About Me


AUCKLAND DRUM'N'BASS & DUBSTEP DJ.. (AMONG OTHER THINGS)
GRIND has forged an impressive reputation as a DRUM AND BASS DJ in Auckland, his ear for the music and turntable prowess showing through in one of the most notoriously difficult scenes to break into. Priding himself on forward thinking beats with soul, his style is a lesson in building a vibe and making people dance.
Once a flagship UP-FM DJ with his successful DIRT FUNK RADIO show, Grind originally cut his radio teeth on BASE FM covering in for CERN - but it is in the clubs where he feels most at home, having played all over the country - as far as Bath St in Dunedin and Subculture in Queenstown, and in support for the likes of ALIX PEREZ & LYNX, LTJ BUKEM & MC CONRAD, BLACK SUN EMPIRE, LOGISTICS, TC, PENDULUM, REDEYES, CONCORD DAWN, BULLETPROOF, THE UPBEATS & AGENT ALVIN.
GRIND has also cemented himself as one of NZ's champion DUBSTEP DJs, since appearing at the very first all-dubstep party in Auckland SUB RIOT. A regular fixture at all the massive gigs, he has earnt himself residency status at local night WHEEL and has smashed up big crowds for DIRTYCASH ENTERTAINMENT alongside heavyweight internationals BENGA, CASPA, DISTANCE, LOEFAH, MALA (DMZ), N-TYPE and PINCH.
His fresh take on the 138bpm sound has also seen him billed to play support for breaks superstars MEAT KATIE and TAYO, as well as exclusive dubstep sets for local club nights KINETIC and HYBRID, not to mention guest appearances on JASON HOWSON's infamous SILK CUTS radio show on GEORGE FM. With his arsenal of tunes ranging from the deep & dubwise to thugstep & wobble, he's not often beaten when it comes to selection, nor in the mix where he has a highly infectious energy. .
As a promoter GRIND has also been proud to bring you the following events:
