DJ CHAM HARDCORE
“DJ and Producer of happy vibe hardcore dance music promoting the feel good hands in the air vibe”
This is how DJ Cham perceives himself as both artist and DJ. Promoting the happiest vibe that hardcore dance music can deliver. Having grown up on hip hop beats, 80’s synth pop, acid house and early break beat hardcore this was a foundation for the feel good vibe of his musical selection as he began his journey into hardcore. Funky break beats, rolling pianos, happy vocals, electronic synths, fat stabs and 4/4 kicks featured heavily throughout this journey.
Today, DJ Cham never strays too far from the classic mid nineties happy vibe bringing you both the best of the old and the freshness of the new in his mixes and productions.
You can see him playing out live in Melbourne and Sydney spinning brand new upfront Happy Hardcore or catch him on LAZERFM Worldwide online radio every week FRI 11pm GMT/SAT 8am AEST

We have played gigs as residents in grimsby, various gigs throughout lincolnshire, a couple in N.Ireland and 3 so far in Australia as well as my weekly radio show on LazerFM .
