T-Rek has been a live performer with a host of Australian bands including Infusion, Kim Salmon & The Business, and his own ‘T-Rek Band’, who appeared twice as part of the national Big Day Out tour. T-Rek is aware that it can appear impressive to name drop some of the people he has DJed and performed in support of.

T-Rek has officially remixed many bands and fellow producers including Coolio & Snoop Dogg, The Kills, Something For Kate & Nick Coleman (Faces Of Meth). T-Rek is bemused by the fact he appears to be writing in the third person.

T-Rek has been a resident DJ at Melbourne nightclub institution Revolver Upstairs for 20 years. T-Rek is running out of facts about himself to try and impress you. T-Rek is currently working on a slew of new club music collaborations, as well as reissuing some of his older material with new remixes etc. T-Rek has decided to finish up here. T-Rek would like to thank you for your time.
