Moopie is a quiet achiever. An explorative, kaleidoscopic DJ who steadily gained his reputation through word of mouth, and a curator connecting artists from a multitude of worlds. He’ll grace the Melbourne Art Fair Vernissage with his adventurous and open-minded approach to electronic music, which has earned him a place as one of the most curious and versatile DJs in the world.
Based in Naarm (Melbourne), Moopie is a storyteller whose sense for rhythm has enchanted audiences around the world, whether through peaks at Dekmantel, sunrise at Sustain-Release or all-night sets in the clubs of London, Amsterdam or Berlin. A careful balance of the heavy and light, the fast and slow, and the unashamedly fun and emotional. Mixmag named him as a Breakthrough DJ in 2023, while DJ Mag and BBC Radio 1 Dance named him as One to Watch in 2024.
As the label runner and curator of A Colourful Storm, he shares his warm and emotive inner world. Acclaimed by publications as varied as The Wire and Resident Advisor for its artistic and sonic diversity, the label has given a platform to local and international acts, and maintains a busy release, event and NTS Radio schedule. Its name reflects the colourful sides of Moopie’s music collection and personality, through lost indie-pop grails, contemplative ambience, four-to-the-floor dancefloor cuts and avant-garde soundsystem music. Moopie’s warmth and affection for his audience, peers and craft shines in his love for sharing and contextualising music to listeners around the world.
