DJ Clint Hargreaves

Local DJ Clint Hargreaves seems to be causing quite a bit of commotion around Melbourne, confirming the first sentence in his bio as a DJ "rapidly making his mark on the Australian dance music scene".

I have seen Clint Hargreaves play at least fifteen times, and he never ceased to amaze. He's got some of the tightest mixing skills ever, and he's able to pitch ride those turntables with any hand, and with so much ease, that it makes other good DJs seem like amateurs. Many times I've seen him slapping on a record and riding it straight into a (smooth) mix with one hand, while his other hand plays around with the mixer EQs. And he does this with all sorts of tunes -- talk about knowing your music!

At StellarBar on Bourke Street, I've seen Clint play 6 hour sets, starting off with some funk, breaks, or whatever the hell he's in the mood for, and moving on smoothly to some harder stuff. His night didn't always end at Stellar -- he had to pack up to go play at Republika. Some of the other places he's played at include The Saint at St. Kilda, Viper Room on Chapel Street, OneSixOne in Prahran, The Great Britain Hotel in Richmond, Playpen in Prahran, Love Machine ....

At clubs Clint plays some of the freshest Electro tracks and gets the crowd going each time. If the crowd was enjoying the Electro tunes, he'd play more of them. If they like the more vocal tunes, he'd give them vocal. He has such a huge music collection and an understanding of crowds that he is able to get anyone onto the dance floor. If he didn't have to cue up the next record I'm sure he'd be on the dance floor himself!

I've got no doubt Clint is going to make it big. And when does, you heard it here first!
