DJ Sean Quinn (born Sean Quinn; 26 February 1971) is a record producer and Australian electronic music DJ from Melbourne Australia. He has been a part of the meteoric rise of electronic music on an international scale for well over two decades first as a DJ then additionally in production...[1] His writing partnerships bore fruit in the 1990's when he was nominated for two ARIA Music Awards initially for Quench "Dreams" and later with Our House "Floorspace" [2] and was the winner of two consecutive DMA awards for "Victorian DJ of the Year" in 2001 and 2002.[3]
Biography[edit]
Sean began obsessively collecting vinyl at the age of 15 with no idea at this stage he may eventually want to become a Club DJ. At 17 he was sneaking out of the family home and going to clubs where he picked up a job handing out free passes for entry to one of Melbourne's iconic clubs Chevron. It wasn't long before he started looking at the guy behind the decks with a view to one day doing that job[4]
1993 saw Sean and fellow DJ C.J. Dolan come together to see what the two could create in a studio environment. About a month later, Sean's partner in Our House, Kasey Taylor, was brought in and over a period of three solid weeks their first single as Quench "Feel my love" was completed. The boys shopped it around to various local record companies with an offer finally being taken up by Melbourne based Vicious Vinyl and English label Pulse 8. Reverting back to the original line up, Sean and CJ next created the monster track 'Dreams' which debuts on the British dance charts at number 3[5]and number 9 on the French singles chart,[6]
In 1995 the second project, Our House, was born out of friendship with DJ Kasey Taylor. Starting with a few local remixes, the duo began to formulate their own trademark sound, bringing MDS to their door. The first self-titled single did reasonably well in Australia, and was signed to Pete Bones 'Ugly Bug' label overseas; but it wasn't until "Floorspace" was signed to Paul Oakenfold's label Perfecto, that the two truly captured the attention of the world again.[7] A no. 3 dance chart position in the U.K. was the order of the day this time[8] helping to cement the team an ongoing deal with the aforementioned label.
The year 2000 and again in 2002 Sean was asked to do the National Tour on the festival described as "one of the most successful and long-running rock festivals in the world"[9] - The Big Day Out.[10] Touring every capital city of Australia, his set in the 'Boiler Room' saw him play alongside The Chemical Brothers, Goldie, Basement Jaxx and Primal Scream.
Jump forward to 2010 and we see a collaboration between Sean and long time friend Gus Cullen entitled “Getting Away With It” that gets signed to Vicious Vinyl. The cover of Manchester band James monster hit from 2001 features the vocals of Danny Bonicci Nubreed and Manuel Infusion. The single received a huge amount of support on NOVA all across the country and for nearly three months it was hammered 26 times a week. Before long the boys were off on a national tour to support it including festivals such as Stereosonic. It didn’t stop there, “Getting Away With It” became the 35th highest selling dance single in the country in 2010 on the prestigious ARIA end of year chart[11]
