JAMES BROOKE // Prog, tech, trance, drum & bass...
James Brooke’s interest in dance music was spiked at the mere age of 12. Previously immersed in more alternative sounds, his older sister exposed him to a different style of music. BT ‘Movement in Still Life”, Prodigy “Fat of the Land”, and Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto were on constant rotation at home. Once hearing this, James was hooked.
At age 16 he sold his bass guitar, left the band he was involved in and went out and purchased some decks and a mixer and taught himself how to mix.
Inspired by local gun’s Phil K and Nubreed, James initial genre of choice was breaks. However, feeling the urge to take his tastes and sets further, he started exploring many other genres and styles. He discovered he loved them all. Not content to pigeonhole himself into one box, James is now a very versatile DJ. Progressive, trance, psy and techno are mixed seamlessly together, making sure even the most fickle crowds are kept entertained and rocking.
The last two years have seen James arrival into the Melbourne dance scene. Rocking many of Melbourne’s top nightclubs such as Room680, Brown Alley, Circus, Viper Room, Chasers, 3D and many more. He has supported international DJ’s Tiesto, Christopher Lawrence, Tenishia, Kuffdam and Chewn. He has appeared at Earthcore, Tickled Pink, Neon Electrik and Mapleheads. A regular at Interview, Stargarden and Kiss FM and also a favourite on Joy FM’s weekly Saturday night dance show “Vinylizm”. This young talent is really beginning to establish himself as one of the local scene’s gems.
James is without a doubt a crowd pleaser, intuitively knowing and reading the crowd is his specialty. He always seems to know what tracks to play that will keep the dance floor entertained. Smiling faces, dancing feet and head’s bumping, no chin strokers to be seen.
At the start of 2008 James started his own record label called 405 Recordings. It has already gained the support of many local and international dj’s, with names on the label such as, Bart Claessen, Bas & Ram, Maarten De Jong, Roy Gates, as well as local guns, Dave Stroud, Wavemotion and Marsh. Keep a close eye on this label as it is destined to do great things, the coming months should see a plethora of new talent added to the label.

JED // Prog, tech, uplifting trance...
From beautiful uplifting melodies to dirty, static, techy basslines, the constant fusion of uplifting and tech-trance sounds that eminate from young Melbourne DJ Jed inject an exciting energy and enthusiasm into every set. Predominately found either behind the decks or on the dancefloor at Melbournes most popular monthly trance night - Interview - Jed has churned out live trance sets since early 2007 that have quickly established a bright and energetic future for the young DJ.
Beginning his love affair with the dance music scene back on New Years Eve 2002, Jed found himself awestruck at the majestic, neon world of electronic dance music, experiencing an inspiration he’d never felt before. From here he found a lifelong solace in the world of dance music, drawing himself primarily to the trance sound that would see him spend the next four years attending some of the biggest trance events in the country.
As the honeymoon began to offer more and more to the young clubber, Jed decided to open a new chapter in enjoying his underground music by attempting the world of DJing. The layered synths and pads of uplifting trance tied with powerful bassline kicks that took control of that faithful New Years Eve night helped ignite Jed's final passion to be a DJ and give back to the dance music scene that had given him so much over the years. Ensuring the crowd have as much fun as he does, the down-to-earth, friendly kid focuses on the affect of the music he plays, stirring emotions, stealing breaths away and leaving smiles on faces whilst having a blast in the process.
Dedicating a lot of time and practice to perfecting his skills, Jed’s debut at Interview vs. Push in March 2007 left the crowd pleading for another taste and since then Jed has played out to fans and friends alike at Brown Alley, Tilt, 3D, Roxanne Parlour and Metro Nightclub in Melbourne. He has spun at trance nights with internationals such as Marcel Woods, Tenisha, Mark Sherry, Wippenberg, Kuffdam and Scot Project and supported Interview residents Ben Evans, Mike Nichol, Steve Strangis, Blinky and alongside fellow DJ Denham Jay in a tech-trance duo that has gained a small but dedicated following in Melbournes trance scene.
Influenced by the enegetic and creative likes of Eddie Halliwell, the flawless track selection of John O'Callaghan and the unmistakeably genuine style of Armin van Buuren, Jed thrusts himself into spinning momentum to create hectic sets that stitch powerful bass, epic breakdowns and dirty synths together, creating an infectious and unique style exclusive to him.
This year for Christmas, Santa brought you TECHTRANCE. |
