Quakes is a DJ deeply rooted in the weighty pulse of UK bass music, drawing inspiration from dubstep, grime, and the sub-heavy sounds of sound system culture. Since first discovering the genres as a 10y/o drummer in 2007, he’s been captivated by its raw energy and meditative low end — a passion that has only deepened over nearly two decades.

With nine years of formal classical percussion training behind him, Quakes brings a refined rhythmic focus to every set — blending syncopated basslines with atmospheric textures and percussive depth. His selections are immersive, grounded in deep dub sensibilities, yet built to move crowds in both bush and club environments.

A dedicated vinyl collector, Quakes also performs all-vinyl sets that draw from rare dubplates, white label grime instrumentals, UKG and classic 140 gems — paying homage to the roots of the culture while showcasing his crate-digging instincts.

Since 2017, Quakes has been a consistent presence in Sydney’s underground scene, performing at (and organising) warehouse raves, outdoor gatherings, and bush doofs. He is a key member of Gennyada crew. Recent highlights include three sets at Twisted Frequency Festival NZ 2025 (2 representing DUNJ crew) and sets at Art Valley Winter 2025 and Dragon Dreaming Festival 2025. He has also shared stages with international heavyweights such as Ago, Biome, Hijinx, Nina, Sherelle, Tubby Isiah, Degs, and Gardna.

Whether under the trees or inside warehouse walls, Quakes delivers sound system-ready sets that balance sonic weight with spatial awareness — crafted to move both body and mind. A true student of bassweight, his performances are composed for deep listening and ground-shaking release.
