BIO
Luke Ryley a.k.a DJ Luko, cut his teeth and garnered local respect competing in and winning DJ competitions around Melbourne.
Luke secured his first residency with a victory in the “New Blood” DJ competition ran by respected Melbourne club The Lounge, in conjunction with local breaks party conglomerate the “Gimme a Break” crew.
Continuing on Luke made appearances at local parties such as ‘Ginmme a Break’ and smaller local club nights around the Melbourne CBD. Catching the attention of local promoters and DJ’s it wasn’t long until Luke had cemented his spot as a regular on the ever competitive Melbourne scene with Friday and Saturday night residencies.
Spinning records across the majority of Melbourne’s diverse clubs, he would play regular 4 hour sets every Friday and Saturday night and make guest appearances Thursday and Sunday’s at some of Melbourne’s most respected clubs with the sets containing everything from HipHop through Electro, House and of course Breaks.
It wasn’t long untill Luke began developing his own sound with his continued interest in live performance and music production. This interest manifested itself, with the help of local stalwarts such as Luke McD, into a ‘live’ party ran exclusively for local producers to perform their music on a public stage.
The party, aptly named ‘aLive’ ran for approximately 2 years garnering both critical acclaim and strong local support.
At the beginning of 2007, Luke, along with label partner Blinky, began laying the foundations for what would become BeatGeek Records. Luke however continued the development of his own, dancefloor driven, peak time sound along the way.
The last year has seen Luke expand both the BeatGeek’s and his own horizons with a relocation to Sth-East Asia. Here he continues to impress people with his eclectic and party driven track selection in both his DJ and live performances.
Now based in Bangkok – Thailand, Luko stays busy producing and remixing tracks, the future certainly looks bright.
