Janet Jackson - I Get Lonely (Conan Liquid Crates Motel Remix)

Conan Liquid doesn’t buy into sub genres; only good music. With a faultless technical ability honed from years of studying his craft – this man wrote a thesis on the technology of mix downs- and his athenaeum sized catalogue of tunes a Conan Liquid set is a grooving journey and rhythmic education (of tracks you didn’t even know you loved) from start to finish. 
Conan does have big bragging rights, but you won’t hear him name-dropping. His passion is firmly placed in making music and spinning tracks. 
His turntable journey started out by playing hip hop and disco records in 1983 but in 1987 he heard the classic 80’s House gem by Ten City, “That’s the way love is”. 
Conan was signed to Strictly Rhythm at 26 after a coming of age trip to NYC with the formidable Gladys Pizarro; returning to the UK armed with a bucket full of jaw dropping stories and crate picked hardware from the East Village. Conan released ‘Sunny’s Theme”, a Bucketheads disco styled opus and this track led him onto peer-championed classics ‘One time for your mind’ and “Bring it back”. 
With over 400 releases to his name and a main room staple on the international Clubbing circuit, taking in almost every continent and major clubbing brand, including an appearance on Top of The Pops for his top 40 track ‘Monster’ (yes seriously), Conan has captivated dance floors with both his solo and Liquid People projects. 
Championed by the best in the business (we said we wouldn’t name drop but seriously take a look at this list): Masters at work, Todd Terry, Pete Tong, DJ Spen, Dave Lee, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Roger S, his extremely impressive discography features on many major labels including MN2s, Tropical Disco, Defected Records, Strictly Rhythm, Sony, Z records, Africanism, Launch, Big Love and Catch 22 and productions for artists including Ashanti, Lighthouse Family, Talking Heads, Todd Terry, Radiohead, Blondie, Imogen Heap and All Saints. 
Conan now resides in Dubai where he runs the boutique label Crates Motel Records.
Due to his incredible technical ability, production and beat programming skills you can expect a faultless set of good quality music, with live re-edits, and live remixing on the fly. Few DJs can say they have remained at the top of a scene for over 30 years, yet this man can.
Genres: Deep House, Funk, Jazz, Disco, Lounge.

🎵 Strictly good music. Strictly good vibes.
Curator of underground sounds—deep, progressive, afro, tech, and everything in between.
Geelong / Melbourne-based selector pushing sonic boundaries one set at a time.
Host of Strictly Sessions | Founder of Strictly…

🌀 Music has always been in my blood. I grew up surrounded by records and rhythm — Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Frank Zappa, Gladys Knight, Hendrix, The Four Tops, Simon & Garfunkel, and more. My mum played drums in a family band. My uncle? A jazz pianist lighting up Sydney clubs in the ’70s. At 8, I was singing classical choral works as a chorister in Christchurch Cathedral Choir — and by 16, I was sneaking into nightclubs, mesmerised by the music and the DJ.

💿 That led to crate-digging obsessions and DJ residencies across New Zealand in the ’90s — from Limbos, Ministry and The Edge in Christchurch to Metropolis & Cactus Club in Nelson. Import mags like Mixmag, DJ, The Face, and ID were my bible. I chased vinyl like others chase dreams. Eventually, I landed sets for legendary brands like Miss Moneypenny’s (UK) and made the leap to Melbourne in ’98.

🌃 Melbourne was magic — sets at Freakazoid, 161, Chasers, Jane’s Bar, and Monkey through the late ’90s and 2000s.
Today, I play everything from balearic chill to deep house to nostalgic 80s & 90s classics — always with a selector’s touch and a crowd in mind. Whether it’s a beachside sunset or a dark underground room, I bring the right records, the right energy, and the right vibe.
