Since 2001,.Boydex has risen through the ranks and firmly cemented his position as one of the fresh faces of the Melbourne breaks scene. Boydie gained his appreciation for music through his love of dancing and the powerful effect that the music had on him. Not getting caught up with genre specifics, Boydex immersed himself in the pure sounds that he was moved by. His first gig was at “Break Free”, an outdoor breaks party that was held at a time when breaks were starting to influence the Melbourne scene more heavily. It wasn’t long before Boydie was grabbing the attention of punters, through his ability to get crowds jumping every time he stepped up to the decks. His passion was soon conveyed through his music and still is today, making him a highly respected DJ amongst his peers.
Boydex presents a unique sound which captures the attention of crowds in a varying range of clubs, from trance fanatics to techno enthusiasts. Since the first time he appeared as a DJ, he has played amongst some of his biggest influences and Australia’s best, including Phil K, NuBreed, Ransom & Brewster B. His residencies have included Scatterfunk, Hard Kandy (Side Trax), Trauma, Elevation and @mosphere, all of which have been or still are largely influential clubs in the Melbourne dance scene. Boydex has also appeared at the Advent*jah Festivals (2003-2004), Rainbow Serpent 2004, Hardware (Jeff Mills, TransAtlantic) 2004, Sunshine People 2004/2005, Utopia and 4th Dimension @ QBH, Daybreak, Breakdown (Club UK), just to name a few.

A recent move into production has enabled Boydex to move beyond the traditional creative boundaries of DJing. Alongside long time friend Chris G, the pair has combined their creative talents to form DSOL. Their ambition is to create a unique sound that challenges the imaginations of their audience as well as their own. The progression from DJ to producer has added an extra element to his musical appreciation and knowledge, one which is already turning heads amongst the more established producers in Melbourne. His aspirations are equal to his genuine love and respect for music in general, certainly making him an artist to watch closely in the future.
