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 ecosystem. Elsewhere (Gold Coast), SASH (Brisbane & Sydney), Bodywork (Sydney), Dragonfruit (Brisbane), Lemon & Lime (Brisbane), SummerLoop (Brisbane), OneSixOne (Melbourne), Storyville (Melbourne), Method Project @ Sussudio (Sydney), Deep Cargo (Melbourne) 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!”.

A talented musician and a vital presence.

Making music since I was 11 years old, Grew up learning to play piano but eventually found my groove playing Bass & Guitar with My dad, listening to all types of classic Rock,Punk, Blues, Funk, Disco and many more genres. learning Guitar and Bass from my father often Jamming. I Began DJing NYE 2021 at a massive Beach Party at Tallebudgera Creek (with All my mates) one that will go down in history ahahah (Estimated ~3000+ attendance) !! From there I got the taste for mixing Originally playing Hip Hop - Rap and Trap, sets Ranging From My personal favorite West Coast Classics ~The East Coast legends and the newer generations following, the Flatbush Zombies, A$AP Mob and Run The Jewels. My First Introduction to Techno/ Electronic Music was early on in my childhood with my neighborhood friends Brother Elijah Showing Me Daft Punk, What an awesome introduction !!! From there I would watch him play DJ hero with his brother, little did I know how much of an Impact It would later have on me. Being a kid I loved listening to music and was stoked to buy my first CD's Which would influence my taste for the years to come, 2007 Alive Daft Punk, Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon: The End of Day, and last but not least Kanye West's Late Registration. Having all the foundations and a strong love for music me and my friends on the Coast began to develop and add to the underground scene raves, holding parties, Events and Doofs, all around the Coast most known for the then monthly and  weekly after parties held at the spit for Events we were playing at the clubs in Surfers Paradise such as, The Arcade(Our House)(Echoes)(Briefly for Dreamstate Events {after parting ways on Differences}),Cocktails(BrazosGC), Skyline Rooftop, The FIIK warehouse (The Bunker), and Elsewherebar (WE Love) Holding Such events we made a tight knit group of friends who all share the same great love for music! as well as Showing love for Sub Rosa in Brisbane with the Drum and Bass Scene (Rum Jungle events). At our La Resistencia Events I met Adiel Mora through our mutual Friends D'Vega and Josese. This would spark our continued relationship through We Love, with myself always supporting and promoting for months leading up to July 2022 Eventually becoming part of the Head Promoter group for We Love Gold Coast; Thursday Nights @ Elsewhere Surfers. Special thanks to Ricardo Bugueno / Nick Reverse/ Dan Quinn /& Paco Osuna & of course my mother & Father n extended family 🙏❤️‍🩹
