Producer or DJ or Both?

My Sound

Basically anything House, from Jacking/Funky through to Deep Atmospheric, and Groovy Tech…

Hard to say, I haven’t had a good chance to really explore the Melbourne nightlife, but it’s hard to pass up a trip to Cookie or Revolver, particularly on a Sunday!

Ezequiel, Sydney/Brazil (Significant Others)




Ezequiel

Producer or DJ or Both?

Mainly Dj, but I`ve been producing some noises not yet ready to be released.

My Sound 

Everything between house, techno, electronica and rock(!?)

Where I regularly play, or have played

I`m regularly playing at my night called "Significant Others" at Burdekin Bar, Oxford St Sydney.

Favourite Night spot / Venue

Hm, Im gonna say that I like the burdekin, The staff there are just amazing people to work with.
I also like The Abercrombie (saturdays - Strange Fruit) they have a great sound system. Sydney isn`t really a city of venues, is more about following different crews doing events in different venues.

Weapon of Choice

Mainly Cdjs, sometimes Turntables sometimes Traktor.

Label

I have my crew behind the "Significant Others", Avante, which is now family with the Smash Bang Records with our good brother Timmus

next event on the 28th september

Sam Arellano, Wollongong (VILLA, SNEAK)


Producer or DJ or Both?

Dj/Liveact


My Sound

I would say my sound, or the sound that i push, would be more abstract and driving, taking you on a journey 

Where I regularly play, or have played

You can catch me playing most times @ either  VILLA (Wollongong), SNEAK (Wollongong) and on occasions @ 151 (Wollongong), SASH (Sydney), Seasoned Music (Sydney) 

My Favourite Night spot / Venue


Weapon of Choice

I use my Macbook, which has Ableton and Serato running as my music folders. Allen&Heath XONE:K2 which is my main controller, korg synthesizer kaossilator and a AKAI LPD8 midi.


Label

Villa, Sneak

Events/Club Nights I Organise or am involved with

For the past year i have been running Wollongong's only After hours/weeknight techno parties, VILLA. They have been awesome! giving people down here the variety to go out during the week to a unused venue with no bull crap. Just good tunes!

Coming up for this summer will be of course villa, but also another new party, sneak!. Sneak is formed from myself and good friends from laze, another great party down here in the gong!!! Some solid acts lined up for both parties, so keep your eyes out kiddies good sounds from both party labels :)


Some Artists/Tunes im into at the moment.

To give you 3, I would have to say Kollektive Turmstrasse, Nicole Moudaber & Extrawelt. All 3 are pushing out really, really good new music.
