May 04, 2019 Jam & Spoon Tribute Mix
This is the first of three Tribute Mixes from three of my absolute favourite artists (apart from Madonna of course)...

Jam & Spoon, the German-based electronic music duo, pretty much reinvented a concept sound I dubbed "Flamenco Techno" and have been a major influence on my music career.

Hear THIS! My 21-track Tripomatic Fairytale feast for your audio senses!
Over 2-hours of classic tracks and remixes.

Peace, love & tunes
From Magnus.

February 07, 2019 Pet Shop Boys / Ambient Tribute Mix
To coincide with the worldwide release of the Pet Shop Boys Agenda EP, I (finally) decided to compile a blend of some of my all time fave tracks from the UK synth-pop duo, who for the past 30years have been an inspiration to my life, both musically & personally. From "Please" to "Super" the challenge was choosing one track from each of their thirteen albums, and then deciding on a Remix that would "fit" in the mix, so to speak. I hope you enjoy "further listening" to this as much as I did creating it! Magnus.

September 01, 2018 Rebel Heart Reworked
Amid the mass leak from the Material Girl’s 13th album in late 2014, albeit 32 tracks in total, she released the album for pre-order on iTunes on December 20th, with 6 tracks being available for download.

Rebel Heart was co-written & co-produced with Diplo, Kanye West & the late Avicii. Thematically, Rebel Heart represents the singer's romantic and rebellious sides; the ideas grew organically during the writing and recording sessions. Musically, it is a pop record which merges an array of genres such as 90’s house, trap, and reggae, while using acoustic guitars and gospel choir. Some of the songs are autobiographical in nature while others talk about love and Her career.

To promote the album, Madonna made several television appearances and performances. Further promotion was done by the Rebel Heart Tour, which started in September 2015 & concluded in March 2016, visiting North America, Europe, Asia & Australia, including Her unique MTV-unplugged-style “Tears of a Clown” performance in Melbourne, which I was fortunate enough to see!

I’ve chosen 13 tracks from the album, including the 4 single releases & one extra-funky mashup.

So, to all my Rebel Hearts thank YOU from the bottom of MY Rebel Heart for listening & loving my Reworked series! It’s been an absolute joy to bring them to you. As always, it’s mixed & made with love, so enjoy MY gift to you, on this my 48th Birthday!

June 30, 2018 Like A Virgin Reworked
This "Like A Virgin" mix is the twelfth in a monthly series of Madonna album reworks.

I've chosen all nine album tracks, all unmixed, plus the bonus "Into The Groove" track that was included on the 1985 re-release edition.

Madonna wanted to be the record's producer, however her label was not ready to give her the artistic freedom she desired, so she chose Nile Rodgers due to his work with Chic and David Bowie.

The cover sleeve and images were shot by Steven Miesel, who would become a regular collaborator with her. The Virgin Mary or the whore? These were the two extreme images of women she had known vividly, and remembered from her childhood. To quote the Queen...

"The (cover) photo was a statement of independence, if you wanna be a virgin, you are welcome. But if you wanna be a whore, it's your fucking right to be so."

So to all my Rebel Heart Material Girls, Virgins & Angels...it's compiled & made with love, so enjoy! Magnus.

May 31, 2018 Her First Reworked
This "Madonna" mix is the eleventh in a monthly series of Her album reworks.

Produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez, Mark Kamins & the late Reggie Lucas, and recorded between May 1982 & April 1983, including five singles (three Top 10 hits), the album has an upbeat synthetic disco sound, using new technology of the time, including the Linn drum machine, Moog bass & Oberheim OB-X synthesiser.

I've chosen all eight tracks & really tried to re-capture the original recordings, with some of my fave M-Remixers, giving it my 35th anniversary take on this quintessential release.

So to all my Rebel Hearts, and as always, it's mixed & made with love, so enjoy!

About DJ MAGNUS

From the publisher's feed

Melbourne-born and bred, DJ Magnus clearly communicates an infectious passion for music through the decks. If you missed his debut gig at Cairns Tropical Pride in 2007, he may well have had you…

sweating it out at Big Gay Day (Brisbane), I Remember House (Sydney / Melbs), Midsumma T-Dance (Melbourne), CoastOut (Coffs Harbour), ChillOut (Daylesford), Christchurch Pride (NZ), Rebel Bar (Melbs / Sydney), Broken Heel Festival (Broken Hill), Geelong Rainbow Festival, Tropical Fruits Festival (Lismore), or at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras AfterParty.

His signature sound of uplifting vocal House and an instinct for reading a crowd whilst delivering goosebumps on the dance floor, have earned him a respected place as one of Australia's finest House music DJs / LGBTQIA+ artists. However, he also shows fantastic versatility by playing genres Chill, Deep House, Progressive, and Trance.

He's held residencies all over Australia, including The Wickham / White Wolf (Brisbane), Daywash / Hot Kandi / ARQ / The Colombian (Sydney), Rock City / Sircuit / The GH / Sundaylicious, Viper Room, The Peel (Melbourne), and Flamingos (Hobart), and more recently The Met / Levee Bar / Beats On Tap (Lismore).

DJ Magnus has also supported many local & International acts including Heather Small (M People), Paul Mac, Kelly Rowland, Wynter Gordon & played alongside DJs Seamus Haji, eSQUIRE, Jolyon Petch, Dani Toro and Wayne G to name a few.

His online mixsets consistently rank in the Top 10 on podomatic.com, holding the #1 position countless times!

On Australia Day 2017, he hosted his very first fundraising event for Black Dog Institute (raising $8K), launched a successful weekly Sunday Session called "SHAG" with well-known Melbourne DJ "Queen Martine", and joined a brand new LGBTQIA+ Superclub called "PLAY Fridays" as resident DJ and Musical Director.

In 2018, he soared to new heights with his very first "AURAL" Trance event on NYD, with a series of follow-up parties, plus their new "FunHouse" events (Melbs, Hobart, Lismore), collaborating on both of these with fellow Melbourne DJ Damien Mack.

But the real highlight of his career so far that same year, was his signing to boutique studio Melodic Music as a singer/songwriter and producer. He wrote, sung, co-produced, and officially released his original debut single called "Until I..." on iTunes worldwide on November 29th, followed shortly by two official remixes.

In 2019, he debuted at the 30th anniversary of the Tropical Fruits Festival, added four LIVE performances of "Until I..." included opening the Midsumma T-Dance in front of an estimated crowd of 100,000 people !!!

He launched the annual Pool Party for Tropical Fruits on NYD 2020, and was equally excited to provide the music for the "Colours of Our Community" float in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade in March.

In 2020 he relocated to Lismore to be involved with the Tropical Fruits organisation, and local community volunteering. He was voted onto the Fruits committee and was responsible for their socials, setting up their monthly live streams and the regular "Fruity Fridays" events.

With regular monthly gigs, he's established himself as a much sought-after local performer and valued community member.

As always,
Peace, love & tunes.
