Dragonfly Sydney 2005-2009 Part 1

Sydney 2005-2009 there was one club that was the place to be. Deep in the heart of Kings Cross, this venue played host to celebrities, models, the rich and famous and a sprinkling of gangsters.

As a long time DJ resident of the club I was also to take over the marketing and entertainment roster. It was a heady mix of hands in the air driving vocal house to electro, it was hot and packed every night. 

This series will be a highlight of some of the biggest tracks and my personal favourites from that era.

Enjoy..

I Remember | Dragonfly 2005-2009 Part 1

From New Zealand but soaking up the shores of Australia’s classy party capital Sydney, the career of DJ Cadell unites a phenomenal magic between the music and the drive for a good tune. Thriving on a desire to share nu-disco to the house heroes, progressive to tech, he brings a buzz unique to every set delivered across Australia, Asia Miami, Mykonos and Balearic haven Ibiza.

For ARIA chart DJ Cadell, the inspiration came with the rise of Erick Morillo who took the house music scene over more than a decade ago. Firing off a winning vocal anthem with the deep and sultry shades of a tech-tainted tune, Cadell ignites a club every time he jumps on. Well respected across the Sydney electronic map, he has held the key to shows across the town supporting Laidback Luke, Calvin Harris, Thomas Gold, Roger Sanchez and Erick Morillo himself. From Marquee to The Argyle, Greenwood and Trademark, its no wonder Sydney music enthusiasts don’t resist a play on the dance floor with Cadell in charge. Yet with a music gold mine up his sleeve, Good Vibrations, Big Day Out and Pacha have too been struck giving this sure fire DJ a deserved welcome.

The last two decades have seen Cadell take the stage at some of the world’s most prestigious events and festivals while some of the largest brands in the world including Coca Cola, Qantas, Virgin, CBA, KPMG, Macquarie Bank have all been seduced by his musical selection and have chosen him to entertain them. Industry professionals enjoy picking at his knowledge embracing him as a leader in itself. From DJ instructor at DMC DJ School to monthly mix resident at Today FM’s The Revolution show, he has his stamp of approval in concrete. Outside of the booth Cadell is the Director of a digital music promotions service Musik Lounge where his collaborative record, label and marketing knowledge span far and wide.  

Delivering a perfect blend of soul stirring house and disco, tune in and be enthralled while Cadell brings the music and brings it well.
