Hayden Ward

House, funky house and disco are Hayden Ward's first love, and on a late night he's happy to head darker into techno and trance. He's a multi-genre DJ originally from the UK, now based in Melbourne. His club and event bookings take in Pawn & Co, Lucky Coq, Riviera Beach Club and Thick As Thieves, along with nights run by Funk Formula and Slack Soundsystem, and he has played support on a Ben Hemsley line-up. For a party that's meant to turn into a proper dance floor, that background counts.
