Royal (#35)

I’m a long time purveyor, disk jockey and writer supporting the electronic music scene.

Initially I focussed on the sounds known to many as Detroit techno at the beginning of the 90s, however scenes diverged, and new sounds emerged. Including the old favourites, I’m a fan of minimalism (think Villalobos and Hood), electro (think Cybotron and Aux 88), deep house (think Herbert and Moodymann ) – but it doesn’t stop there. Sounds of Prefuse 73, Thievery Corporation, King Tubby, Pole and Public Enemy can be heard emanating from my speakers, whether it’s at home or one of a handful of DJ gigs I play in Sydney every year.

I’ve played at festivals such as The Big Day Out and Vibes on a Summers Day, and many a club across this continent, yet feel more at home playing in a dingy basement or small club to a couple of hundred people where music is the key.
