aka Kietz, aka Cop in the Corner, aka Dark Bearded Man

SHIVERS* aka Timothy Love is on a journey..

The Sydney based Dj / producer is of Antipodean stock, but it was his formative years living in the metropolis of London through the early 90’s that has forged who - and what - he is today.

SHIVERS* is a product of a rich melodic history. Drawing on an array of genres and inspiration of the past to solidify his inimitable and unique sound, today.

Harmonic fluency and percussive persuasions are witnessed through his productions. Each piece a homage to a time, a place or a feeling and running through all, the effortlessness of deep, raw emotion.

With a career spanning almost fifteen years in dance music - he has seen, heard and experienced things, worlds and sounds that others have not; that others have perhaps not allowed the fringes of their soul to explore.

With musicality that oozes nocturnal ambience and an antique neon dream like quality SHIVERS* will take you on a capricious escapade through all his life has encountered. Vast spaces and endless galactic particles streak past in a blur, as if riding shotgun in the mothership itself - wonder and awe abound.

His debut 2012 release on the cult Berlin imprint Mother Recordings (Love Falls / Strangers In The Dark) was met with much critical acclaim; and rightly so. It is forward thinking house music, dark and brooding but with evocative hints of the past – a rich musical past at that. The iconic Ibiza Voice reviewed the release declaring it ‘would no doubt remain timeless for years to come’ and awarded it with a coveted 8/10.

The wider musical fraternity also embraced the release with support coming from uber tastemakers around the planet – Deetron, The Revenge, Droog, Dj Sneak, Dyed Soundorom, Kiki, Fur Coat, Catz n Dogz, Audiojack and Reboot but to name a handful..

Since then releases on Neim, Runnin Wild, Exotic Refreshment, Escapism Musique and more have followed and have already hinted at what looks to be the beginning a future filled with much promise..

Hyperbole aside - it’s all about the connection between an artist and their work and above all else – ‘sound’ is the mark that SHIVERS* intends to leave on all, beyond time..


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.

Ben Nott
DJ, Producer, Events organizer, nightclub owner (Lucky Cat) Funktion One Audio Production - Sydney.

Ben Nott- Blueprint, Sydney.
It began in the USA at the end of the 90’s, where Chicago house and 
Detroit Techno legends; Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Juan Atkins, 
Slater Hogan, Kevin Saunderson and the like showed Ben the light and 
lead him to the decks then into the promoter world, There was no 
turning back, the next 5 years saw Ben touring the states playing vinyl 
at raves and clubs while also throwing his own Xanadu shows which had 
up to 5k people in attendance!
The new Millennium saw Ben relocating to the UK and regularly DJing 
all over Europe with all the big boys such as Steve Lawler, Hernan 
Cattaneo, Danny Howells, Layo & bushwacka and Sasha plus hosting 
his own Club night; Ultra, which was based in Birmingham and at one 
point was a feature on Pete Tongs BBC radio one show as one of the 
best nights in the country!
After a decade of being heavily involved in all aspects of Europe’s club 
culture, A new adventure was calling – Sydney Australia was next, 
where he worked with Funktion One Audio at all the big festivals and 
built his own party BLUEPRINT, considered one of the city’s best 
underground parties today. In his own words I’ve always looked for 
melody and journey in all music I listen to and play, dj sets are a 
story” 
Since the conception of Blueprint 10 years ago Ben has held x300+ 
events all over Sydney and Melbourne, has featured some of the 
world’s best underground artist, held weekly Saturday and Sunday 
events at Kings Cross and Barangaroo, Plus Bunka! An 800 person 
carpark under Sydney city, while also playing for S.A.S.H, CicoLoco, 
Electric Gardens, Shipwrecked Nz, Cloud 9- Fiji, Subsonic, Division, 
Burdekin, T-1000, Revolver, Breakfast Club, We Love, Maitreya, Return 
to Rio, Strawberry fields, kiss Fm and just about every other promoter 
and club around Sydney and a far!
All this while running his own Restaurant in Sydney- The Lucky Cat!

Recently the restaurant has moved from the beaches and now taken on 
a new form, after years of experience in events and the restaurant 
game the Lucky Cat 2.0 was born, a new creative hub in the heart of the 
city now consisting of a restaurant, cocktail lounge and nightclub, This 
is already proving a huge success and a logical step on his journey, so 
there’s no stopping anytime soon and see you on the dance floor!

In a saturated and cloned dance music market, it is becoming all too common to merely emulate, rather than stand out, be unique and create memorable music. Our passion for timeless, creative and intimate music allows us to  filter through to the artists we invite to join Decoded Magazine We do not look for just anyone, we are looking for people who create memorable music that inspires and invokes emotion, rather than be disposable chart topping hits and mixes.

We support and nurture underground house, progressive, techno, deep house, minimal, breaks, electronic, drum and bass music.

We live in a world of mass media consumerism, yet never tell a story. Never in the history of mankind, has so much information been available, yet our voices are never heard. Decoded Magazine aims to deliver thought provoking, intelligent journalistic articles that affect the generations who are passionate about electronic music, fashion, lifestyle, industry news, interviews, travel, food and breaking new emerging talent beyond the dance floor. We provide ethical, provoking and humorous content to a global audience.

We are a collective of professional marketing managers, print & web designers, recording artists, journalists, label owners, DJs, social media marketers, event promoters, music publishers and more. It is a labour of love for us, it is a passion that runs deep, a feeling of taking back control of an industry we love and so heavily invest in with our own personal lives. We are not grandstanding, we are not thinking we are going to change the world overnight, but we do hope that we can slowly be a game changer in what people listen to, explore or experience.

Driven to produce a thoroughly modern and individual style of underground dance music, Amháin has consistently found himself at the bleeding edge of innovative progressive house. Using his innate skills to transport listeners into new and distant worlds both from behind the decks at the likes of Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle in the US, and Rainbow Serpent in his Australian home, with an impressive clutch of statement releases. Balance Music, Vapour Recordings, Mango Alley, Higher States and GMJ & Matter’s Meanwhile have all played host to his music.

A tireless innovator, constant collaborator, RBMA studio mentor, inspirational deejay - Passarani has always been at the forefront of electronic music. With more Discogs pages than the EU has legislation, Passarani has released, to name a few, fine twelves on Gerd Jansons Running Back label, crafted covers of Alexander O’Neal and The Jungle Brothers for Peacefrog, re-invigorated Boogie and Italo as Tiger & Woods and could possibly be the only producer to have been remixed by both Ricardo Villalobos and Autechre. 
He has played a pivotal yet covert role forwarding electronic music in Europe and beyond  - strengthening the ties between Rome (his hometown), Glasgow, Detroit and Rotterdam with his Final Frontier / Nature / Pigna stable of labels and to this day he continues to be an inspiration and educator for the younger generation.
After his latest solo adventures on Jackmaster’s related Numbers label and Fort Romeau’s Cin Cin, his restless journey continues with an album that came out in early 2019 on the highly revered Vladimir Ivkovic’s Offen Music: Marco’s first solo album in more than 10 years called “WOW”! Last but not least, he just started a brand new label called Unrelatable, reviving that Finalfrontier spirit of the ealry days of his musical life.
