About the Artist
With 18 years of professional DJing behind him, starting out at age 16 in Darwin, and culminating in his outstanding performances at his residencies at Melbourne’s Sunny, 161 and other important underground clubs, Gavin continues to hold some of Melbourne’s longest standing and influential residencies. He has kept his eye not on the prize, but on the movement. Keitel is more interested in blowing someone’s mind with an intelligent selection of records rather than trying to be a superstar. As such, he has avoided becoming a product of any big promotion machine and has aligned himself with good music, rather than brands, labels and crews.
Instead of being the pin-up boy, Gavin is the DJ that any crew might call to get the job done right, and to add credibility to the event. Whether it be the local house club, the 8000 person event, or the national tour, he is often entrusted with the most delicate set times for the most important events. Why? Because he is focused on the moment, the movement, and the sound.
The result for Gavin is a style of DJing that is described by his peers as simply brilliant. Perfect, even. But for Gavin, it’s not a big deal, it’s just how it should be done. He is amongst the hardest working and most respected DJs in the country.
Whether Gavin is exploring the depths of a Sunny set, maintaining a house groove or pushing the German minimal tip, he lets the music do the talking. A DJ set at the hands of Gavin Keitel is a pleasure in any music lover’s books. He brings with him the highest level of professionalism, coupled with a raw passion for what he does. That is why he has been, and will continue to be one of Australia’s premier league DJs.
