DJ TR!P

“Peo­ple will be drop­ping this guy’s name before too long, because DJ TR!P is the next eccen­tric genius of elec­tronic music.” - Liq­uid Space Media

DJ TR!P is an award win­ning pro­ducer, com­poser and per­former of elec­tronic music. Over the past 10 years he has built an impres­sive reper­toire of live com­po­si­tions both for his club sets as well as for a vari­ety of high pro­file con­tem­po­rary the­atre and dance pro­duc­tions. His lat­est project, Ultra­cade, recently pre­miered at the Bris­bane Powerhouse.

DJ TR!P’s melan­choly yet beau­ti­ful, gritty and grimy sig­na­ture palette are due to his unique use of obso­lete 8-bit com­put­ers and video game con­soles & his exten­sive treat­ment of audio from numer­ous ses­sion musi­cians. His genre & style shifts effort­lessly with each project and col­lab­o­ra­tion. His music has been released on var­i­ous inde­pen­dent labels in Aus­tralia and internationally.

DJ TR!P had a strong rela­tion­ship with chore­o­g­ra­pher Tanja Liedtke, com­pos­ing for many of her projects includ­ing Enter Twi­light (Tas­dance), the award-winning Twelfth Floor and Con­struct.

As a Live Per­form­ing Act & DJ he has played at a vari­ety of venues, fes­ti­vals & events includ­ing Sun­down & Super Deluxe (Tokyo), Game On (Aus­tralian Tour for Video Game Exhi­bi­tion from the Bar­bi­can Art Gallery), Ten Days On The Island Fes­ti­val, MONA FOMA Fes­ti­val, Ade­laide Fes­ti­val, Big Day Out, Falls Fes­ti­val, Next Wave Fes­ti­val, This Is Not Art Fes­ti­val, Elec­tro Fringe, Ade­laide Fringe, Ade­laide Cabaret Fes­ti­val, Straight Out Of Bris­bane Fes­ti­val & the Aus­tralasian Com­puter Music Con­fer­ence.
