Aliases / Light Year, Australia
Light Year came to be, many aeons ago, in a celestial orb - just slightly to the east of Australia's dance music capital, Sydney.
In the heady world of the late noughties, his first release "Night/Vision" on Sydney powerhouse Bang Gang 12's, gained worldwide praise and play - in particular, the flirtatious "Sex Education" - re-edited and powerplayed globally by Soulwax, 2manydj's, Erol Alkan, Tiga and Brodinski. The Night/Vision EP was the first step on a road that has seen him innovate his way from electro through to the rebirth and reimagineering of techno and house. "5GIRL5", half a year later, gained even greater acclaim, with high-rotation on BBC Radio 1, and a thorough working-over by disc jockeys the world over.
After touring around Europe and North America, a period of redefinition followed, with a year of silence ended - spectacularly - with his final release on Bang Gang: "Moderation". A deep-house mover rooted in the European tradition, this big-room slice made heads take notice – Tensnake & Tiga calling it one of their favourite tunes of 2012. Of late, remixes from Paul Woolford's Special Request project,... More Biography
