Naomi “Nomes” Counsel 
“The Deviant Diva from Down-Under”

Australian born Naomi, aka Nomes started what was to be an epic rave career right back in the mid 90’s, in the heart of Melbourne, shortly after rave scene first took Australia by storm. Experiencing the birth of the dance music scene as it is known over there, and mainly the “doof” culture - massive psy-trance outdoor parties and not so legal gatherings, something not known at the time that would later become a huge part of her life. 

Her love for the music and stomping ‘til sunrise eventually led to Nomes wanting to grace the decks herself, and in the year 2000 she did just that, landing her first gigs with Melbourne Morning Trance. It wasn’t long after this she discovered the UK Hard House sound, becoming hooked on the filthy bass, stabs and hoovers sounding the scene across the other side of the globe. A sound she became recognised for rocking and resulted in her landing many gigs in both Melbourne’s hugest clubs and biggest events.

Nomes played out at many events across Melbourne, Hard Kandy, 3D, Krankin, Duel, G.O.D, Kryal Castle, Smile Police/NRG, H2BH, MDA and Energise to name all but a few. These banging parties led Nomes and her growing crew to put on their own event. In 2003 “SykoticNomes” was born, an underground warehouse party that would see 'Party Goers' rocking it in a secret industrial warehouse location, raving the night away to all variants of Hard House, NRG, Hard Dance, as well as many other genres that also incorporate that UK flavour, a sound Nomes is always drawn to.

4 years of unforgettable parties later and Nomes decided to take some time out from the scene (as most DJ’s do), to start a family and make new memories. The retirement didn’t stop her from mixing in her personal time though, and with UK Hard House being non-existent in Melbourne at the time, she turned her attentions to Full On Psy, replacing those filthy off beats with massive rolling baselines.

9 years on and Nomes has come back with a vengeance. These past few years after returning from her break have seen her reigniting the Melbourne hard dance scene with new UK Hard House flavours. The warehouse parties are also back in full flow with her massive night “Till Shut Down (TSD/AWE)”, a night that is continuing to grow in popularity and has seen some of her favourite DJ’s take stage on the 1’s and 2’s, including big hitters from the UK such as Kevin Energy, Chaney, Random But Raw, Nikkdbubble and Filthykitten and aussie NRG favourites Narc, Dramatik, Asylum, SinNRG and many more.

On a final note we can look forward to so much more in the future from our “deviant diva”, the coming months are going to see her finally take stage over in the UK, with events yet to be confirmed, but sure to be HUGE!!! Not only this but we will also be able to look forward to some of her own music productions hitting the hard house charts too, showing her hard house roots with lashings of psy elements.

A huge “THANK YOU” from Nomes to all of you that have supported and made her musical journey what it has been. Without you guys none of this would have been possible!
