Moopie is a quiet achiever. An explorative, kaleidoscopic DJ who steadily earned his reputation through word of mouth and curator connecting artists from a multitude of worlds, his adventurous and open-minded approach to electronic music 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 a diversity of 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. His record bag is filled with strange and beautiful oddities that reveal themselves at the most perfect times, leading listeners into cathartic sonic realms while reminding them of heavenly forgotten gems. 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. His intuitive nature, sensitivity to context and adaptability to genre boundaries have been lauded by Ben UFO and Helena Hauff, who both regularly invite him to play back-to-back sets.

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. He stands out as a daring yet refreshingly humble figure, quietly redefining expectations while turning dancefloors inside out.
