DJ Anthum

Sydney’s Straight banger of hip hop and Rnb who knows how to move a crowd.

Dj Anthum wasted no time after hitting 18, becoming a resident at Fridays at the Pink Pepper lounge. He has also played some of Sydney’s hottest Rnb and Hip-Hop sets at Shark Bar, Ranch hotel, Mars Lounge, Eleven Nightclub, Space Nightclub and Docks Hotel.

Whilst the art of DJ’ing is Anthum’s foremost passion, he’s also an entertainment entrepreneur. In mid 2008, he founded his own promotional company and entertainment label, Team West, which was behind the extremely successful Disturbia and Freeze events.

Anthum’s talent behind the decks and pumping up a crowd have seen him carve out an enviable resume in 3 years on the scene, all while balancing a full-time career in IT. And having recently landed another residency, this time at the Collector Hotel’s Escape, it’s clear he’s just getting started!

Nue Funk

Nue Funk started deejaying at the tender age of 15 when he first bought his CDJ's.  Starting with an American Audio CDI500MP3 with a American Audio MK II 2 channel mixer, now days he's with 2 Pioneer CDJ's 800 MK II & in the process of acquiring a Pioneer DJM 800. 

Classifying himself as a mash up DJ, he likes to experiment with different beats & acapellas from various genres.  So far so good, currently deejaying the clubbing industry taking every opportunity he can get & determined to continue to grow until there's no more room...

Jessie James

DJ Jessie James aka Jessica Frangelli is based in Sydney, Australia, and is a well established DJ, commercial radio announcer and voice over.

Outgoing and charismatic; cheeky yet witty – Her style is raw, real and personal. Her mixing focuses on spinning the right kind of tone to a crowd, injecting personality and energy into all her sets, all whilst reaching punters on a personal level.

In a testosterone-driven dance music industry back in the mid nineties, DJ Jessie James began her career as a radio DJ at the tender age of 15. Never one to shy away from the limelight, her well honed verbal skills became apparent, as she quickly developed a strong network of contacts throughout the DJ and nightclub industry in the 90’s, while still attending high school.

As her fascination with dance music began to grow, Jessica was given the opportunity to co-host a dance music radio program on Sydney community radio station, 2RDJ FM. It soon became apparent to listeners and promoters that her star was only going to get brighter and she was soon snapped up as a regular guest DJ at under age events and parties.

Since then she has kept herself busy DJing, quickly earning a reputation as a crowd pleaser, spinning fat funky vocal house to crowds in her hometown of Sydney and throughout Australia including Collector Hotel, Q Bar, Castle Hill Tavern, Polish Club, Grand Tasman Hotel, Star Bar, The Great Northern Hotel and AKA Nightclub.
