DJ Abstrackt

About Me

DJ Abstrackt clearly has problems with his sexuality since he's been struggling for so long to actually come up with something good musically. His inability to demonstrate any coherence in the music he produces has led many people to believe that DJ Abstrackt is nothing but a deranged stoner with the occasional access to a laptop, a fridge, and maybe a toilet. DJ Abstrackt employs Melbourne's dreary weather and combines it with his ill-tempered sexual prowess to produce enigmatic electro tunes with no real substance, abstract harmonies, bizzare melodies and simplistic bass lines. DJ Abstrackt demonstrates an extreme lack of musical sensibility in his work thanks to the constant discouragement he receives from long-time companion and touretts-syndrome enthusiast DJ Anxiety. Why would anyone listen to this? Beats me..
