When Julia stepped onto a social dance floor full of swing dancers for the first time in 2008, it was love at first sight. The dancing, the energy, the pure joy coming from the crowd, all brought on by the most wonderful music. She was immediately drawn to being the one behind the decks, trying to bring those joyous smiles onto the dancers’ faces. Julia has since Dj’ed at countless events all around Australia, small and large. Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues, Shag, you name it she’ll find the right songs. She likes to read the room, taking the dancers on a ride through various tempos and styles. Her favourite tunes usually feature clarinet or piano, or a big fat driving rhythm, and most likely some Duke Ellington, because in Julia’s opinion, he’s the best! She is looking forward to playing lots of fun tunes for you at MLX! Don't be shy, come and say hello!

She is proud of her vast catalogue of music, reading the floor skills and loves a good unknown version of a classic. She aims to bring joy to the dance floor. 

There once was a DJ named Chris,
Whose swing tunes were nothing but bliss.
With beats oh so smooth,
He'd make you groove and move,
Dancing to his songs, you couldn't resist!

Morgana is an emerging DJ, having played for The Night Owls and Swing Patrol's Lindy Friday. She loves connecting dancers together through the joy, grief, love, determination, and creativity that blues music evokes. Morgana enjoys drawing from across the spectrum of blues, from punchy, driving tracks to gooey slow tunes. She can't wait to entice you onto the floor at MLX with her playful sets!

Shaz loves all kinds of music. She loves the kind that makes you holler, tap your feet, shimmy all over, shake what your mama gave you, or shuffle off to Buffalo. For Shaz it doesn’t get better than music and dancing, whether it’s having a boogie in the lounge room or swinging out on a packed ballroom floor in New York City. Shaz is quite a klutz and somewhat technologically challenged, however when she manages to play music people seem to have a good time. Shaz regularly plays tunes in whatever town she finds herself and has been fortunate to DJ all around the country including Canberräng Melbourne Swing Festival, Sydney Swing Festival, 1929’s Sweet & Hot, Little Big Weekend, Jumptown Jam, Jazz Bang, White Night and Hullabaloo. She has been a regular at MLX and is super happy to be DJ-ing once again– let’s dance!

Hailing from the South West of WA and raised by parents from a sporting background, Stephen didn’t believe he had a musical bone in his body. It wasn’t until 2016 when started going to a regular swing dancing social every Sunday at the Belgian Beer Cafe in Perth that he suddenly found a new fondness and appreciation for jazz and blues, continually nagging the DJs about what songs they were playing. Now, he’s a regular face amongst the decks at events across the country.  

Stephen likes his jazz like a good whiskey. Neat, smooth, sometimes chilled and with a little bit of punch to it. The foundation of his music library is based on the authentic jazz that defined the swing dancing era, whilst also promoting the local legends and international bands that are way too fun to swing out to.
