     BMA DJ Profile

  1. DJ Name
    Fourthstate.
  2. Where did your DJ name come from?
    Look it up! Many cool meanings and mystery come into the name and I thought it would be different from the norm which pretty much all sums up how I play.
  3. Group Members?
    Alex Braknys.
  4. Describe your sound.
    A unique blend of driving progressive, techno, tech-house, breaks, dubstep, tech funk, deep house and minimal sounds. Anything I find to be top quality, forward thinking, head-caving bangers really.
  5. Who are your influences, musical or otherwise?
    I'd have to say that The Prodigy started everything for me back in '94 and everything has evolved from there. Now I have way too many influences to name.
  6. What's the weirdest experience you've had whilst performing?
    I've had a few occasions where some really zoned out people are deep into the groove and look nothing less than a zombie in motion; it's quite weird.
  7. What's your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
    Playing at Stonefest's 40th anniversary last year, Warehouse at the AIS, a few occasions at Sydney's Chinese Laundry and my EP being released!
  8. What are your plans for the future?
    Keep writing tunes, educating dance floors and most of all having fun!
  9. What makes you laugh?
    After-party conduct and Sucker Punch on YouTube.
  10. What pisses you off?
    The clueless.
  11. What's your opinion of the local scene?
    A great tight knit local scene, who at the best of times are up for absolutely rocking out harder than other scenes, though randomly quiet at other times.
  12. What are your upcoming gigs?
    +One feat. Shifty Business, Karton, Faux Real & Myself at Transit Bar on Friday July 31. Ministry Of Sound: Trance Nation tour feat. TyDi at Academy on Friday August 28.
