Melbourne-born and bred, DJ Magnus clearly communicates an infectious passion for music through the decks. If you missed his debut gig at Cairns Tropical Pride in 2007, he may well have had you sweating it out at Big Gay Day (Brisbane), I Remember House (Sydney / Melbs), Midsumma T-Dance (Melbourne), CoastOut (Coffs Harbour), ChillOut (Daylesford), Christchurch Pride (NZ), Rebel Bar (Melbs / Sydney), Broken Heel Festival (Broken Hill), Geelong Rainbow Festival, Tropical Fruits Festival (Lismore), or at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras AfterParty.
His signature sound of uplifting vocal House and an instinct for reading a crowd whilst delivering goosebumps on the dance floor, have earned him a respected place as one of Australia's finest House music DJs. However, he also shows fantastic versatility by playing Deep House and Trance for his fans.
He's held residencies all over Australia, including The Wickham / White Wolf (Brisbane), Daywash / Hot Kandi / ARQ / The Colombian (Sydney), Rock City / Sircuit / The GH / Sundaylicious, Viper Room, The Peel (Melbourne), and Flamingos (Hobart).
DJ Magnus has also supported many local & International acts including Heather Small (M People), Paul Mac, Kelly Rowland, Wynter Gordon & played alongside DJs Seamus Haji, eSQUIRE, Jolyon Petch, Dani Toro and Wayne G to name a few.
His online mixsets consistently rank in the Top 10 on podomatic.com, including holding the #1 position several times, and his collaboration on the music project "Bootleg House" in 2014 spawned him an online hit with their "Gold Life" cover-mash, both locally and internationally!
More recently, on Australia Day 2017, he hosted his very first fundraising event for Black Dog Institute (raising $8K), launched a successful weekly Sunday Session called "SHAG" with well-known Melbourne DJ "Queen Martine", and joined a brand new LGBTQIA Superclub called "PLAY Fridays" as resident DJ and Musical Director.
In 2018, he soared to new heights with his very first "AURAL" Trance event on NYD, with a series of follow-up parties, plus their new "FunHouse" events (Melbs, Hobart, Lismore), collaborating on both of these with fellow Melbourne DJ Damien Mack.
But the real highlight of his career so far that same year, was his signing to boutique studio Melodic Music as a singer/songwriter and producer. He wrote, sung, co-produced, and officially released his original debut single called "Until I..." on iTunes worldwide on November 29th, followed shortly by two official remixes.
In 2019, he debuted at the 30th anniversary of the Tropical Fruits Festival, added four LIVE performances of "Until I..." included opening the Midsumma T-Dance in front of an estimated crowd of over 100,000 people !!!
He launched the Pool Party for Tropical Fruits on NYD 2020, and was equally excited to provide the music for the "Colours of Our Community" float in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade in March.
After the recent passing of his mother, he's relocated to Lismore to be involved with the Tropical Fruits organisation, and local community volunteering. He was voted onto the Fruits committee and was responsible for their socials, setting up their monthly "LIVE Fruits" live streams and the regular "Fruity Fridays" events.
Due to the ongoing pandemic and loss of gigs, he's also been pumping out monthly podcasts and live streams from home, to keep everyone dancing! And was part of the lineup for Fruits NYE 2021.
After a brief hiatus in Melbourne for a few months in early 2022, he has returned to Lismore to help the community rebuild and recover from the devastating floods. This has inspired his brand new music collab with local artist Benjamin Gully, doubling up as "MagicBean", and cohosting fundraising events to raise monies for those affected.
As always,
Peace, love & tunes.

Irish singer, songwriter and political activist Sinéad O'Connor recently passed away. She consistently brought attention to issues related to child abuse (notably during that 1992 "Saturday Night Live" performance), human rights, racism, organised religion, and women's rights. Throughout her music career, she spoke about her spiritual journey, activism, socio-political views, as well as her trauma and mental health struggles.
Since then I’ve delved ever so deeply into her vast back catalogue of music…quite literally hours and hours of listening, singing and quite often crying! But I’ve finally narrowed it down to 11 of my favourite songs, including a couple of amazing collabs plus a very special closing song! I really hope you love this "folk rock to deep beats" journey I've created for you to remember her by.
Sinéad: Nothing Compared 2 U. Love Magnus.

Peter Rauhofer (April 29, 1965 - May 7, 2013) was an Austrian-American House producer, remixer and DJ. Peter was born in Wien (Vienna) and mainly lived in New York City. Peter first got his start as an A&R man for GIG Records. Since his first recording under his well known alias, Club 69, Peter had come to be one of the most in-demand remixers of the late 90's/2000's.
Club 69 was one of the most popular alias of Peter Rauhofer in the 1990's. At first, Rauhofer used different aliases to release his music. 'Unique' (1991) was first released under the names Danube Dance (a name he took from a compilation project of the same name released on GiG Records), Unique (16) and Saxmachine. These projects all featured the vocals of Kim Cooper.
In 1992, a remix of 'Unique' and the single 'Let Me Be Your Underwear' began to be played in Europe and in North America. Both tracks became instant club hits.
He was famous for a variety of his remixes including Cher's "Believe" and a number of Madonna's songs including "Nothing Really Matters", "American Life", "Nothing Fails", "Nobody Knows Me", "Get Together", "Impressive Instant" and "4 Minutes", as well as her collaboration with Britney Spears, "Me Against the Music" and various collaborations with Janet Jackson ("Throb" and "Just A Little While" to name a few). He has also provided remixes for Kylie Minogue, Whitney Houston, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Yoko Ono, Pink, Tori Amos, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Book Of Love, Soft Cell, Duran Duran and Mariah Carey, among others. He was also behind the tribal house record label Star 69 and was a frequent producer of the label's releases.
His style shifted from a house/tribal vibe to a more tribal/progressive feel with his later mixes. There wasn't a time in the late 1990s when one would go to a US club to hear many of his mixes playing through the speakers. Peter has also recorded material under the aliases, Saxmachine, Danube Dance, House Heroes and Size Queen. Peter once worked with Victor Calderone for The Collaboration project and once with the Pet Shop Boys for The Collaboration project. His remix credits are many and include: Depeche Mode, Madonna, Seal, Funky Green Dogs, Kylie Minogue, etc.
Rauhofer spun throughout the United States. He was the former resident DJ at the weekly gay dance night held at the Roxy in New York, which closed its doors in 2007. Rauhofer was formerly the resident DJ of the gay dance party called "Work". His party was held weekly at the Stereo nightclub in New York until March 3, 2008 when the City invoked eminent domain and acquired the building. "Work" was a monthly event, despite lacking a permanent venue.
Rauhofer was mostly known for spinning tribal house and continued to play many gay circuit party events, and was scheduled to play the ultimate events (White Party Palm Springs and One Mighty Weekend's Magic Journeys at Arabian Nights) prior to his falling ill in February 2013. The Collaboration was a dance music project created by Rauhofer. Rauhofer's first release as The Collaboration was "Do It Properly", a 1999 track produced with Victor Calderone, featuring Deborah Cooper on vocals. The Collaboration moniker was then used by Rauhofer on "Break 4 Love", a number one Hot Dance Music/Club Play hit featuring Pet Shop Boys.
Peter Rauhofer (Club 69) won the Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Remixer of the Year for his remix of Cher's "Believe".
On April 17, 2013, it was made public that Rauhofer was diagnosed with a brain tumor. A message was posted on his Facebook page by his friend and manager, Angelo Russo, informing friends and fans of the situation. On May 7, 2013, Peter Rauhofer passed away.

ONE of my all-time Fave Tunes !!!
Hey beautiful humans,
Today I am super proud to be celebrating 1000 days clean of crystal meth !!!
And releasing this very special Remix…
For those that don’t know my journey so far: 10 years ago when I was living in Sydney and Melbourne for several years, I initially got introduced to ice via the dating apps, and subsequently got caught up in a vicious cycle of drug and sex addiction. Because I mainly used as a hook up drug on weekends, this quickly became a regular pattern of abuse that I struggled to break free from. To the point where I wasn’t even really enjoying what I was doing anymore.
Something had to change!
And it most certainly did!
My mother passed away.
And not long after, I made the decision to relocate to Lismore.
Since then it’s been one major tree change, three years of local community, connection, reflection, recovery, grief, loss, love, support, and of course the amazing natural healing power of Mother Nature!
I’d previously lost many good people in my life, work opportunities, my health, my reputation, and of course a shitload of money due to my addiction.
The added stigma surrounding ice is still rife in our community, so I totally understand how very difficult it is to even open up and reach out for help, without being judged. It’s hard enough to try and quit crystal meth to get clean.
But I am more than happy to be that uncomfortable conversation starter for anyone who needs it.
I know that publicly sharing my own personal story has also helped to motivate and inspire other friends to come clean about being clean. Huge kudos to you too! And I hope that continues to be the case moving forward…
Massive thanks to all those who have been here with me on this “manic to Magic” journey. You know who you are, and for that I am truly grateful and I love you dearly !!!
Easing into my 50s, I’m happy to say that I’m living my best life, so much healthier, happier, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually too.
Thankfully, Music has always been there, my life passion, and a constant source of happiness.
So when I decided to release a commemorative Remix for today, and knowing the power of music and how it connects people, I thought how very fitting it would be to work on “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life”.
The song is one of my all time faves, and I really hope you love the Deep House treatment I’ve given it, so enjoy!
And as always…
Peace, love, and tunes.
