Dj/ Music & vinyl collector for well over 2 decades Phil has called Newcastle home since the early years of the once vibrant underground scene. 
Phil began DJing in the early 2000's, a unique time in the electronic music scene, and since then has played a big hand in bringing the scene back to the little big city with a new Radio show on Sydneys Orbital Radio with long time friend bee K called 'space Cakes', his own event & collaboration with close friends 'The Social', has worked alongside other Newcastle based crews such as ColourSound & DirtyFeet as well as helping kick off the burner scene locally & being a co-founding member of local theme camp MIND SUB.
Phil has DJ'd at events ranging from warehouse raves to festivals, from park gatherings to clubs from Sydney to Newcastle & Internationally,
Phil's humble approach to music follows no specific genre:
"with how popular the electronic music scene is now, it's hard to stay with the one sound without fear of sounding too familiar. Music is ever evolving & to stay fresh it’s important to test yourself, even if it means reaching into other genres or digging back through old tracks & re-inventing them with modern sounds."

DJ bios are terrible things... so let me just tell you a few things about myself and we'll leave it at that?

I'm Dave Stuart and im that DJ / Record Store owner & event promoter from Sydney. I've plied my 'craft' through the best & worst times on Sydney's nightlife and im still as passionate about what I do as the night I first set foot in a DJ booth.

Every part of searching for music to stock at our shop, finding tracks to fit in my dj sets, and figuring out which dj's to book & when for our events gives me reason and purpose and I enjoy every second of it.

As a dj I love the deeper dubbier cuts of records, and most of my dj sets show this side of me, for those of your that like to categorise things via genres then feel free to pigeon hole me as a dj that plays dub techno, minimal house, tech house, deep house, and techno.... so yes all the bollocks. But I try as best I can to adhere to some sound advise that a Dj much better than myself once gave me; “its not what you play, its when and how you play it”. And that simple sentence has influenced how I approach my dj'ing. Aside from playing in Sydney for what seems like forever I regularly visit Europe to play and have been known to play in the usual haunts including; Tresor / Globus, ://about blank , Salon Zur Wilden Renate, Golden Gate, Chalet and Griessmuehle, Secktor – Dresden, & more.

When it comes to events I have been running in parties in Sydney for over a decade and am co-founder of Something Else, which has somehow managed to stay running (mostly in a weekly format) since 2014 but we've been around longer than than in other guises....Something Else has a house & techno vibe and again if you need to know names..... we've had the likes of djs like; Vlad Arapasu / Ada kaleh, Silat Beksi, Eric Cloutier, Vril (Delsin / Giegling) Patrice Scott (Sistrum), DJ DEEP (Deeply Rooted / Fr), Norman Nodge (Ostgut Ton), Answer Code Request.... you get the idea right?

In 2018 Something Else expanded and opened a record store under the same name, Something Else Records is based in Sydney's suburb of Newtown and is focused primarily on similar sounds that you would find at the Something Else and similar like mind parties around Sydney. Something Else Records proudly carries exclusively electronic music across the house, techno and electro spectrum.

Penchant for gritty trippy rhythms
instagram: lovefromsophh

Born and raised in Noosa, an insatiable thirst for underground sounds led Jackson to relocate to Sydney in early 2015 where he swiftly became a staple selector around the city, subsequently gaining a wealth of knowledge from collaboration with renowned crews Conspiracy Music, Subsonic Festival and SASH.

A love aﬀair with vinyl ensued, one that’s stayed strong, leading him
on a never-ending search for innovative music to share with
dancefloors. A House head foremost but harbouring anything from
fresh to retro, fast to slow, Jackson has a penchant for selecting the keysound for the occasion.

Fast forward to 2025, back in his beachside hometown, Jackson
paddled into the wave of a fast growing electronic music scene,
utilising 14 years of experience and connections to create Wax Lyrical, soon after firmly joining forces with local powerhouse Spicytech to bring purely sound focused events showcasing deep-digging selectors from interstate & abroad, programmed for optimal output and maximum enjoyment.
