Review by timski97 Apr 14, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Australian DJ and producer... Who is basically one of our best known commecial DJ's quite talented but his music is very commecial pop and is music made for the masses.

Its sad how the only DJ's that get anywhere in Australia in particular are the more lame mainstream music.

Anyway he has established himself and is doing quite well... Not to be mixed up with the legendary Paul Mac from stimulus records of course.
