'Everybody Dance Now!' - Music Promoter, Producer and DJ, Dan Murphy

DJ Dan Murphy has followed a passion to create avenues for people to enjoy music. He writes and produces music and music videos. He is best known though as a charismatic and dynamic DJ, overseeing a variety of parties and events, globally and throughout Australia. In Sydney, he is the creative genius behind the popular party concept IRH (I Remember House). The event is known for its high quality music and production, and has become an iconic party in Sydney. In addition to playing his own parties, Dan has been a regular DJ at the iconic Sydney Mardi Gras party. He has been enlisted to select and mix the soundtrack for the New Year's Eve fireworks displays in Sydney Harbour. A far journey from the young man who studied pipe organ and piano at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. The enduring period of isolation and the climate of closure saw Dan turn his talents to a variety of online entertainments to connect with an audience and ensure they could access expression through music. Like us all, he pines for an outcome when we can gather freely again and celebrate community and dance with spellbinding music. DJ Dan joined Stages to provide an insight to the science of music and the career path that has allowed him to be part ring-master, part magician and all charm.
