It’s time to say goodbye to the World Peace Series. What better way to do it with a short mix recorded live on Oak Beach in Far North Queensland. On the full moon of a very warm tropical evening. A good way to close the series under the stars.

A special thank you to Thala Beach Resort! Our final days on the beach before returning to the inevitable Sydney lockdown were a sheer joy. Thanks also to my dear friend and lifelong partner, Mark for putting up with my late nights on the DJ decks up here. I love you!

I will, of course, keep mixing. But the World Peace Series must end here. Eight mixes is enough; and, as we all know, World Peace is now up to us coming together. Keeping together is the only way humanity will survive. 

Peace be with you.

Simon.

The Final Hour of World Peace (World Peace Mix #8)

Simon began his public DJ career in 1990, appearing in an eclectic mix of  venues including the Imperial (Sydney), Rock Lily (Sydney), MP's (Gold Coast), Connections (Perth) and Pump (Newcastle), playing a funky house / progressive house style. In 1993 he began playing in more venues along the Sydney Strip, including DCM, The Albury, Taxi Club and Midnight Shift. Throughout the 1990s Simon's popular vocal house style, signatured by long transition mixes and infectious rhythms earned him popularity and a strong following in the competitive club environment. He became well-known in venues such as EP1, Blackmarket (Dayclub, Hellfire), DCM and Spike / Byblos. He also played at a number of dance parties in the mid-90s including "Venus 95" and Sleaze Ball in 1996 - 1998. He played on the Gold Coast (The Meeting Place)until it closed.

Simon is a veteran of the ‘old-skool’ House and House-Techno styles. If you’re on the dance floor at one of his gigs, prepare to be transported immediately into a sublime space. He has an uncanny ability to read his crowd, and often times it sounds like he is playing  just to YOU. It’s a refreshing style, and that makes him very unique in the DJ fraternity.

In 2018, Simon started playing at private dance parties at remote beaches along the Upper Eastern Australian coastline. These are the “World Peace” series - the ones before Covid hit our shores. His signature style still embeds him as a true master of House / Emo-house genre.
