About DJ Beast Mode

Beast Mode is widely recognised as Australia’s most decorated DJ, holding titles across nearly every major competition platform in the world.
He was crowned Vice-Champion at the 2019 World Goldie Awards, placed third at the 2017 Red Bull Thre3style World Championships, and is a two-time Red Bull Australian Champion. He’s also a former Australian DMC Champion, Australian ITF Scratch Champion, and Stealth DJ National Champion.

He is the only DJ globally to have achieved successful placings across all major world DJ championships — and the only Australian to have won every national title.

In addition to his competition success, Beast Mode has forged a strong career in music production. Signed to Warner Music Global and Warner Chappell Global, his production credits include placements in film, television, the UFC, and major international sporting events. He’s also released gold and platinum-selling mixtapes through Universal Music and Ministry of Sound, and serves as an international representative for DJcity Worldwide.

A Win for the Culture

Beast Mode’s triumph is more than a personal achievement — it’s a milestone for Australian DJ culture. It shines a global spotlight on the nation’s talent and sets a new benchmark for creativity, versatility, and performance standards in the scene.

As DJ KC put it, “It’s a huge win for our culture — and for every Australian DJ.”

We at Eastside Radio are so incredibly proud of DJ Beast Mode and his representation of not only the culture, but Sydney at large.
