Ordia’s journey with electronic music began in the early '90s, falling in love with dance music before even understanding what it was. Influenced early on by pioneers like Jam & Spoon, Orbital, and Underworld, these formative sounds laid the foundation for a lifelong obsession.

His voice and selections have featured across numerous radio shows - from underground UK broadcasts to Melbourne’s Street FM, and even co-hosting on Kiss FM in the late '90s. Today, he's come full circle, hosting Positive Education every Monday night on Kiss FM Australia - a show known for its carefully curated sets, guest interviews and deep dives into the genre’s icons.

In particular, the 101 Series has become a fan favourite: a radio documentary-style format celebrating legendary acts like The Prodigy, Future Sound of London, Jeff Mills, Aphex Twin, and Underworld - weaving music, stories, and context into a sonic journey through their legacies.

While Ordia’s taste spans the electronic spectrum, techno remains his foundation - especially the deeper, hypnotic, melodic strains. His sets blend rolling rhythms, heavy synth basslines, and immersive atmospheres that are as entrancing as they are energising.

Catch him every Monday 8:30-10pm only on Kiss FM: Dance Music Australia.
