DJ, selector and collector of music, since 1996. Producer and creator of audio ensembles, and tinkerer of hardware and tools, since around the same time.

And so, this page emerges to consolidate what worthy dj sets and mixes have made it through the last 30ish years of my story, as well as slowly gathering together half a life-times worth of completed music, and quietly releasing these creation online for donation, with any gained revenue going directly to local and national charities.

May humanity come to love themselves and eachother
And find our way home

Brought up in the forests of Tasmania, Owen Braddock grew up in a house that had a HiFi system in the place of TV, which turned all his attention towards sound, music & how sonic frequencies interacted with the world around him.
Early in 2014, deep in the kiwi mountains a friend gave the now dance music obsessed Owen an intro into mixing music on a set of Pioneer cdjs, and Monkey Paws was born. That April he moved to Melbourne, where his love of high quality dance music led him to the Progressive & Techno collective Groovement Productions & playing his debut set at their 'Funky Freak Show' before Maxi Basshead that July.
In 2015 the Monkey created The Rebel Collective with Melbourne born producer, Skwid as an independent platform/label to host events & promote music they both love & create.
Throughout the time he spent living in Melbourne the Monkey refined his psychedelic blend of driving progressive grooves playing at numerous well renowned events & club nights hosted by crews such as Yemaya Festival, Beyond Surreal, BFG Sound-System, Contact High, Rebel Collective, Ergot Radio, Counter Culture, Intergalactic, Groovement Productions, Versus & Sand Tribe throughout Victoria. His sound reached the right ears across in New Zealand & after coming over to play at festivals such as Infinite One, Discombobulation, Twisted Frequency, Golden Bass, Cymatics & Ponies he left Australia & settled in the South Island of NZ.
