Walker (Aust)
South East Queensland, Australia

As a multi-talented presence in QLD’s music landscape, Walker resists genre-defining labels and channels the spirit of openness that was once the default in electronic music.

Walker’s talent breathes its way through his musical output. “Music is always evolving, nothing stands still....And that’s exactly how I like it”.

His artistic perspective comes from a life thoroughly lived, and his talent comes from an obsession in finding a way to express it.

Walker has played for iconic venues and established brands that are the backbone of the Australian dance music eco system. Elsewhere (Gold Coast), SASH (Brisbane), Bodywork (Sydney), Dragonfruit (Brisbane), OneSixOne (Melbourne), Storyville (Melbourne), Sussudio (Sydney) and many more. A career that has spanned just over a decade.

“My first loves will always be house, disco and techno, and that’s what I’ve become known for, but there’s much more freedom when we paint outside of the lines, and find a way to forge all of my tastes into the one cohesive groove set. Stripped back, quirky, vibrant, colourful, i am looking to deliver unique dance floor experiences”, he explains in a recent interview with the Dance Culture Vibe podcast.

Walker approached the industry by creating events that cater to a more niche audience in his earlier days. These events, called "Sookyfuq" (ran in conjunction with Impact Events) provided a safe haven across QLD and Northern NSW for house & techno enthusiasts to enjoy a more pure experience in a region not typically known for traditional house and techno music. When asked why he feels compelled to manage events, build the scene’s infrastructure and nurture new talent, Walker is of the view that “A rising tide lifts all boats”. 

His deep house releases on Buxton have been guided in part by label owner Adam Swain. The two have shared endless discussions on how meaning is created through music and the way in which Buxton bring it to their releases. One of Walker's releases via Buxton Records, "Love generated through perseverance" received some high profile air time by world-class DJ & Producer, Dennis Ferrer, during one of his Boiler Room sets.

Walker enjoys a DJ residency each month at his local social club, Elsewhere. "This is my favourite room and booth to play in the country! In my opinion, it is one of the top 5 clubs in Australia. Not many clubs sit in that top tier of club-royalty in Australia for consistency audiences, years of operation and music policy". Elsewhere is a venue that he considers to be the Gold Coast creative hub where “My relationships, profile and creative brain are tickled each week!”. Walker holds the relationships he has with his "teachers and mentors" in very high regard, having the opportunity to work with many legends of the national scene, since starting in 2010. His close mentorship with Audun (2013-2015) and Giv (2021 to present) at Elsewhere has been invaluable in learning the true art of the craft. 

A talented musician and a vital presence.

As A.D.A.M. Baby! (A Disco Ate My BABY!), I started to make music for the dancefloor at the now-legendary Berlin Lounge Bar, Surfers Paradise, back in 2000. Some of these tracks were released on several 12 inch vinyl 45s, and started receiving attention from DJs further afield. After that I took a portable version of my studio out to play live, and had support from local and national radio. Triple J released the "Groove Train" album on CD featuring my track "Hold On". Pete Tong's Essential Mix  featured my edit of Dusty Springfield's classic "Windmills Of Your Mind".

For the last fifteen years or so I've been the producer and studio monkey for Funboys.

A lot has happened in the last 20 years of dance music, but one constant has been Get Physical right at the sharp end of the scene. The label has become a globally recognised symbol of quality, renowned for its always varied and vital house output. Forming the backbone of the label's vast catalogue is the influential in-house DJ mix series, Body Language. It is a snapshot of exactly where the underground is at and has been assembled by tastemakers such as Azari & III, Catz ‘N Dogz, Dixon, DJ Hell, Francesco Tristano, Nôze and of course label-founders Booka Shade, DJ T., and M.A.N.D.Y..

Next to that there has been a constant stream of innovative, dance-floor ready singles, crossover club classics, seminal remixes and a number of standout artist albums. The label has always stayed true to its house roots, but with a rich array of influences taken from the worlds of disco, deep, tech and melodic house. Along the way, Get Physical´s core artists have been joined by red hot new talents including Alinka, Thandi Draai, PAUZA, Yulia Niko, Birds Of Mind, CIOZ and Monkey Safari. There have also been carefully considered forays into thriving house music scenes in Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Croatia and India: dedicated compilations and EPs have highlighted those region's most exciting new talents and given them a global platform. 

The name says it all: Get Physical tracks could hardly be more moving and corporeal. It was true in 2002, and it will be true in 2022 and beyond. To celebrate the occasion, the label will reissue some of its most classic tracks, host special anniversary events and release a new range of merchandise in collaboration with Australian brand One Teaspoon. Get Physical has already made a huge contribution to the history of contemporary house music, but rest assured the German label still has plenty more to say.
