Tan leather that’s soft on the touch. The smell of rich mahogany as you run your fingers across the steering wheel, and the way the sunlight reflects off the hood in the most, subtle way. This might be how you’d describe the first time you sat in a 1974 Holden Kingswood, but not Boot Action. The first time they were in a Kingswood was in the back seat, being conceived.

Luke Taylor & Jake Waters have always shared a deep affinity for counter culture and played out their musical internship in the subset of the underground scene, a place called Club Kitchen. The after hours rave represented everything they loved in music; House grooves, jazz throwbacks, 808’s and heartbreaks, and with a backdrop of sweat drenched pots & pans.

Months after, they won a set of headphones in a meat raffle, at that point the boys knew; it was time set about giving Boot Action to the world. 

Throwing a few bootlegs into the blogosphere, and gigging anywhere that would take him, BA hit it’s stride with the release of debut EP ‘Bosun’. The grimy trumpet laden house jam pricked the ears of tastemakers RUFUS, and was eventually signed to Sweat It Out in early 2014. It enjoyed regular plays on triple J, and also mad support from Yolanda Be Cool, Tommy Trash, Tommie Sunshine, Motez, Dom Dolla, Sinden, Beni, KLP, The Aston Shuffle, and Zombie Disco Squad to name a few.

Their follow up single 'Gorgan' debuted at #26 in the Aria Charts with support from AC Slater, Playmode, Golden Features, Danny T, Hey Sam, Go Freek, Mike Metro, Wongo & more. Tocadisco included it in his ‘Tocacabana’ radio show
And Golden Features dropped it in his closing set at Beyond The Valley festival 2014.

Boot Action is well and truly here. The only thing that will stop this gentlemen from turning up at your local watering hole and blowing the roof off is if the Kingswood breaks down, or customs takes his USB’s again … It’s said they were allegedly bomb checked in Sydney and confiscation was a matter of public safety.

HARD TECHNO DJ / PRODUCER 🇩🇪

When I was born, television was not as much of a big deal as it is nowadays (back then, there were only three programs). Thus, the TV was not switched on until evening hours, when I was already in bed. My mom, who was quite young, listened to music non-stop. I noticed that this situation has not failed to leave a mark on me. When I was twelve years old, my mom had another baby boy, which entailed that I never got to enjoy my own room. It was not easy for me, especially being a teen-ager. Music helped me to cope with that situation! My stereo and my great head-set helped me create my own room in my imagination. Usually, when kids want to be left alone, they go to their room and lock the door! I used to put my headset on, turned on the music and I drifted into my dream world and did not care about the rest of the world. The longer the speech, the less thought: Since always, music has played a major role in my life!
I was introduced to electronic music in the early 1990’. Shortly after getting to know Culture Beat, 2Unlimited, Marusha, U96 and Scooter (Hyper Hyper), I started getting into Techno and House!
In 1995, when I was just 16 years old, I discovered a night-club where I used to sneak in. I was still minor of age. It was the so-called TOR 3 in Düsseldorf!! Wow, what an amazing club!!! People who remember this place know what I am talking about…this was it! I was in love!!! My life consisted of nothing else but school and TOR 3. I went there every weekend for 6 month! After that, it was shut down and was only opened for special events, for instance, UNION RAVE or ACID WARS! I was terribly sad!
Although dj’s were like gods to me, I didn’t think of becoming a dj back then. In the beginning, it was just about the party for me. It was until that day when my best friend met her new boy-friend back then in 2004. He is the first dj whom I got to know in person. I regularly watched him play music. That’s how I got more interested in becoming a dj. I was amazed and thought I will be able to do the same. By the end of 2005, I had saved up enough money to buy myself my own equipment (2MK2 + DENON soundmixer) at the music store!
After having understood the basics of playing music, I gained experience with live dj’s at friends’ houses until the year of 2009! And then finally in 2009, I was the opening dj at a public party at KOLBHALLE !!! It is hard to imagine, how nervous I was!!! Luckily, the club was filled from the very beginning, since it was somebody’s birthday at that party. After having played the first three disks without having made a mistake, I went from a feeling of being nervous to a feeling of pure adrenaline and I rocked the house! After that I played at BUTAN CLUB Wuppertal,RHEINGOLD Düsseldorf,FEIER RHEIN OPEN AIR, BLUMENGOLD, KUNSTPARK,AXA-Hochhaus, PFORT XI, NEU SCHWANSTEIN AND MANY MORE....
