Having performed at top venues/nights such as - PACHA, IBIZA (RELEASE YOURSELF, SUBLIMINAL SESSIONS, F**CK ME, IM FAMOUS/RENAISSANCE, PURE PACHA, DEFMIX 20TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY), MN2S PRE-PARTIES (IBIZA), HEDKANDI (SYDNEY), HOUSEXY (SYDNEY) and has supported ERICK MORRILLO, ROGER SANCHEZ, FRANKIE KNUCKLES, DERRICK CARTER, SIMON DUNMORE, LIQUID PEOPLE, PETE TONG, CHUCK LOVE, MATT CASELI, MISS KELLY MARIE, RON CARROLL to name but a few. He has forged a unique style that has gained him the respect of all those who hear him play.
He began DJ'ing 6 years ago, influenced by listening to the US House and Garage sound of legendary artists such as Masters At Work, Jay J and Miguel Migs. Hooked with the desire to recreate the sensual sounding grooves of these artists in his native Sydney, he was soon taken on as resident at Sugareef Nightclub - where he was soon warming up for the biggest names in the Sydney at the legendary night "French Dressing" - the most essential Tuesday night in Sydney clubland history. The night became a staple for Sydney's industry crowd, and Liam sunk his teeth in the scene playing weekly to the city's who's-sho, in this constantly road blocked night.
Liam's reputation behind the decks quickly grew, and his versatility led him to be the obvious choice to perform at the launch night of the much-celebrated Le Panic nightclub, where he played to a capacity crowd alongside Ibiza's legendary DJ JOSE PADILLA (Cafe Del Mar). He also became the DJ of choice at fashion industry parties for International fashion labels such as JATALI, DIESEL and GENERAL PANTS. His skills were making him in demand at the more sophisticated end of Sydney's clubs and bars.
Residencies at THE LOFT and CARGO soon followed, with regular appearances at the chic settings of venues such as TANK, CHERRIJAM, DRAGONFLY, HUGO'S LOUNGE, OPERA BAR, MARS LOUNGE, as well as inter-state performances at Melbourne's Premier House Nights "YUM YUM" and the "DEFECTED IN THE HOUSE" at the new ALUMBRA.
Any performance by Liam displays his passion and love for the style of music that he plays. This dedication has led to him being taken on as a Resident DJ for one of Australia's most successful house nights, SHE (Soulful House Experience), which has featured international guest headliners such as RON CARROLL (USA), GROOVE JUNKIES (USA - Om), RICHARD EARNSHAW (Soulfruic) performing alongside Sydney's top house DJ's. Liam is proud of his association with the SHE brand, and in his SHE performances has warmed the decks for such esteemed international talent as SPEN (USA), JAY-J (USA), BOBBY and STEVE (Garage City), KARIZMA (Defected Records), ANDY WARD AKA SOUL CENTRAL (UK - Soul Heaven), MATT CASELI (Pacha Ibiza), ROBERT OWENS (UK), PAUL FARRIS (Defected UK). Such was the skill of his warm up for Top-10 ARIA selling artist SOUL CENTRAL at SHE's rooftop party in January 2006, Sampras was the obvious choice to take to the decks at the after party - at the world-renowned Tank Nightclub (voted top-8 venues in at the 2004/5 Global House Music Awards).
In addition to his involvement with SHE, Liam's other high-profile residency is at the New York influenced soulful house night "K-Life", every Friday at Mars Lounge. As weekly resident, Liam has used this opportunity to further nurture his smooth style of house music to an educated house crowd, and his adaptability behind the decks has resulted in him playing warm-up, peak-time and closing sets to an increasingly loyal following. The night has seen him playing alongside the world's best -including BOBBY and STEVE (UK - Soul Heaven/ Garage City), and GROOVE ASSASSIN (Pacha Ibiza), AUDIOWHORES (SOULFURIC UK) and SAMBA LA CASA (UK)
In 2007, Liam continues his dedication to the funky soulful house sound that he loves - with performances scheduled at SHE, PACHA (Sydney & Funky Room Ibiza), HEDKANDI PARTIES, THE ARTHOUSE, THE ARGYLE, HOUSEXY, SOUL HEAVEN and weekly residencies and guest spots. His involvement as a DJ for the fashion industry will continue, as well as studio work scheduled in partnership with Australia's Defected in the House resident, GRAHAM CORDERY. The natural step for this established Sydney DJ is for further international/intersate appearances throughout 2007.
