Hey man.
I used to hold a residency at Home Nightclub in Sydney at their event called Sublime back in the day. Also used to DJ up Oxford St, The Cross, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Christchurch, Queenstown and even had a gig over in Thailand once.
I started out with really old Denon dual deck CD players and first learned how to mix house/pop. I then transitioned to vinyl and found my love in mixing Progressive and Uplifting Trance. Made the transition back over to the Pioneer CDJ-1000MKIII's purely for convenience and have never really looked back. Since then, I have a daughter and really don't mix much out live anymore, but still keep in touch with the scene by recording my 2 running radio shows and mix on a Pioneer DDJ-S1 controller.
Lately I have really prefered mixing a blend of Tech-House/Progressive House/Techno and still dabble in some Trance which I hold close to my heart.
