Julian 'Lacey' started Djing at University in 1993 while studying computers and quite quickly realized he enjoyed it a great deal more than his pursuit for an IT career. In 1995 he moved to Sydney and quickly found work on Oxford St which at the time was at its peak of popularity. During the nineties Julian had a number of long term residencies playing house and HiNRG at such clubs as the Temple, DCM, NV and the hard house day club at Kings Cross hotel as well as many guest spots at most of the inner city clubs. At this time Julian also started promoting regular events, the most successful being the long running ‘About Face’ Sunday recovery.
In 2000 Julian moved away from playing HiNRG and was more focused on house music which he had previously been playing only in early night sets. The two weeks of the Olympic Games in this year will be the most memorable of his life as he had residencies in three clubs at the time and DJed almost every night, the crowds in the city went truly mad for his sets.
This new focus on house music led him onto the world famous QBar on Oxford St which he was both a manager and head DJ of for almost 8 years. To this day Julian still says “I am yet to meet someone that was over 18 at the time that hasn’t been there at least once.”
Over this time Julian also had the opportunity to play in clubs in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide as well as international invitations to play in various clubs in New Zealand, Bali and Fiji.
Julian now enjoys a more relaxed approach running the DJ’s at ‘name this bar’ in Sydney, Australia, playing to a crowd "that simply enjoys good music.” Julian has recently become a Lucky Life resident in Australia, also looking after DJ management and sound and lighting for the Sydeny events, and in June this year, hit the White iSle of Ibiza for the first time, on tour with Lucky Life and playing sets at Kanya, Shardana and Es Vive's 'Experience Bar.'
