DJ TA$K

Tell us a little about yourself...  "I'm the owner of Absolute Infinity. I started my DJing career during the late eighties in Adelaide & then moved to Sydney in 1990. Since then, i've spun tunes at some of the biggest venues & parties in Sydney! Clubs include The Bridgepoint @ Mosman, Limelight @ Sydney, Waves @ Wollongong, Club Patricks @ Pennant Hills & Club Troppo @ Gosford. Parties include Utopia, Helter Skelter & Hyperspeed".

What's your most embarrassing moment? "Ha-ha... There has been too many to say but maybe doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers dynamic one Friday night @ BIG in The Avalon Beach RSL, jumping off the podium, slipping on a drink and breaking my elbow (had to finish DJ'ing the night and then drive home!)".

What are your most memorable moments? "There's quite a few... 1. My first ever event... Wipeout Beach Party @ The Tou Can Tou in Adelaide in 1988 (scary) 2. Opening night of my first nightclub... Absolute Infinity in Adelaide in 1989 3. Other big opening nights that I have been involved with... BIG @ Avalon RSL & Mona Vale Hotels, EMPIRE @ The Woodport, The Ivanhoe @ Manly etc... 4. Doing big parties like Hyperspeed and Utopia... Always a blast! 5. DJ'ing alongside good friends and talented legends like Fenix, Chris Johns, John Alsop, Denis Duggan, David Brace, Myles Duggan, Pee Wee, Paul Holden, Scott Herman, Will Connors, Sarah Martin, Amber Savage, Tim Parish, Nick Skitz, Jimmy Z, Rob Brizzi, Eli Sullivan, Daniel Leverton, Nathan Johnson and the list goes on... You guys rock!!!"

What do you do in your spare time? "1. Overseas holidays with someone cute (when I can afford the time) 2. Going to the movies and watching DVD's 3. Long runs in the afternoon when it's not too hot 4. Hitting the beach or kickin' it in my boat 5. Open roads with the roof down in my Boxter with no police around."

Hates... "1. Cold weather 2. People who butt into your life because their own one is so boring  3. Tax bills 4. Narrow minded people with bad attitudes 5. Psycho ex-girlfriends..."

Any tracks you dislike playing? "...1. "Mambo Number 5" by Lou Bega 2. "Coco Jambo" by Mr President 3. "The Macarena" by everybody that did a version 4. "The Bus Stop" by Fatback 5. Any R'n'B track that puts me to sleep (well... that would be most of them!)..."

Who inspires you as a DJ? "In no particular order...Fenix, Paul Holden, Nick Skitz, Fatboy Slim,  Pee Wee."
