As a multi-talented presence in QLD’s music landscape, Walker (Aust) resists genre-defining labels and channels the spirit of openness that was once the default in electronic music.
His artistic perspective comes from a life thoroughly lived, and his talent comes from an obsession in finding a way to express it.: “Music is always evolving, nothing stands still….And that’s exactly how I like it”.
Walker has played for iconic venues and established brands that are the backbone of the Australian dance music ecosystem. Elsewhere (Gold Coast), SASH (Brisbane & Sydney), Bodywork (Sydney), Dragonfruit (Brisbane), OneSixOne (Melbourne), Storyville (Melbourne), Method Project @ Sussudio (Sydney), Deep Cargo (Melbourne) and many more. A career that has spanned 15 years.
“My first loves will always be house, disco and techno, and that’s what I’ve become known for, but there’s much more freedom when we paint outside of the lines, and find a way to forge all of my tastes into the one cohesive groove-based set. Stripped back, groovy, quirky, vibrant, colourful attributes within the selections I make from my music collection. Most importantly, the tracks must have a feeling and some unique qualities. I am looking to deliver unique dance floor experiences. Most selections must have intention behind it. Most tracks are used for a specific purpose”.
Walker enjoys a DJ residency each month at his local social club, Elsewhere, and frequently visits other cities in Australia to keep a finger on the pulse across the Australian dance music scene. “Elsewhere is my favourite room and booth to play in the country. In my opinion, it is one of the top 5 clubs in Australia. Not many clubs sit in that top tier of club-royalty in Australia for consistent audiences, years of operation and music policy”. Elsewhere is a venue that Walker considers to be the Gold Coast creative hub where “My relationships, profile and creative brain are tickled each week”. Walker holds the relationships he has with his “teachers and mentors” in very high regard, having the opportunity to work with many legends of the national scene, since starting in 2010. His close mentorship with Audun (2013-2015) and Giv (2021 to 2025) at Elsewhere has been invaluable in learning the true art of the craft.
Notable supports: DJ Steaw (France), PACH (UK), Doorly (UK), DJ T (Berlin), Steve Bug (Germany), Roy Davis Jnr (Chicago), Hernan Cattaneo (Argentina), Sunshine (Melbourne), Jay Shepheard (London), Egbert (Netherlands), Jozif (London), Marcus Worgull (Köln), Riva Starr (London), Michael Mayer (Germany), Santé (Berlin), Little Fritter (Gold Coast), Philip Bader (Berlin) & and the Cocoon Heroes (Seth Troxler, Magda, Sven Vath & Ritchie Hawtin) at the Brisbane leg of the Future Music Festival 2013.
