Bio:
"There was something about mixing two songs together that just did it for me!" Having started mixing at the very
tender age of 14, Sin would go to any length to get his hands on a pair of CD players and a mixer. Constant
complaining from family members and neighbours was not enough to keep this kid quiet, besides, music was his life!
Having entered many dj competitions, Sin soon realised that mixing in front of an audience was completely different to mixing at home. "I couldn't even press play on the cdj my hands were shaking so badly from nerves." Finally, his first real break came in the year 2000 when he won the biggest underage dj comp there was, Metro nightclubs! Winning this competition saw him claim a years worth of vinyl from central station records, this definately got his record collection off to a great start. 
At this stage of his career, Sin was playing funky vocal house with a bit of uplifting club trance, however this was
set to change when he hit the real scene soon after turning 18. "I walked into the club and could not believe the
sounds I was hearing, music I could never have dreamt of, it was love at first sound!" The music of course was Hard Trance. Soon after joining
Melbourne's club culture, Sin realised that it would not be as easy as he thought to get behind the decks of a packed
venue. "The first thing I used to do when I walked into any club was walk straight up to the dj booth and see who was
spinning, the majority of my night would be spent watching the dj's every move."
Coming to terms with the fact that every little boy and girl wanted decks from Santa, Sin started producing his own music as a means of doing something different, a way to avoid being labled as just a DJ. As much as he loved djing, he could never prepare himself for the joy that came from producing his own music. Luckily for Sin, his brother, who has been in a successful band for over 13 years, had a recording studio in their home. "I would spend night after night in the studio just working on track after track after track, just searching for that perfect melody, that perfect beat, the perfect song!" Sin finally got a chance to play some of his original tracks to a packed venue when Bubble Nightclub announced it would be hosting it's first ever DJ Competition in the search for it's newest resident! The crowd really responded as Sin started each of his sets in the competition with an original track each week, finally making it all the way to the finals of what would no doubt be a turning point in his career. "I couldn't believe it! Everthing I had ever dreamed and hoped for was going to be decided from one 30 minute set." Well the night came, and Sin won the competition which would soon open the door to everthing he's ever worked for. 
Six months down the track and DarkSin had been making the Bubble dance floors erupt week after week with his
tough, energetic and interactive style of mixing, as well as playing a style of music that you wouldn't hear too
often in Melbourne club land. "I was always into hard trance and hard dance, but when I got a taste of some proper hard style, and
saw the crowds responce to a set, I could not turn back, they absolutely loved it, and so did I!" DarkSin's
life took another major twist when he entered and won the Advent*jah 2005 Icon producers competion. This competition
meant that his original music had now been recognised as some of the best upcoming productions nation wide, and the prize not only
won him a chance to play the winning track to thousands of eager punters on the main stage of the Advent*jah festival, but he also got to meet producers such as
Steve Hill, Paul Glazby, Dave Lea, Scot Liberator & K90, just to name a few.
"I actually got my Overdrive record signed by Scot Project on that stage about 3 years ago, so the chance to be
up there on that same stage playing a song I produced myself, and to be surrounded by such international talent, was a sensational moment for me."
Now with international dj's and record labels such as Steve Hill's Masif, interested in hearing what this young gun
has too offer, the future has never looked brighter, and prospects for a life he has always dreamed of seem ever so
close, but at the same time too sureal to feel...

Track Reviews:
DJ ZANY -- Thugz
This is one of my favourite tracks to come out of this Dutch ledgend, DJ ZANY. It has some almost funny gangsta vocals just before the chorus, but once it kicks in you will see there is nothing gangsta about this track at all. Also featured on Decibell 2005 CD! |
HARDSTYLE WARRIORS -- Hardstyle Soldiers
Another track picked up overseas, this one verges on the border of cheesy, but still goes absolutely off! With a lovely beat and catchy vocals, you'll be singing along to this one in no time at all.

DJ ISAAC & DJ ZANY -- What You Need
Now you can't really go wrong when you've got 2 of the best working on it togethor! This track has a mixture of that phat DJ Isaac base line along with those crazy DJ Zany hardstyle melodies. Purchased straight of the shelf in Amsterdam, it's set to rock the dancefloors. |
