DJ Teilhard aka Madstyles
Teilhard and Tobias J first stepped behind the decks as a dj duo back in 1996 at age 16. Their early experience in playing to packed dance floors and years of experimentation has given them an insight into the development of dance culture in Australia and a distinct ability for manipulating the turntables and blending records with ease and sophistication. Their style has developed from an interest in pushing the boundaries of djing, incorporating visual elements and often performing with live musicians, percussionists, vocalists and mcs the two draw on an extremely diverse range of musical influences. The result being dj sets which tend to cover a lot of ground, not necessarily adhering to genre limitations, but constantly leaning towards the obscure and offbeat end of whichever genre they’re attacking. You can be sure these two strive to impress and smash the dancefloor everytime they step to it. A combination of turntablism and seamless beatmixing has seen these two hold dance floors captive and deliver many memorable performances over the past ten years. Hosting countless dance events along the east coast the pair have performed alongside countless national and international acts from the worlds of tech, hip hop and drum and bass. The duo are extremely flexible in approaching sets playing a mixture of funk, rock, breaks, hip hop, dub, reggae, dancehall and drum and bass depending what the occasion calls for…
