Matt Drake

At 21 years of Age Matt Drake seems to be pulling the right strings. As a "qualified party starter" and a creator of good vibes matt is known by his love for EDM and his passion for standing behind those turning circles, whatever the time may be.

Within the past 12 to 18 months Matt has bloomed quite considerably proving his versatility as a house music DJ, claiming residencies at North Wollongong Pub and OneFiveOne, each venue with demand for DJs at opposing ends of the house music spectrum. 

His involvement with house music industry has seen him spinning tunes supporting no only THMs parties but Harrison Moores Veuve Party @ The Bar Next Door to Samuels in Thirroul, Cav Smith's Sun Dazed Sundays on Oxford St, Syd and also the most recent Lair Lyf Fridays hosted by The Sideways DJs @ Towradgi Beach Hotel. He has also said to be seen sharing the faders with close friend Nick Lynar at The Five Islands Brew Co, a classy venue on the south-eastern side of Wollongongs CBD

Weather he is create digging at the brewery with Nick Lynar or playing under his other Alias "Dopamine" with James Benning he still loves and lives for playing house parties. He says "I still find a good old fashion house party kicks way harder than any club/pub"

Uk House, G-House and Deep House is what Matt enjoys most but also loves to play a bit of nu-disco, jazz and funk.

Weapon Of Choice

"I learnt mixing on some old school decks I bought that had no bpm reader. Now if I play anywhere, my favourite bit of gear is the pioneer ddjsx midi controller. Some say it isn’t real djaying, but I say move with the technology. I’m more than capable on CDJs but the midi controller acts like the cdj 2000s but has sampling pads and more effects that add an extra element to my performance. Turning djing into something a little more than just beatmatching."
