About Me

Beniii/Tech:One is determined to make a name for himself through his DJ sets and Productions, pushing himself to new levels and always progressing.

At a young age I loved the way that DJ’s could manipulate music and dance floors. I always had a keen passion for music, drumming through my early days. When I was introduced to a pair of Technics 1200s I was hooked, I started collecting vinyl before I even owned decks.

I started mixing/scratching in around early 2002, playing around with my new found love for music and the technical aspects of sound. It all took a sharp upturn when I moved to Melbourne in 2004 and saw some of the best really rip it up. I was the one hassling the DJ’s for track names and tips (thanks LCK/Soul-T). It inspired me to explore different styles, Hardstyle and the Melbourne shuffle being some of the drawcards that quickly drew me in.

Now living in Brisbane, a scene that is small but contains a good mix of styles and personalities. Lately, i have really started focusing on my music production. I’m finding it hard to focus too much on one sound, I like to make music inspired by the thoughts I have at that time.  One day I hope to have a large palette of my own original work, to play large sets/journeys.

My music style can vary from melodic/progressive house all the up to deep driving Hardstyle. My main goal is to be different, and to be myself. I want each of my mixes and tracks to represent my own defined unique sound. My influences include DJ Craze, DJ Dexter (brissy!), LCK, Soul-t, Mark Knight just to name a few. All these artists/DJs stand out to me as being individual, unique, enthusiastic and interact with thier fans after thier sets.
