1. Growing Up

I’ve always had a love for electronic music. My parents did too. I had a close friend teach me how to mix when I was about 15/16 years old. Playing my favourite tunes to people and watching them enjoy my music sounded quite surreal at the time. But there’s almost no better feeling than experiencing that now.

2. Inspirations

Archie Hamilton is a highlight at the moment. VincentIulian, Barac, Lorenzo Chiabotti, Brett Jacobs, iO (Mulen), Priku, Arapu, Vinyl Speed Adjust and Levi Verspeek are all favourites.

3. Your Crew

Having my crew there to support, dance and be there at parties by my side is key for me. My friends all love the same music and we all look forward to events together.During the week, I’m a freelance graphic designer – being a part of both the music and design industries literally go hand in hand with my weekly lifestyle.

4. The Music You Make And Play

My sets include groovy tech house with hypnotic minimal elements. I’ve recently started up a podcast series called Lokomotiv, which is pushing exclusive podcasts from international and local guests weekly who share the same love for the same music I do. It’s really cool working with artists I look up to, getting them to record mixes for my series. Last week I had Javier Carballo and Adam Touch feature on Lokomotiv. I’m really excited to see how this project pans out in the future. You can check it out at soundcloud.com/lokomotiv-music.

5. Music, Right Here, Right Now

The past few months, Sydney’s been on fire. I’ve partied as well as been a part of so many great events. I’m super excited to be warming up for Mantra Collective at their 3rd Birthday with FUSE London in December at the Factory Theatre. I live on the Northern Beaches in Manly, and there is a small scene growing. It’s great watching something that started with nothing slowly develop a music sense. The Engine Room and BRKLYN Bar on the beachfront in Manly is definitely the go for music in my area. They’re bringing top-notch house and techno DJs from around Sydney to play in an underground basement monthly, which is mad to be a resident of. Catching Nima Gorji last month playing three sets in 20 hours at S.A.S.H’s long weekend was incredible – best music I’ve witnessed in Sydney, hands down.
