DJing since tender age of 14yo, Soundhustla was inspired to become a DJ when introduced to the Sydney rave scene in the mid-90’s. He then went on to DJ for weekly breakdance classes at Kangaroo St Community Centre at Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and has also promoted his own successful hip hop night “B-Sides”.
Fast forward to today, Soundhustla is the co-founder of TheGOODfoot a monthly Funk/PartyHiphop/Mashup Night held at Middlebar which he has dj'd alongside the likes of Slynk and Jon Ohms(Goodgroove Recs), Cool Hand Luke, Will Styles, Swat DJ's, BKP to name a few, has held down residencies at some of Sydney’s premiere clubs such as Ruby Rabbit (voted club of the year for 2 years running whilst in residency) / De Nom, Chinese Laundry, The Argyle, World Bar, Good Bar, Bungalow 8, The Burdekin, Opera Bar and latest additions; Crystal Bar, Shore Club, Ravesis, Soda Bar, Henry Afrikas and Cream Tangerine. He is also 1 half of "Playing With Knives" his latest project who played Main Stage at Last Years FALLS FESTIVAL to a crowd of over 8000 people!
Working at The Record Store (considered by many as Sydney’s first stop for dj vinyl supplies) he keeps his finger on the pulse of what’s fresh and what’s next. Pioneering the hiphop/mash up genre of music in the Sydney club scene, Soundhustla diverse style incorporates everything from turntablism, hip hop / funk to electro house & breaks and most recently, Bassline/Rave/fidget/Dubstep. Rock up at one of his gigs and you’re likely to find him mix it up even further with frequent collaborations with other musicians such as a saxophonist / flutist, drummer, percussionist and an MC.
