DJ HMC

AUS

Propelling Down Under techno and house into the world’s
clubs with classics such as Phreakin’, LSD and 6AM in the
mid-90s, DJHMC (Cam Bianchetti) is rightly hailed as the

‘godfather of Australian techno’.

DJHMC is called the godfather of Australian techno for a
reason. He and the labels Juice and Dirty House were
responsible for his hometown Adelaide’s title of ‘Australia’s
Detroit’. He hit number one on the German dance charts in
1995 with Dirty House’s first release Phreakin’ and Carl Cox
included LSD on his classic mix FACT 2. Aside from Cox,
global HMC fans include Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Luciano,
Laurent Garnier, Optimo and Claude Young.
His performances as DJHMC are of course very different
now to those heady early days and his music style now
reflects his love of not just techno but also house music.
He has started touring and those who have not experienced
him live should be excited. Infamous for his fear of flying
which is in the past now, he has just concluded yet another
tour of Europe having made is fourth consecutive
appearance at Berlin’s infamous Berghain in as many years.
DJHMC has just launched an all new label ‘reflector’ which
will be a platform to release his re-mastered back catalogue

and to also feature his most recent work.

The world is his, and he has embraced it whole-heartedly as
the world has embraced DJHMC; once again to prove why
he is one of the most talented techno and house DJs to ever

grace the turntables.
