Refusing to be pushed off the decks by the boys, Miss Match has risen fast through the ranks of a male-dominated industry to become one of Australia’s hottest and solidly entertaining female DJs. 

Playing within the popular genre HOUSE, her sets range from sexy Deep & Jackin’, Funky Vocal, Hard Electro right through to Tech House - where she is now most passionate & comfortable. This adaptability and enthusiasm behind the decks makes her incredibly accessible in any club.

Falling in love with house music years before she even picked up the headphones, it didn’t take long for the country girl to make the transition from fan to feature player, with residencies over the years at Sydney hot-spots Bungalow 8, Moulin Rouge, Le Panic, Arthouse, YU, Cherry Bar, The Bank Hotel and the Du5k & Penguin cruises - even appearing exclusively as the DJ for television’s “The Footy Show” throughout 2009. 

After just three years of being on the circuit, an overseas trip in 2007 led to her jumping on the decks in Tropicana, Paradise Club and Paradise Lounge Bar, which lead to a summer residency the following year in Mykonos. The icing on her international career was an invitation to play at London’s Ministry Of Sound in 2008, which was followed by gigs in Malaysia, Singapore, Bali and the USA, and a headlining gig for the “Feel Negumbo” Festival in Sri Lanka in 2010. 

Relocating from Sydney to Melbourne in January 2012, Miss Match has taken last year off to reflect on the career she had built in Sydney, have a break and determine where she wants to be in the Melbourne music scene. Focusing more now on the music she loves to play, she has secured a Sunday residency at the popular city bar Beer Deluxe for summer 2012/13, played the prestigious Portsea Polo event alongside Eric Powell & just recently headlined Underground Events Mardi Gras afterparty in Sydney.

Not content to stay behind the decks, Miss Match is involved in event management and music production. During Australia’s summer for the past decade she has run an intimate VIP yacht cruise ‘The Penguin’ in Sydney which  has seen her play alongside legendary DJs such as Andy Ward (Soul Central), Jeremy Healy (UK), Mistress Barbara, Groove Asassins (UK), The Potbelleez and Sean Doyle (Soul Heaven). Her latest event du5k is another intimate event focusing on great people and amazing Tech House DJ’s in Australia. Tech House is where Miss Match’s DJ’ing passion lies and thus the cruise du5k was created purely to follow this path.

Having started production in 2008 and her first track, Tarantism was first off the ranks, with Miss Georgia Brown (Australia) on vocals and scratch ensembles by the talented hip-hop group Blis’n’Eso. In 2009 her Progressive Tech House track Ophelia and three remixes by Boogie State, Craig Obey & Rave Radio, as well as Sydney’s Tech House guru Ben Kelly were all released on iTunes, Beatport, and Juno Download (UK). Her foray into music production has been received with open arms the world over, with some major labels catching Miss Match fever. 

2013 will see Miss Match introducing her Tech House talent in Melbourne, as well as keeping up gigs interstate & overseas.


OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.
