DJ BIOGRAPHY:

Dean Dixon believes there’s great music in every genre, you simply require the passion, dedication, and patience to lay your fingers on it. It’s for that reason his DJ style espouses diversity. Dean takes listeners on unexpected journeys through a diverse array of soundscapes anytime he’s manning the helm.

Previously on the Australian underground music scene, Dean started and ran HAHA Industries and played regularly alongside Dave Fernandes (House of Mince/Aus) for over a decade. As D&D, they warmed the floors alongside some of the world’s most prominent international electronic music makers and forged a musical pathway down the side streets, forgotten laneways, and dark warehouse spaces that made up the more unique aspects of the Sydney late-night party scene.

Dean relocated to Bali in 2017 to take on a DJ residency at Indonesia’s highly lauded Potato Head Beach Club. He quickly also took on residencies at several other key establishments on the island, including Rock Bar, The W Hotel, Karma Beach Bali, and many others. Dean’s skills have landed him gigs further afield in China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Australia, the United States, and his homeland, Canada. He’s supported everyone from heavyweights like Robert Hood, Juan Atkins, and Kenny Larkin to eclectic diggers like Optimo and Tim Sweeney on numerous occasions, to the bastion of Balearic sound, Jon Sa Trinxa.  Dean has more recently decided to return to his homeland of Canada and presently hosts his monthly radio show, “Inner Circles” from the CTRL room studios in Toronto and other locations between his guest DJ appearances.

His endless pursuit to find weird and wonderful sounds and share them with others creates special moments each and every time he plays, whether that’s at a 4000-person venue warming up the dance floor for a platinum award-winning international act on New Year’s Eve or serving up more intimate sounds at a boutique beach club during sunset.
