BIOGRAPHY

PhDJ is a disc jockey, business guy, music producer, and an all round party dude. His real name is Martin Novosel and not only is he founder and owner of independent record label, club & event promotion company Boundary Sounds (www.boundarysounds.com) but he is also one of Australia’s highest profile indie party DJs, and a pioneer for a generation of left-of-centre party-goers and music lovers.

After living in London for three years, overstaying his visa and getting fired from a string of day jobs for DJing and partying too much, PhDJ moved back to Sydney to avoid extradition. A few mishap attempts at regular jobs later he established Boundary Sounds – a company responsible for releasing Sparkadia’s debut record, managing Philadelphia Grand Jury, establishing Sydney’s longest running indie club, as well as Australia’s most recognizable indie club brand Purple Sneakers, and also a slew of other records, clubs and events.

In music business terms press have compared PhDJ as being a spiritual younger brother of people Steve Aoki, James Lavelle and Busy P. Having been featured in a list of Australia’s Top 30 most influential people under the age of 30 PhDJ is what press would call an organically rising star.

So much does his reputation precede him that prior to LA-based DJ AM's last trip to Australia AM's people called PhDJ's people to ask him to throw a party for the superstar DJ. And he did. It was off the hook! Likewise Converse recently chose to showcase PhDJ in their 100 years of Converse ‘Icons’ campaign as a representative of a generation of up and coming creatives alongside local and international superstars including M.I.A., Sid Vicious, Karen O, Billy Joe Armstrong, Common, Joan Jett, James Dean and others.

Side note 1: Whilst DJing at Splendour in the Grass the Arctic Monkey’s Alex Turner told PhDJ that he was one of the best DJs that he’d seen.

Side note 2: It's still not 100% certain whether PhDJ was responsible for Jake Stone's broken leg or whether it was Jake's own drunken frivolity. The footage is out there somewhere on Youtube.

As a DJ PhDJ’s mashed up versatility behind the decks is huge. He is just as comfortable touring internationally, playing big-room clubs and playing at festivals to thousands as he is playing in the front room of a mate's house party. And like any good house party DJ he'll thrash whatever genre happens to get sucked onto the decks, doesn't matter if it's hip hop, rock, booty, punk, funk, indie, disco, soul or whatever it takes to get a room bursting at the seams.

As one of Australia’s highest profile indie party DJs he’s toured the UK, US and Australia many times. Highlights include supporting Santogold, Bloc Party, The Presets, Le Tigre, Chk Chk Chk, The Kills, Ratatat, Alan Braxe, VHS or Beta, DJ AM, Good Charlotte, Lily Allen, Ian Brown, Chicks on Speed, Midnight Juggernauts, Princess Superstar etc etc… And playing the main room of the world’s biggest indie club - London’s Club NME (twice). In the past year or two PhDJ has also played just about every Australian festival of note including Splendour in Grass, Good Vibrations, Falls Festival, Parklife, Playground Weekender, Field Day and Big Day Out.

Never one to remain idle, with his business securely established, 2008 has seen PhDJ have time to get stuck into remixing, music production work and even some film making. For the latter of these check out the bLuejuice tour video PhDJ filmed when he went on tour with the band a few months ago. If you look very hard around the 1:27 mark you may even see the moment PhDJ broke Jake Stone.

On the music production front PhDJ recently formed a music production partnership with Sydney producer Black Anthony to create production duo Dept. (pronounced ‘department’), which has seen PhDJ up the ante in the busy stakes. Dept. have in their infancy already reworked tracks for US dance acts Walter Meego and Yacht, as well as re-rubbing tracks for The Grates, Pop Levi, Wolf & Cub, Sneaky Sound System, Dukes of Windsor, Sparkadia, Bluejuice and The Dirty Secrets. The duo's portfolio is beginning to take some serious shape.
