DJ Gavan Bright

This week’s mixup comes to you from the family Kitchen table in Laidley Queensland, the set was mixed up while my mother had left the house – This was an epic trial and error mixing up under such conditions. Meanwhile, here’s what’s this DJ came up with, as always this is a first take, no stopping and fixing errors. This is a RAW set. I hope you like the mix and what I think it takes to sound different from the pack.

ARIA Chart DJ / Club DJ 1987 - 2004 Various venues nationally. Previous Residencies

Gavan fell into DJ’ing in 1987 when the owner of the Unicorn Hotel (syd) threw him behind the decks because the resident DJ didn’t turn up. From humble beginning playing to mostly the leather community at the Unicorn Hotel and the Balmain Town Hall hotel his career now spans three decades with a formidable cluster of residencies including Stonewall Hotel, The Oxford Hotel, Gilligans cocktail bar, The Midnight Shift, Beachamp Hotel, Beresford Hotel, The Taxi Club to name but a few.

His journey has seen him play across the country supporting numerous tours (The Trade Australian tour) and helping to cement major festivals (Tropical Fruits 1996­2004) and those special sell out parties that only history remembers such as headlining with his old mate Les Smith for Two Dog’s legendary Wet Dreaming parties (Byron Bay). As a long time ARIA chart DJ and judge for the ARIA awards (dance category) he was at the helm of his own record label CD Pool and Clevage which was a dance music importer selling directly to the cutting edge local digital Disc Jockey market.

His presence has been strong, regularly playing at the country's most Gay parties. His been there since the very beginning and continues to wow audiences with his vocal house mixed sets at events such as Hand in Hand 2000, Frisky (Syd). Sydney Mardi Gras (Royal Hall of Industries) 2000 + 2002 (Horden Pavilion), Inquisition X 2002 (Horden Pavilion), Pride (Syd Royal Hall of Industries) 1996, 1998 + 2000.
