T.D.SHAGGA: Through his psychotic Somatica events, Darren Whyte has been a key player in cultivating Melbourne's underground psychedelic scene and has been a fixture in the Melbourne dj community for the past eight years, during which time he has proven himself as one of the more adaptable and original DJs around. Dirty breaks maestro, Old Skool FUNK afficionado and a miriad of other pigeon holeing styles. To experience Shaggas' sets is to explore the realm of psychedelic and funky sound waves. With early exposure playing for crews such as Nocturnal & Peak, Shagga quickly found his niche in the Melbourne scene, and has appeared numerous times at all the major festivals around Australia, such as Earthcore, Rainbow Serpent Festival, Bushweek, Cairns Winter Solstice, Wide Open Spaces, Earth FreQ, Tribeadelic, Superfreak & Freakreation, Audiogasm, Royal Doof & Maitreya as well as countless other gigs around Melbourne & Victoria.T.D.
