About Me

DJ Dust
The newest resident to join the Elementz crew, DJ Dust has been making waves in the Melbourne scene for a few years now.

Humble beginnings playing monthly at Black Cat and occasionally at the Lounge and her flawless and highly technical approach to mixing led to Dust supporting some of the biggest names to grace our shores including Storm, Marcus Intalex, Doc Scott, Calibre, Klute, Grooverider, High Contrast, Shy FX, Craze, Dynamite, Ed Rush and Optical, Dom and Roland, Calyx, Hype, Black Sun Empire and Teebee.

Her consistency was rewarded with worldwide recognition by the organisations Junglist Sistaz and Hardstep Sistaz, inclusion into the mighty Elementz Sound collective and so many regular bookings that she was titled "Melbourne's First Lady of Drum and Bass" in a gig write-up.

More recently Dust has taken over promoting Elementz Sound Collective's international tours with Joe Seven and has successfully run gigs for Klute, Storm, Calibre & Mark Pritchard, Doc Scott & Marcus Intalex and she also promotes s local d'n'b night Strictly at Alia Bar in Fitzroy.
Dust's repertoire doesn't stop at just DnB, extending herself with versatility into Hip Hop and Breaks sets at various events and current residencies at Ume Bar and Workhsop.

Note: Please don't ask me to add you as a friend unless you have a legitimate reason for wanting to be my friend, such as common interest in music etc. Or at least send me a message. If you are just some random wanting to up your friend count or promote your shitty band then you will feel the wrath of my DENY button. Thank you
