Declan Lee (Australia)

It’s safe to say Declan Lee is a key figure in the Australian Dance community. A well respected DJ, producer, touring agent and A&R consultant, Declan has run his finger across every aspect there is to electronic music. It is, as a DJ however that he has forged a most respected and solid reputation. With a current style that spans genres including house, tech-house, electro-tech and breaks his music is tasty, cutting edge and infectious.
 
His passion for music opened a career that has embraced just about every aspect of the music business there is. He’s worked as a music programmer for street festivals and dance parties, as an A&R manager and in all realms of DJ’ing, producing, radio broadcasting, writing, event management, touring and music management. He’s battered but not beaten…
 
Skirting the perimeters of the loop of cool and getting on with what he damn well pleased, Declan has notched up residencies at a diverse range of electronic establishments over his 13 years of DJ’ing. With recent residencies at the infamous Chinese Laundry (for close to 5 years), Sounds on Sunday, Home, and a variety of other clubs in Sydney, there are few that would deny Declan has held some of the best residencies in the land! Running the vinyl gauntlet with the diversity of genres he chooses to play means that Declan’s record collection fits snugly within a wide range of genre’s. His music is simply.. well… good music that makes you dance. Nothing more, nothing less.
