Tangenziale has been spinning vinyl since 1995, acquiring his first pair of SL1200 turntables from a local mobile DJ who was ‘upgrading’ to CD. :)

Playing Triple J’s Mix-Up in November 1997, Tangenziale created a 3 hour live mix including tracks by local Ballarat electronic artist Kriyashakti (Chris Pollard). Part of this set was again repeated on New Year’s Eve 1997 as part of a ‘best of’ show alongside Josh Wink’s Mix Up set from that year amongst others.

The set was recorded on an absolute minimum of gear: 1x tiny 2x channel Gemini mixer, 1x SL1200 and one awful 1200 clone, a Roland MC303, some sort of Yamaha synth, recorded to a hired DAT machine. I highly suspect it only got a replay because the DAT was probably still laying around the Mix Up studio haha.

Tangenziale, originally known as DJ 2600, also hosted a weekly electronic music radio show (The Genesis Project) on Ballarat’s 3BBB FM, started Kinesthesia Productions organising free bush doof parties, played at many Victorian doofs (incl. Imajica, Ganeshatribe) and Kryal Castle parties (Wild Things) along with occasional Melbourne club nights (Earthcore at Seven, Bass Station). He also played regular club nights at Ballarat’s Bridge Mall Inn, Grainery Lane, Ballarat Uni, random warehouses.

Favoured genres are jungle, liquid drum and bass, deep house, classic techno, vintage psychedelic trance, and electronic ambience/chill out.
