Murray Hood has quickly established himself as one of the Australia’s most versatile DJs. From playing to intimate crowds of 50 or throbbing crowds of over 8000 punters, Murray has played at most major events and venues in Sydney and Melbourne playing alongside some of the biggest artists around the world like Hex Hector, Olivia Newtown-John, Cyndi Lauper, DJ Paulo, Mike Cruz, Vanessa Amorosi, Tina Cousins, Zoe Badwi, Wayne G, Paul Goodyear, JC Christopher, Kate Monroe, Alan Thompson, Alex Taylor, Raen and Shauna Jensen.

Most likely you will hear him playing the finest pick of the latest house tracks, but he is also known for his crushing selection of trance, tribal, funky, electro, disco and progressive. Whatever the style, his sets are always full of energy and surprises.

In only a few years, he has proven himself to be one of Melbourne and Sydney’s most popular and respected DJs on the gay scene. He also has had a weekly program on Beat FM – Crème Latte, is one of the select few DJs to contribute his weekly top 20 club chart to ARIA Charts, and more recently has been announced as the Resident DJ with Sydney based broadcaster of online Radio, WebTV and Print media - 3media.
