Hailing from London but now proudly calling Melbourne home after a stint in LA, DJ Hijack has swiftly earned a reputation as one of Melbourne's finest DJs. He possesses the unique talent of igniting any dancefloor, anytime, with a diverse range of genres including RnB, Hip Hop, Reggae, Dancehall, UK Garage, Drum 'n' Bass, and house. Known for his lightning-fast mixes and impressive turntablism skills, Hijack's ability to cut and scratch across various musical styles has solidified his status as one of Melbourne's most sought-after DJs.
His journey into the world of music began in Southampton, where he first encountered the exhilarating dance culture at underground acid house raves in his hometown. This early exposure led him to collect hardcore records before his passion for early Jungle and Drum 'n' Bass emerged. It wasn't long before he found himself playing his first gigs. His breakthrough moment arrived when he was handpicked by The Artful Dodger to join their groundbreaking night, REWIND. They shared the stage with emerging local MC and singer Craig David, and for a decade, Hijack exclusively played UK Garage tunes. As the night evolved towards an RnB and hip-hop music policy, Hijack adapted his sound seamlessly, proving that he could keep the party rocking, regardless of the genre.
Today, DJ Hijack's reputation and profile have reached new heights. He is now one of Melbourne's most sought-after DJs, gracing the decks four nights a week with multiple club residencies, headlining at some of the city's most prominent venues, and supporting numerous international artists. Every time he takes the stage, he gains a legion of new fans.
Some of the remarkable artists and acts DJ Hijack has supported include Wiley on his Australian Tour, Redman and Method Man, GZA, Calvin Harris, Timbaland, Craig David, 112, Blu Cantrel, Artful Dodger, DJ Premier, Grooverider, LTJ Bukem, James Zabeila, Foor (Friends of Four), Paul Oakenfold, Tim Westwood, Ms Dynamite, Donell Jones, Brandy, DJ Hype, Andy C, Total Eclipse (Xecutioners), Shortee Blitz, and many more.
DJ Hijack's ability to transcend musical boundaries and electrify audiences of all tastes makes him a true gem in Melbourne's vibrant music scene. Whether it's a pulsating dancefloor, an intimate gathering, or a massive event, DJ Hijack is the master of setting the perfect vibe.
