Claire Morgan



Claire Morgan

Claire is a vinyl junkie and music-maker who has spent the last decade gigging her way up and down the eastern seaboard of Australia and across the Pacific in New Caledonia. Establishing herself in Brisbane, she later moved to Sydney and then onto Melbourne and has held residencies, guested and headlined at most major clubs, parties and festivals in all three capital cities.

Claire graduated with a Masters degree at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, specialising in film scoring/composition. Outside of DJing she composes music for film and television and has written & produced everything from ambient electronic music through to orchestral scores. A remix on Melbourne's hAUL Music garnered favour and chart action from international luminaries and local DJs alike.

Both in the setup for an array of international house and techno elite or controlling the party at her own speed, Claire is a serious DJ, bringing an organic, soulful, melodic and groove-heavy heat to the party with her own unique selections and precision control at the mixer. To date, she has played with the biggest names on the planet, including Octave One, Carl Craig, Aril Brikha, Vince Watson, Efdemin, Fred P, Kirk Degiorgio, Rick Wilhite, Mathew Dear (Audion), Daniel Bell (DBX), Mathew Jonson, Derrick May, Miss Kittin and Joris Voorn.
Claire recently relocated to Berlin, where she has already started gigging locally and abroad in Czech Republic.




Paul Danger





My name is Paul Danger.
I like to play house by open fires, listen to techno whilst taking long walks on the beach and drink beer as I mix mnml.

DJ or Producer

DJ.


Describe Your Sound

I know this is a cliché but I enjoy almost everything, from heavy techno through to disco. My main requirements are that it has a good groove and makes you want to shake.


Where you play regularly

I currently play regularly at the Brewery and have been doing some guest spots at Samuel’s in Thirroul with the Laze crew this summer. Both gigs have been great and provided an opportunity to play a diverse mix of fun tunes. Beyond that I am really looking forward to playing at Too & Fro as part of the Laze crew! 
In the past I have been involved with Phantoms DJ’s and Head’s Up! who helped to bring an array of dance music talent to Wollongong including Lee Curtiss, Dyed Soundorom, Housemeister, DJedjotronic and Treasure Fingers.

Favourite Night Spot/Venue

I have been enjoying one22 in Sydney quite a bit over the last year or so. Chinese Laundry always books respectable acts also.
However it is always great to visit local parties and one offs to hear some great tunes and meet with likeminded people.


Weapon of choice.

I would say I am partial to Allen and Heath mixers, especially the Xone 92 which I find very nice to use. Apart from that anything goes; the medium through which you play the tunes doesn’t matter nearly as much as the tune selection itself. 


Some artists/tunes you’re into at the moment.

Boddika
Joy Orbison
Jensen Interceptor
Light Year
Lone
Blawan
Basically anything on R&S


… I could go on for some time.

Simon Caldwell


Simon Caldwell

Simon Caldwell is one of a handful of DJ's whose name adds a certain integrity to an event. Playing since the early 1990’s to beer drinkers, bum shakers and radio listeners alike, he has managed to avoid the stifling 'style' classification so many other DJ's trap themselves into, keeping himself free to draw on his varied loves of deep, soulful house, techno, funk, jazz, electro, booty, hip hop and anything else which catches his ear. Simon has supported a list of internationals longer than your arm, from James Brown to Grace Jones to Derrick Carter and Moodymann. He currently holds down Monday Sunset on FBI Radio, and is resident/co-promoter of Mad Racket, a Sydney underground party institution.

Lee M Kelsall


LEE M KELSALL BIO

“A lot of things have changed” says fast rising UK born, Australia based producer Lee M Kelsall. It was with ‘On the Road’ that LMK first got noticed though. He sent the track to Lee Foss for feedback but the Hot Creations hero quickly replied asking to sign the track to Hot Waves. The compilation featuring "On the Road" became a number one selling new release on Beatport and also led the legendary "Nervous Records" (NYC) scouting Lee M Kelsall and signing him on under their Management Worldwide.

LMK is now back working hard in the studio with future releases on Kerri Chandlers Madtech and Nervous Records (NYC) in 2013

LMK has recently DJ'ed across the World including everywhere from Sonar (Barcelona) to Hideout (Croatia), Ministry of Sound (Egypt) to Space (Ibiza) for Carl Cox....Of course not forgetting the Big UK Festivals such as Creamfields, Glade and Global Gathering

With his Sound in the Club, the same as in the Studio - LMK is not one to stick to a certain genre... expect anything from House, Disco and Garage slip in and out of this man’s sets.

As DJ support continues to pour in from the likes of Jamie Jones, DJ T, Maya Jane Coles, Solomun, Crazy P, Miguel Campbell, Lee Foss, David August and many more

Lee M Kelsall is officially one of the New School House Heroes.
