Brisbane’s hardest working party DJ; engineering all manner of social interaction in rooms big and small, Brisbane DJ Mr Sparkle seeks to create a convivial atmosphere through funky, soulful goodness and superbly spun tunes of gold.
Taking on any party situation, Mr. Sparkles’ backs himself with a lifetime of interaction with music, calling on influences such as a music teaching mum, early years of soul and funk immersion and roller skating discos, through to the Manchester sounds of the 90′s, acid jazz and old school hip hop. All the while incubating an interest in the emerging rave, house and club DJ sounds of the time. For over ten years, Mr Sparkle has been a mainstay at the best of Brisbane DJ club rotations, taking on The Met, Zuri, The Family, Press Club, The Wickham, Uber, GPO, Main Squeeze, Monastery and Jorge amongst many others.
Then in the warmer months, Sparkles fills his days with outings such as Summerfieldayze, the legendary BBQ Breaks, Future Music Festival, Parklife and the like, performing as a Brisbane DJ and also under various guises, including DUBS… the Down Under Beatmasters, his live band collective incorporating some of Brisbane’s all star musicians.
