About Me

The gauge breakers is made up of DJ's LT (Miles Carrick) and Damn Right (Dan Wright) alongside Senõr Carlos (Carl Swaab) on percussion with Fidel Cathro (Catherine Alcorn) on vocals. Fidel Cathro is also responsible for the original lyrical and melodical content she wails over our tracks.

They play a unique mix of deep funky house, electro and uplifting progressive house. What they like to call: "Progressive Electro Funk".

Alternating track for track the two DJ's keep the the sound evolving and the crowd guessing what's next every time they play. Combine this with one mad man on congo's, bongo's and a djembe AND one seriously kick ass vocalist - and you have the gauge breakers.

Between them having already rocked venues such as Home, the Arthouse, YU, Favela, Q-Bar, Trademark, Havana, Chinese Laundry, Moulin Rouge, Mass (QLD), the Greenwood, Candy's Apartment, the Argyle, Cargo Bar, Plantation, The Fringe Bar, Ceruti's, Gas, Mandalay room, Level Three at the Blackett Hotel, World Bar, Burdekin Hotel, Cohi Bar, Scary Canary, Bondi FM, Pulseradio and several warehouses around Sydney you can work out for yourself that they have what it takes to play a quality set and keep the dance floor rockin'!

The LT had his first gig at the age of 12 playing cassette tapes over the school PA system for fund raisers. This triggered a keen interest that developed all the way through school and lead to the purchasing of his first pair of (belt driven) turntables in high school. Many records and countless hours later - the fine tuning of skills, style and track selection has come to fruition with the gauge breakers.

Damn Right took up the art of djing seriously in 2002 after going to many clubs and festivals, watching other dj's do their thing. Spending more time each week practicing than going to his day job he soon became confident in what he could offer the dance floor. After only a few years djing he has learnt what's needed to make everyone have a really good time, and that good time has now manifested into gauge breakers.

Senõr Carlos is said to be a black man trapped in a white mans body, playing his drums with rhythmic precision and flair. He can be found roaming the night club with his djembe strapped to his chest, interacting with the crowd to take the live experience to another level. His experience with the drums goes back over 12 years to when he started playing a drum kit in high school. He has since gone on to master other types of drums & percussion to add to his knowledge and skill base.

Fidel Cathro was born in Sydney, Australia and has been singing live and recording around the world for over 6 years, collaborating with producers and live bands such as Vitreous Records,Eye On The Wall Productions and her own brother/sister acoustic originals duo,CatherineJames. Having her fingers in so many musical pies highlights Catherine’s love for musical diversity and appreciation of all genres.Since 2005, Catherine has been working with UK Producer Ben Ridely, Managing director of Eye on the Wall Recordings and Vitreous Records. Together, the pair are working towards the release of EOTW’s EP to be released later this year.
