Caspian is a man with a long and detailed musical backstory. His creative career has been a vast chasm of rich aural history that spans many different skill sets, talents, and genres. In addition to his many active contributions with Melbourne’s techno and house community – whether it be through hosting event nights, running a TRNSMT show of his own, or working with several music collectives – he also has past experience as a guitar player, DJ, and a singer/composer. 

 

Caspian resides in Melbourne currently, and is warmly accepting of this city as his favourite place to be, and as the years roll by, He has been gathering huge momentum as a promoter and DJ who is strictly dedicated to top-shelf aural quality, and a unique & engaging musical style.
