February 27, 2016 Chicane in the Mix
It's been nearly 20 years since British composer, songwriter & producer Nicholas Bracegirdle aka Chicane first emerged on the Electronic dance music scene with his signature sound of atmospheric, ambient melodies and shifting moods of uplifting trance. Heavily influenced by Jean Michel Jarre & Vangelis, he has also been a massive influence & inspiration to my musical career, ever since I first saw him perform as support act to Paul Oakenfold in Melbourne in the mid-90s.

Opening with his debut "Offshore" & taking you through 20 classics over 2-hours of blissful balearic beats, finally culminating with one of my all-time faves "Middledistancerunner" I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I have putting it together as a tribute to one of the best! As always, enjoy. Magnus

September 01, 2014 Soul Deep
Soul Deep is a 'current mood' collection of some of my all-time fave "choons" given the deep house treatment. The word 'meraki' means to do something with soul, creativity or love & this most probably best describes my new mix. Opening with "Last Night", a rework of the classic song that uses some familiar vocal sampling to tell a story of true love found in the club, you'll also find a few surprise remixes of some well-known dance anthems, building into massive stomping drops and fading into sombre yet soulful breaks, including the likes of Sia, Florence & The Machine and Alison Limerick. Music for the soul, enjoy! Magnus.

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.
