DJ Katch (Resin Dogs/Hydrofunk)

For the past two decades, Brisbane’s DJ Katch has worked as a DJ and musician. His output over that time and his dedication to Hip Hop has resulted in him becoming a key figure in the Australian Hip Hop community through his life as a DJ, a member of band Resin Dogs, and running his label Hydrofunk Records.

Originally accompanying breakdance group B Boy All stars during World Expo ‘88 in Brisbane, it wasn’t long before Katch’s mixes were in demand outside of the breakdance scene. Distinctly aware of the lack of Hip Hop being played in and around Brisbane, he took up a weekly spot at the Brisbane community radio station 4ZzZ, establishing ‘Phat Tape’, a weekly radio show dedicated to Hip Hop. This program was the first of its kind in Brisbane and helped to introduce audiences to Hip Hop from the USA and UK, as well as offering exposure to the many underground Hip Hop acts operating throughout Australia.

In 1989, Katch took part in the annual DMC World DJ Championships in Queensland, winning the QLD title and holding it for a further two years. Retiring from the competition in 1991, he promoted a number of Hip Hop parties that year, events that would eventually lead to the formation of the label Hydrofunk Records. These parties were not only the first of their kind in Brisbane, but also brought together the four elements of Hip Hop in a glorious celebration of sound and culture.

At this point, Katch and his scratch DJ skills were becoming more widely recognised, he found himself being invited to perform and record for a number of iconic Australian bands including Regurgitator and Elevation. This spawned the early basis for Resin Dogs.

Having played supports for Kiwi act Fat Freddy’s Drop, Kora, Salmonella Dub, Shape Shifter, Questlove, Turntables on the Hudson’s Nicodemus, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born and performed at Good Vibrations Festivals, Elements Hip Hop party and the Red Bull Music Academy to name a few, Katch was recently asked to DJ at the store opening in Perth and Brisbane for international fashion label BALLY, producing special mix cds for the nights and performing a special DJ set for GOMA at the Queensland Art Gallery for the Picasso private collection exhibit.

A true legend in the DJ game, DJ Katch has not only been at the forefront of the Hip Hop and Turntablist scene since it first kicked off in Australia, but he has continued to lead the charge both as a DJ and a producer. If you want to know where cool, funky Hip Hop and Soul came from, where it is today and where it’s heading, DJ Katch is your man.
