JIKS

Bass came first for JIKS. He's spent years on stage as a working bass player in Australian music, and that shows once he's behind the decks, because his DJ sets are built on groove and feel. Expect funk and soul sitting beside house and broken beat, plus other styles along the way, all of it chosen for a warm, bass-heavy sound that keeps people moving. He pays close attention to how one track flows into the next. Think of a bar night that starts easy, or a party where the dancing builds slowly and nobody gets blasted. JIKS is based in Melbourne.
