My most recent mix / set, made for my friend Jack's party in the Southern Highlands, and wow, it's been a year already! 

I've had this as private until today. This mix / set features older faves, melodic moments, deeper vibes, percussive grooves, broken beats, ebm, and quite a bit of the new style (minimal, hypnotic, atmospheric, stripped back, groove) techno sound I've been enjoying more and more, from artists like Ignez and Alarico. A direction I hope to explore more in recorded mixes, when spare time and motivation sync.

Various DJ gigs in Sydney 1999 - 2005, and a few in 2008.

2016 got inspired by new sounds in techno music, new friends, Sydney techno DJ Loveless (RIP), and starting doing the digital DJ thing, putting mixes together. Invites to DJ out began.

Monthly Internet radio show: 'Black+Light' on Fnoob Nov 2016 > May 2018,

Passionate about a variety of underground techno music sounds: Deep, dark, atmospheric, brutal, heavy, twisted, minimal, broken, hard, light, beautiful, melodic, hypnotic - all depending on mood.

Loving the industrial, EBM, broken beats, heavy and dark atmospheres in modern techno music right now, still a fan of the rave. Not a fan of the new "hard techno" fast techno, tik-tok techno fad.
