First and foremost, Doug Loch is a musician. A classically trained pianist and guitarist, producer, singer, percussionist and DJ, Doug's versatility and deep grounding in music from a young age ensures an inherent musicality to everything he does.

With a strong belief that music should place equal emphasis on melody and rhythm, Doug reflects this in his compositions and his DJ sets. Elements of deep, organic, progressive house and breaks are present in his music, and he blends a variety of genres to create his own sound, creating music that is interesting, original and emotive. This includes extensive use of syncopation, switching between major and minor keys and supplanting melodies with additional harmonies.

Doug started playing in bands at 13, and his first club experience was at Manchester's legendary Hacienda, in 1986. The following year his school rock band won the UK's TSB Rockschool competition, with the national final held at Camden Palace (now Koko) and screened on BBC TV. He took up DJ'ing and production in his 30's, using Logic and releasing on myspace, and his track "Falling" was featured in the cult film "Kidulthood" in 2006.

Doug moved to Sydney in 2007 and played in bands again while continuing to DJ at parties. Music production took second place to family commitments and a successful and demanding legal career however, until a redundancy in 2023 provided an opportunity to recommit. 

He switched to Ableton Live and studied at Sydney's Liveschool, where he also took a Release Music course. He launched his own music platform, People Like Us, in early 2024, in the form of Sydney parties and a record label. 

Essentially created to provide a platform for his own music, in a performance setting and also in recorded format, the People Like Us parties foster a community approach and provide a forum for like minded music lovers to gather and celebrate their mutual love of music and dance. An extra sizzle is provided by live vocal performances, while the music policy reflects Doug's equal emphasis on melody and rhythm mantra. He recently started hosting a monthly radio show, People Like Us Radio, for the UK's Data Transmission, and DJ'd at their recent party at Amsterdam Dance Event. 

Doug has half a dozen releases under his belt on his People Like Us record label, which have been supported by Electronic Music Australia, Ibiza Sonica Radio, Ibiza Radio One and Acid Stag, among others, plus the Danny Bonnici Remix of his track Dark Storm was played by Hernan Cattaneo, the world's number one progressive house DJ. 

Doug recently hosted and headlined a People Like Us room during Claptone's takeover of Home The Venue at the end of November, and his focus for 2026 is to start releasing on established labels and to playing more events in Sydney, including more People Like Us parties, and to develop his hybrid sets more.

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.
