Melbourne artist DJ Smilez — known for his curated sets and infectious vibe, has fans labelling his experience as “the Smilez effect”

A local to the city of Melbourne, Australia – DJ Smilez has been recognized to have changed the path from a nightclub DJ to one of the most respected within the industry. He made a name for himself not only for his choice of music but for the energy he brings when playing – by championing a sound that blends Latin Rhythms, Baile Funk and Hip-Hop.

Mastering his skills for over 6 years, from practicing in his “home studio” to local nightclubs, bars – even remembering his first gig at a Melbourne venue Horse Bazaar, which may seem underwhelming to some, however to him, it was a humble step into what would turn out to be a career he could only dream of – this is where he has been able to perfect his ability to cross- sonic boundaries and step out of the shadow as just the-ordinary-nightclub-DJ and transform into someone who is admired for his unaccustomed visions and creativity.

With the release of his “Don Smiliño” project, Smilez elevated his journey by transmuting his latest mixtape with a visual experience, a pupuseria and the Don Smiliño Remixes. A project that he alongside his team of creative prodigies have been ceasely working on – the concept was focused on pushing boundaries, being more innovative and the gratitude he has towards the ability to express it all through music – His aim was to exhibit “the importance of a deeper connection to those around you and the energy in the atmosphere that music can produce.” It allowed him to showcase his transformation of self-discovery – to tell his powerful story about the significant journey and connection that he has with music. A prospect of growth together with an open mind to always seek a path of progress.

Amongst other interests such as working with new-start photographers and videographers in creating unconventional concepts for content, strategizing marketing plans and so forth, Smilez continues to find ways to improve and develop his skills to release new remixes and mixtapes – aside from all that he also has a keen interest in exploring the depths of composing his own sounds/music which will give him the opportunity to showcase his technical control and creativity in producing musical content.

Thus, has all lead to a strong social media presence which has altered the way he currently represents and markets himself, giving him the opportunity to use his reputation for being unique and innovative to showcase his sounds across all platforms and ultimately establish himself as a touring DJ.
