among others. DJ Freestyle has headlined in clubs and bars and featured on radio shows throughout the world, in destinations such as Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belgium, The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and throughout the United States of America. He has been spinning records for 17 years, which resulted largely from an early childhood obsession with music. Freestyle’s diverse career and passion for multiple genre’s of music, has seen him work as an instructor for Technics and other schools (United DJ’s Mixing School), teaching the art of Scratching (old and new school styles), Harmonic Key Mixing and Production/Engineering. Mark Farina names DJ Freestyle in US dance music magazine “BPM” (in 2005), as one of his favourite three producers. Several of DJ Freestyle’s records have received highly favourable reviews in the most prominent dance music magazines IDJ, MUZIK and DJ Magazine.
