Headlining a burgeoning wave of Naarm/Melbourne talent, nickname subscribes to a system-shredding style that is entirely his own. 

Drawing from various influences, his maverick creations “bridge the gap” between destructive jungle, broken bass, and modern techno, evading any attempt to typecast. A master of manipulation, nickname’s resampled sonics dance beside penetrating percussive patterns, showcasing a palpable command of breaks. With his easy-going persona shining through his music, he delivers free-flowing and fractured pulses with a lighthearted grin.

Having found homes on Phasmid’s ‘Taipan Trax’, DJ Loui's Jupiter4, STÜM’s ‘Happy Wax’ and Mincy’s ‘Extra Spicy’, nickname’s riotous releases have rampaged floors at the hands of VTSS, Kessler, and DJ Spit, among countless others. Poised to peel the paint from club walls, his sounds have prompted airtime at Dekmantel and HÖR, with Rinse FM taking note, featuring the playful pro in their exclusive Spotify playlist. Leaving punters mesmerized, his bouncing blonde strands have topped bills across Naarm/Melbourne and Eora/Sydney, with highlights the energetic Extra Spicy x Stony Roads Day Party and vivacious T-Break at 24 Moons. 

Forever gazing forward, nickname’s music lines his rhythmic trajectory. Made for centre stage.
