All About Me
Citizen.com
The DJ not the web site
-----------------------------------------------------
" I have always had a passion for music. It has an impact on people that can't be
described by words. From the dawn of civilisation rhythm and the beat has allowed people to escape their own realities and unite with others. It is now, more than ever, that we all need to unite again and let the beat take control”.
-Citizen.com
Citizen.com began his DJ career in Melbourne in early 2000 playing Break-beat at 3D Nightclub it was not long before he was supporting the like’s of Koma and Bones at Melbourne’s Premier Breaks Night, Fractured at Brown Alley as a resident. No small feat for a relative newcomer to the scene.
Citizens’ early success and obvious talent saw him win first prize in one of Melbourne’s most respected DJ competitions and place second in an Earthcore competition. Citizens’ evolution continued with his involvement in the production of the Fractured, Rock like this, Darkbeat and Soft Spot events becoming more prominent.
In 2006 Citizen answered the calling, abandoned his ambitions as a Biological Scientist to concentrate fulltime on DJing, event production, management and music production. This proved a wise move with 2008 seeing the launch of Citizens hugely successful break-beat weekly BASS CAMP at the Lounge. BASS CAMP has attracted international Breakbeat legends including Baobinga & ID, Groove Diggerz, Friendly and JHz. As well as having the local and interstate guests routinely destroy the dance floor. They asked for it and they are going to get it! 2009 will see the first BASS CAMP mix CD released, original tunes from the BASS CAMP family (International/Interstate and local producer’s) check www.lounge.com.au for more info.
You can find Citizen pushing the sounds of Break-beat on a Weekly basis. As well as pulling a rabbit out his hat Citizen also plays 70s-80s, Classic hip-hop, funk, disco, D n B, Electro, House, Techno, Tech and Fidget.
In 2009 you will find Citizen.com as Marketing and Promotions Manager at the LOUNGE NIGHTCLUB. He is also part owner of Rock Like this Productions, and creator of Soft Spot Productions. He also manages to juggle several side projects including Daredevils and Roxy Moron. As well as working with Scratch Foundation, on his current Project "The Brother Hood of Beats". A promising new Melbourne Label already connecting with artists globally.
Amongst all the madness Citizen manages to hold the fort with residencies at Revolver Saturdays @ Late Show, Brown Alley Fridays @ In Rotation, Workshop Saurdays @Dropping Phat, Loop Bar (Let the good times Roll), Laundry and Alia (Fitzroy’s Finest).
Not to mention supporting some of the BIGEST and BEST DJs and producers the world has to offer. Citizen.com has supported the likes of:- Stanton Warrionrs, Ctrl-Z, Deekline and Wizzard, Elite Force, Dub Pistols, NAPT, Drumattic Twins, Hyper, Freestlyers, General Midi, James Lavelle, Skool of Thought, Groove Diggers, Antiform, Autobots, Baobinga and ID, Adsorb, Diverted, JHz the list goes on and still continues!
