Andrew Wowk is a DJ, producer, radio host, promoter, and writer who has been active in the Eora (Sydney) electronic music scene for over 20 years. First introduced to dance music culture through work experience at community radio station Rhythm FM at age 16, Andrew exudes a passion for and knowledge of music that is the result of years of experience.

As a DJ, Andrew has earned a reputation for refined technical skills and eclectic track selection. His tastes run the gamut of techno, house, breakbeat, drum & bass and jungle, electro, and leftfield electronica, demonstrating a deep respect for the history of dance music, a love for its present, and excitement about its future. But even with such a wide range of music at his disposal, he finds ways to combine these numerous sounds into a cohesive whole. Often focused more on telling a story or creating a particular feeling with his sets, he regularly moves fluidly across stylistic boundaries, preferring to find other similarities between tracks than just their genre.

His intelligent approach to DJing has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists. He has also received international recognition, being invited to play guest sets at Circus Osaka in Japan, DEPTH and Train Car House Party in Seattle, as well as perform on 313.FM in Detroit, WNYU in New York, and provide mixes for Animal Instinct in Berlin, Fnoob Radio, and Error Sessions in the UK.

Outside of club DJing, Andrew also produces music under the alias End User License Agreement, which has been released on labels such as Biotech Recordings, Baroque Recordings, Extra Spicy, Communication Records, Monarch Recordings, and Late Night Music. His remix of Floor Twenty’s “Say My Name” and his original track “Chonk” were both featured in Beatport’s and Juno's best bass music releases from 2021. He also hosts a weekly radio show "Time To Track" on 2SER, regularly writes for both print and online media, and runs events covering the spectrum of underground dance music, featuring previous headliners such as Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Marcus Intalex, Regis, Hodge, Adriana Lopez, Djinn, SNTS, and Nastia Reigel. 

Andrew is passionate about social and political issues and strongly believes in using music as a medium for addressing these issues. Much of the music he loves was originally created in tandem with social, cultural, and political movements, and he believes that contemporary music should also carry a message. To put this into practice, he launched Music For Change, a label which donates 100% of profits from all releases to various charities, alongside Jessica Tassone in 2021. Releases on the label have been supported by international artists such as Dave Clarke, Ani Klang, and Alchemist/Amy Kisnorbo, played on BBC Radio 1, and added to the rotation on local radio stations FBI Radio and 2SER.

Martin Schmieger Aka Reiner Von Vielen had already recorded all DJ sets on the radio in the mid-nineties. At that time he supplied his classmates with a double cassette deck and developed his first feeling for digging music. In 2001, he came into contact with OKJ Jena for the first time. A first love for radio developed, which was to last for another two years. After that, he started leaving half of his fortune in record shops and quickly reached thousands of records. In 2007, all the hustle and bustle had become too much for him and he disappeared from the Jena scene again for the time being. In 2011, he made his glorious comeback as a radio presenter and the Herzklopfen Radio programme in OKJ was born. Every 4th Friday of the month, the crème de la crème of the Jena house and techno scene came to his studio. In January 2016, the station was restructured and he was brought into the https://soundcloud.com/radioelectronicajena team by Nicola Candelaria. Today he is mainly responsible for booking, new introductions and the internationalisation of the Radio Electronica brand. Since the beginning of 2021 he has been doing the booking for the Blur Podcast and supports his friend  https://soundcloud.com/fredastermusic from https://soundcloud.com/blurrecords_ao in many label matters.

RADIO ELECTRONICA was one of the first independent radio programmes to go on air in Jena in 1999. The background was to bring colour into the dreary Thuringian radio programme and to create a platform where regional and national artists from the electronic music scene could present themselves and exchange ideas. RADIO ELECTRONICA claims to be always on the trail of new influences, trends and artists in the field of electronic music.

The show quickly developed from the first pre-productions to a live broadcast, which can be heard every four weeks on Saturdays from 7pm to midnight on the open channel Jena on UKW 103.4 Mhz and via online stream (https://radio-okj.de/wp-content/themes/radiookj/okj-player.html).

With a steadily growing fan base, RADIO ELECTRONICA is still a firm institution in the field of electronic music in Jena and beyond the city limits. Besides the latest scene trends and record presentations, studio guests are a big part of the show.

MUSIC: @dramainthesauna
DJ: @nick__spurway / SWEATY (w/ Sophie Forrest)
PARTY: @furcoatsydney
RADIO: @radioelectronicajena

Nick Spurway builds his sets under the ethos of “less chin stroking, more dancing”, having no trouble flipping between thumping techno, high energy disco and pumping, swingy house within the hour. Nick established his reputation as a killer DJ in his early twenties, playing for numerous parties in Eora/sydney along Oxford Street and deep in Marrickville warehouse party territory, cutting between pitch perfect, vinyl-only opening sets and late-night banging closers.

Across the last ten years, Nick has shared his sound at straight techno nights and day-long queer festivals, from tiny basement parties to 10,000 festival goers. He’s been invited to play for some of the best local and national institutions including Something Else, Loose Ends, Dark Mofo, Midsumma, SASH and the infamous Pavlova Bar parties, playing up to six hours at a time. Being continually booked at a wide range of events has helped Nick create and refine his sets; tying together his long established love of the “holy trinity” of house, disco and funk, with techno, ambient, breakbeat, dance-punk and new wave thrown in for good measure. 

By the time he moved interstate to Naarm/melbourne, Nick had teamed up with fellow DJ, producer and activist Sophie Forrest, forming the duo SWEATY, culminating in a triumphant and well-received closing set at Midsumma Carnival 2022 and co-founded Fur Coat, a "gender-bender discotheque for queers and their peers", with Sophie, Matt Jay and SVEN, throwing parties in the inner west of Sydney with a final, 8-hour party before the pandemic hit, for Sydney Mardi Gras 2020. Both these collaborations continue to the present day. When he's not throwing his own parties, Nick is seen playing alongside some of the very best of local and international talent, such as Simon Caldwell, Move D, Bicep, JNETT, Ayebatonye, Stereogamous, Efdemin, Jane Fitz, Lorna Clarkson, Art Simone, CC:DISCO! and Gavilán Rayna Russom, to name a few.

With spectacular timing, Nick moved himself south to Melbourne in 2020, before lockdowns sent everyone inside for almost two years. Undeterred by this and with no clubs to play at, Nick expanded his talents elsewhere: elevating his music production with one to one mentoring from production legend Red Rack’em as part of his groundbreaking ‘How I Program’ music production community in 2020; hosting and producing a monthly radio show ‘Radio Electronica Australia’, since 2021, and releasing his first original track in 2022.

He kept his DJ chops fresh with live streams from his living room and guest-appearances on fellow DJ’s radio shows. Instead of dropping these pandemic-era habits when clubs re-opened, Nick continues to participate in all of the above, with his popular radio show celebrating four years on the air, in February 2025, with no signs of slowing down.

When Nick began to release his first tracks, he decided to separate the DJ from the producer and a new project was created: Drama in the Sauna. His first completed track, a remix of ‘Gradient’ by Eora/sydney artist Lagoon, was released in 2021, followed by his debut EP on Blur Records in 2022, entitled ‘Hot Water Laundry Service’. In December 2023, Nick released his second EP, 'Rushall', in time for summer, with self-produced tracks 'tongue twister' and 'It's Funny' dropped in 2024 and 'Can't Sleep', produced with frequent collaborator Future Self, released on Self Control Records in January 2025.

After five years down south, Nick moved back to Eora/Sydney in early 2025, reconnecting and establishing his love for the city that made his DJing, bringing with him producing, collaborations and radio, to begin a new phase of his career as it approaches its 20th anniversary.
