DJ Reelax

Reelax is without question one of the most respected, knowledgeable, talented and hard working figures in Adelaide's dance music scene. He has combined regular local club gigs with interstate and overseas bookings in addition to maintaining his position at the forefront of dance music related media. From Monday to Sunday the man has his head in music. He is committed to the ever rapidly expanding Dance Music Art Form with this being apparent in his ever bustling schedule.
Reelax makes an effort to find music he is passionate about. This was recognised by the movers and groovers of Adelaide's radio waves, Fresh FM, with them asking him to present a number of shows. This has given their audience the unique opportunity to experience his funked up style.
Most notable of the many shows he presents on the station is his Friday night tastemaker, 'Release', which airs weekly and is responsible for bringing the successful sounds of the world's dance music scene to Adelaide often long before they are proven winners.
Success it seems is something thing that REELAX is becoming ever increasingly familiar with, as his rise to prominence and most wanted status has been swift, even by dance music standards. REELAX's first alliance with decks came in 1998 at Adelaide's 'Lizard Lounge' where he burst onto the Adelaide Club scene going on to win the South Australian DMA award Rookie / Up and Coming DJ of the Year (SA '98 - 99'). The awards have continued to flow in with Reelax scooping SA DMA DJ of the Year awards ('99 & 00') and ('00 & 01') as well. And in 2002 the accolades came on a national scale with the 2002 National DMA Award for DJ of the Year (SA) being added to the already crowded shelf space.
Since his unrivalled and explosive start REELAX has played in just about every venue in South Australia and has had residencies at many of Adelaide's most important club nights. His popularity and ability to constantly inspire a dancefloor has lead to his name being included on many of the large international parties travelling around Australia such as Ministry of Sound and Gatecrasher as well as major local calendar events such as Stardust and Strange Days. Warming up dance floors for international dons such as Carl Cox, Anthony Pappa, Ashley Casselle, James Zabelia, Tayo, Ferry Corsten, Ian Pooley, Miguel Migs, Paul Johnson, as well as Australian superstars like GT, Andy Van, Phil K, Reelax has well established himself as a future hero.
Reelax's appeal has not been limited to just Australian audiences. Last year he was invited to play at a number of parties throughout Asia and across Europe, being invited back to play in 2007. Requests have piled in from countries as far ranging as Ibiza, England, Germany, Japan and Singapore with the highlight no doubt being his appearance at the upcoming Berlin Love Parade.
Musically, Reelax's tastes vary far and wide but his passion lies within the more progressive sounds found throughout the broad spectrum that is dance music. However, not wanting to be pigeon holed, Reelax can also be found spinning deep, funky house sounds to many a packed dance floor. Taking elements anywhere from US house, breakbeat, and progressive house and beyond Reelax's style is one that appeals to those who like electro emotion, hypnotic grooves but most of all those who still want it as funky-as-a-monkey.
