BLACK ANGUS

Black Angus is a man with many hats. The co-founder and chief DJ at Sneaky Sundays; co-founder, producer, songwriter, guitarist and DJ for ARIA Award-winning super group Sneaky Sound System; owner of independent record label Whack Recordings; and of course, genre defying party DJ extraordinaire.

Like many children, his parents turned him on to music, but not in the way one would expect. At the tender age of eight he had a sneaking suspicion his mother’s playlist of Demis Roussos, Charlie Pride & Neil Diamond was not quite right, while his father’s blind obsession with Slim Dusty and American country music wasn’t pressing any buttons either, although there was ‘something’ about Jonny Cash that young Angus couldn’t quite put his finger on.

So began a lifelong search for music that did press the right buttons – 80s electro pop, Italo disco, American soul, Detroit Techno, German electronica, French house, acid house, deep house, minimal house and electro. Black Angus turned his hand to writing and producing in 2004, and a string of club and radio anthems followed that would change the face of Australian dance music forever. With a DJ CV that spans the globe and includes festivals like Glastonbury, V UK, Wireless UK, Rockness, Isle of Wight, Global Gathering, Mysteryland, Big Day Out, Splendour In The Grass, Good Vibrations, and clubs like Space Ibiza, Pacha Ibiza, Pacha NYC, Matter UK and just about every other club worth playing in the world, it would be fair to say that Black Angus, the man with many hats, really does know what he is doing.
