Moto

Ask DJ Moto what makes him one of the country’s most respected DJs and his answer is simply, “please ask the audience.” No boasting and no sign of ego from one of hip-hop and R&B’s hardest working advocates whose career has spanned the entire Pacific region. In the opinion of music industry insiders, fellow DJs across all genres, and teenagers and clubgoers across the nation, DJ Moto is renown for building the area’s hip-hop and R&B scene into the force it is today.

Originally the mastermind behind Sydney’s most quality urban DJ crew, the Club Joint Allstars (which also included Elite artists DJ Gunz and DJ Tickelz), who set the pace for today’s various local crews and commanded instant respect and attention through their blazing turntable extravaganzas and hyped events, DJ Moto is also co-owner of Anthem Records (Sydney and Auckland), one of the premier vinyl specialist stores in the world. He is an honorary member of Australia’s hottest Latin hip-hop crew ILA Familia, and has played alongside artists including De La Soul, Ja Rule and Ashanti, Naughty By Nature, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Brian McKnight, Rahsaan Patterson, Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, Xzibit, RZA, DJ Rectangle, Shortee Blitz, DJ Cash Money, and many more.

Currently representing the Black Label Crew, who have played every major Australian/New Zealand city, and the Coast 2 Coast Jam Crew, where he is one of three DJs from Sydney, Melbourne and Perth who blaze clubs across the country on a six turntable show, Moto has showed time and again that his rare combination of turntable skill, knowledge of music, and insight into giving the crowd what it wants is unequalled. His current sponsorships, including Champion, Cyber Thief and And1, are testament to his respect within Australia and his staying power. It is one thing to read about his achievements and passion; it is another to see him live. So do yourself a favour and make sure you check out why DJ Moto is still fresh and exciting and sought after to this day.
