Michael’s extensive history in the venue nightlife and show industry has earned him a reputation as one of Australia’s most talented Lighting Technician’s. Starting out in the Perth nightclub scene, it was not long before manager’s and promoter’s alike were noticing Michael’s keen eye for attention to detail and creativity. Michael was contracted for a lot of interstate events and was offered a residency at a popular Brisbane venue where he had the opportunity to work alongside some of Australia’s most highly regarded performer’s and recording artist’s. The demand for Michael’s lighting design continued to grow so relocating to Melbourne was a very clear and obvious choice where Michael was quickly contracted to numerous venue’s and event’s including his current residency at Love Machine. Since coming on board at Love Machine in October 2009, Michael has completely reformatted, and redesigned the Love Machine lighting grid, to incorporate both the uniquely stylish interior of the venue and yet providing Love Machine’s patron’s and performer’s with a world class lighting show each and every weekend.

If you’re looking for a bass line that you just can’t sit still to and a vocal that runs down your spine, kdj won’t disappoint you. Smooth driving baselines coupled with a sexy slutty house vibe are the essence of kdj’s sets today. With a career extending the last 16 years, beginning in little old Adelaide and continuing in strength after her move to Melbourne in 2000, for kdj is was all about the GLBT club scene. With resident gigs in popular venues such as “KBar” (Candy Bar) and “Grind” (The Market), and a string of dance events and circuit parties including Magnitude, JET, Girl Bar and Mecca.

kdj now calls Love Machine home each weekend and is a regular at “GOSSIP SUNDAYS” from 9pm!

DJ Haylenise

She’s fast becoming one of the big guns of the circuit parties and has been labeled one of the hottest female DJs to come out of the Melbourne club scene but is still a relatively new comer with less than 10 years in the public eye.

From her initial charity gigs and youth parties, DJ Haylenise quickly developed a strong following within the gay & lesbian community and easily pleased the crowd at her debut Rawhide Party’s “Search For A DJ” competition, winning hands down and securing her position in the regular line up of local and international talent. She is now one of the main draw cards for the ROGUE and DAYWASH party events in both Melbourne and Sydney and has previously held residencies at venues such as HEAVEN’S DOOR, VALVE, SUGAR SUNDAYS and DISGRACELAND.

She’s played alongside names like Mr Timothy, Freemasons, Wayne G, Kitty Glitter and numerous visiting artists, and has performed at party events such as MECCA, MIDSUMMA T-DANCE and PINKALICIOUS, as well as a variety of club gigs in Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney.

Haylenise is a regular at “GOSSIP SUNDAYS” with her uplifting and energetic warm up set from 9pm!

MR Stoj

Since his first taste in the UK music scene less than 10 years ago, Mr Stoj quickly secured his position in the local Melbourne club scene with a variety of gigs and performances including Prahran’s popular Candy Bar.

His involvement in the creation of the successful MECCA parties paved the way for more of his infectious uplifting vocal house and big-beat anthems to be heard over the airwaves with his “Saturday Shuffle” afternoon program on KISS FM. After many months as one of the Saturday night DJs for LOVE MACHINE, Mr Stoj joined the “SUNDAY GOSSIP” team to secure a regular weekly resident gig and has previously performed for events and parties such as SENSATION, RAWHIDE, ROGUE, PURR, LIVEONEDAY, MIDSUMMA BOAT CRUISE and BETTERDAYS to name just a few!

In 2009 Mr Stoj returned to the airwaves again with his Friday night mix “House Arrest” on Australia’s leading Gay & Lesbian radio station, JOY94.9, and continues to rock dance floors throughout Melbourne, with venues that include SPICE MARKET, THE MARKET and the BARKLY HOTEL.

Mr Stoj is one of “GOSSIP SUNDAYS” resident music masters, and his ‘hands-in-the-air’ anthems and dance floor bombs can be heard each week from 11pm!

DJ Peter “Mona” McNamara

DJ Mona (as he’s known to his friends) is a perfect example of success in the music and entertainment industry. From his early days as a bar manager for a popular Collingwood corner pub, he soon found his calling behind the decks, filling in for an absent DJ and soon securing a regular gig. He learnt fast and was soon a master of the decks, catching the eye of other venues who recognized his talent and enjoyed his musical delights. After a residency at THE PEEL, Peter soon hit the big time with major dance party events such as MARDI GRAS and SLEAZE BALL in Sydney, followed by residency gigs in venues and parties such as MONKEY, FREAKAZOID, THE MARKET, LAIRD HOTEL and many more!

He’s played sets alongside big name DJs such as Frankie Knuckles, Ron Carroll, Spen, Deep Dish and Tony De Vit and has a huge following in both the gay/lesbian community and the straight clubbing scenes! His music is diverse, catering to whatever crowd is thrown in front of him, from deep & soulful, uplifting vocal house to rolling progressive tunes with grunt, this DJ can do it all.

His current residency gigs include venues such as THE SOCIAL and THE MARKET while he’s often asked to play at most of Australia’s biggest music festivals and events.

Mona is the longest running “GOSSIP SUNDAYS” resident DJ and his late night mix of chunky tunes and big beats can be heard every week from 2am!
