What kind of DJ warms up for SuperMayer, John Aquaviva and Alex Smoke on the same weekend? Or before Lindstrom at a festival, before Marc Houle at a club gig, and then a closing set after Stephan Bodzin on the same night? This is the pivotal role played by Mike Callander in his beloved hometown of Melbourne. Mike has held long-standing residencies at some of Melbourne’s most important clubbing institutions such as Sunny, Fokus, Nano, and currently at Poison Apple and Pretty Simple, but perhaps his most treasured residency was at Honkytonks, for which he also recorded a mix CD “The Last Dance” that made its way into record stores across Australia and as far away as Japan.
