Can you tell us a little about your electronic music journey so far? What artists initially got you hooked on electronic music? What do you enjoy about the Australian electronic music scene? When did you find your calling to be a producer? 
I started my electronic music journey in 1998 and for my birthday that year I got my first pair of turntables and a mixer. Every couple of weeks I would head into the city and buy the latest dance records to feed my vinyl addiction.
I was listening to Artist’s such as Paul Van Dyk, Underworld, Prodigy, Scot project, R.O.O.S, Lost Tribe, Dj Quicksilver, Three Drives and Delirium. By 1999 I was really getting into hard house and listening to artists such as BK, Nick Sentience, Praga Khan and Andy Farley.

Over the years of when I started my Journey I was part of many event companies within the Australian dance music culture where I was DJing and promoting such as Radio Dex, Powerhouse, Hard Kandy, 3D, Every Picture Tells A Story, Mindamaze, Future Entertainment, Overdrive, Rushn, Sydney Trance, Transience, Genesis, Masif, Bam Radio and Beatz.
I didn’t start producing music until 2016 – 17 where I joined forces with another local Producer named  Ryan O’Gorman and we called ourselves Genetixx. We were pretty much just doing Trance at this time.
We released about 12 Tracks, played on a dance music radio station in Melbourne called Kiss Fm and also represented Australia in a world trance artist event showcasing the best trance artists from each country on Trance Energy Radio.
From your latest releases, ‘Summer Love’ and ‘Vibe’, it seems you are heading down a unique path of sound that combines house and trance. How would you describe your direction right now? 
In 2019 I started up my own label – Nexus Fusion Records. From coming from a House & Trance background I developed a unique style which I put into my tracks combining these two genres and creating music that I love and I know that my fans will love as well.
What were your intentions behind ‘Summer Love’ and ‘Vibe`? 
My intentions behind my tracks ‘Summer Love’ and ‘Vibe’ was I was so excited for the festival feeling you get in the summer months and the vibes you feel so I decided to make a couple of tracks that would get you in the mood to embrace the feeling you would feel.
What do you feel is the responsibility of a DJ? 
I like to keep my music sounding fresh and uplifting with lots of energy.
So there you are, about to DJ in front of a 3000 person crowd with the best sound system known to mankind, what are the first 3 tracks you drop?  
If I was to play in front of a 3000 person crowd the first 3 tracks I would drop would be depending on lets say its a house / Trance set and its my music would be Vivid Sunset, Relax Your Thoughts & Optical Exposure.

A “never have I ever”, what is one thing you have never done that people would be surprised you have never done? 

One thing that I have never really done which a lot of people would find this to be surprising is that I have never travelled outside of Australia.
What are you aiming to accomplish next? 
I would however really like to accomplish next to play sets in other countries like America, Uk & Europe And I hope someone will book me over in those parts of the world, the parties look amazing.
Do you have any more releasing coming out soon? 
I have plenty more releases coming up over this year, I’m currently working on 2 new tracks which will be released over the next  2-3 months.
