DAN WHITE [aka DJ ESCHER] Street Punx
FORMER SPY & AGENT TO THE QUEEN. HITS INCLUDE PUSSY GALORE AND DR. GOOD HEAD
Dj Escher originally grew up in the UK on a diet of early 90s break beat and drum n bass, listening with a keen ear to the worlds finest djs week in week out gaining valuable experience on how to rock a party. Moving out here in the late nineties to follow the breaks scene where it seemed to be most popular, he gained residencies at Kerfuffle in Manly and Blowpop in Kings cross, Sydney. Playing various different set times over the last few years has helped his record box become incredibly varied, with everything from party shakers to head nodders, he has consistently proved he can not only keep up with Australias best, but often out do them.
