DJ TMC started DJing at the young and optimistic age of 15 and since then has continually progressed in terms of his DJ mixing abilities, scratch techniques and song collections.
He began DJing at every house party availible and became known for being ‘that dj’ at everyone’s 15th,16th,17th and 18th birthday parties which funded his home studio and presented him with more contacts and experience.
From ages 16-17 DJ TMC focused strictly on his mixing skills to prepare for the nightclub industry which was always a dream of his and eventually landed his first nightclub gig at the prime age of 18.
From here DJ TMC gained contacts within the nightclub industry and grew exponentially from there.
While exploding in the nightclub industry, DJ TMC has also been producing and releasing many blend/mash-up R&B/Hip-Hop mixtapes which go by the name of 'Bumpin Blendz'. These mixtapes are shared and loved all over the world from New Zealand to Germany, the U.S and more.
He has also released DJ Club friendly mixes “TMC Club Cuts” which appeal to DJ’s and music lovers alike.
In terms of genres, DJ TMC has mostly stuck to R&B/Hip-Hop where his passion lays, however being a flexible DJ, he has learnt to adapt to Melbournes House/Electro scene and from using vinyls at a very young age, he quickly and easily picked up the skills neccessary for mixing House & Electro and now is regularly called to play at both R&B and House nightclubs.
In addition to DJ TMC's DJ skills, he also been interested in the areas of song composition, instrumental production and collaborations. He has worked with many MC's and singers and loves to create an original track when he’s not behind the decks.
In 2009 DJ TMC ventured across the globe to study and experienced many cultural differences in Mexico. The trip was for 6 months and in that time he was DJing at the top clubs there (Ananna, Azulic + more) weekly which gave him an international DJ recognition and experience like no other.
Right now DJ TMC is mixing at Melbourne’s top nightclubs and is constantly bringing a crowd, jamming out new remixes and staying on top of the R&B club industry and won’t look to stop anytime soon.. visit www.djtmc.com for more info!
Fluke is one of the few DJs in Australia that does not need any introduction. Having played across Australia and overseas, Fluke is one of the few Australian DJs to make their mark abroad and held a 6 month residency at the world famous Zouk nightclub in Malaysia launching the clubs flagship night “Ghetto Heaven”. Currently a resident at Melbourne’s largest nightspots “Eve” & “Alumbra”, Fluke plays to a full house crowd every week spinning the latest and greatest Electro, Hip Hop, Rnb & Mash ups.
Known infamously for leading the way in Australia in the mixtape game, not many people could say that they have never owned a Fluke mixtape locally. When international artists hit town, Fluke is the logical DJ of choice to play at their gigs having been Ja Rule, Ashanti & Benzino’s personal DJ whilst they stayed in Melbourne. Adding to the list of internationally known artists, Fluke has played for The Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Rowland, Jason Derulo, Chad Hugo, Dru Hill, 112, Montell Jordan, Kurupt, Techn9ne, Luniz, De La Soul, Naughty by Nature, Jagged Edge, Horace Brown, The Jabbawockeez, Stan Walker, Chrissy Chau, Jin & Fatman Scoop to name a few.
