Melbourne’s own Rory Newport aka Tough Break, a DJ, producer and vocalist delivering a polished brand of house, born of techno, funk and disco.

From the heart of Melbourne’s lockdown, Newport delivered his dance-floor ready debut DIVOC on OneLove imprint You Do You, before signing to adored locals Medium Rare Recordings for his sophomore offering Don’t / Trip[MRR076], which drew support from MK, Tiësto and Chris Lake among others and peaked at #6 spot in the Tech House charts on Beatport.

Tough Break’s unique approach to production and ability to infuse his signature vocal style into his tracks sets him apart from the rest. With his left-of-centre sound design, Tough Break embodies his mantra of “embracing the weird”. Add a bumping bassline for the night owls, and pack it all together to create releases that exude confidence, vibe & NRG well beyond his years.
