G'day. I'm Jonathan Russell aka DJ Rock Hardson. I also go under Rock Solid, Mr Russell, Jono and JB. I've been playing records in clubs, at parties and festivals since I was a kid in Sydney in 1991. I have played at full moon parties on beautiful Australian beaches, international festival main stages, sleazy after parties, dingy underground clubs in far off foreign cities, VIP boat parties, concert tours, kid's discos, awful corporate team building weekends, wrap parties for Oscar winning films, Greenpeace protests, classic club nights, killer roof parties, haute couture fashion parades, celebrity weddings, national radio and television programs, fabulous nobody's birthday parties and more than a few back to mines.

I play all sorts of good music. Contact me for demo CDs or click here to download a mix.

As well as being a DJ I am an event producer and a primary school teacher. As of 2008 and I live between Byron Bay, Australia and Bali, Indonesia.

i wanna make you sweat the summer of love, hordern dance parties and ecstasy. todd terry, royal house, inner city, phuture, frankie knuckles, derrick may. my first gig was at the bentley bar. the next one, kinselas. i was there!	deep house lover i love lists but they are never complete: let's try metro area, moody man, inland knights, mr fingers, todd edwards, masters at work, joe smooth, jake childs, ian pooley, fred everything, jazzanova...	acceptable in the 80s i was making mix tapes for girls who never understood me. too much billy bragg, clash, cure, frankie and the smiths and not enough wham or mel and kim they said. sorry kylie. and jodie. and ingrid.
don't worry, be happy i'm down with flavour flav and ice cube more than bobby mcferrin but he was wicked the way he did that whole song a capella: not one instrument other than his voice. i try to get straight and meditate like a buddhist as much as i can	rock solid b-boy faker and wannabe breaker, sell out bitch with a penchant for adidas. check out the things i do for money at www.solidgolddisco - home of the party that blows the roof off byron bay every month	electric sunshine superdisco i put on a great new year's day festival for a few year's there on the grassy banks of the Brunswick River, Mullumbimby, NSW. have a look at my last effort at www.superdisco.info
hip hop you don't stop q-bert and rectangle can sleep safe at night but i've got the skillz to pay the bills when it comes to scratching it up and mixing it down. my signature style mashes up beats from electro, house and techno with hip hop breaks, pop riffs, funk licks, disco crimps and country and western sentimentality	tequila? thanks, i'd love one please include a bottle of your finest in my rider, but hold the coldcuts - i'm a vegetarian (nb: coldcut - that amazing UK electronica duo - are in my pantheon of greats, jdj's "60 minutes of madness" being the seminal mixed cd. nuff respect!)	let's get this party started right! i'm a dj not an mc but i do like to rock the mic if the timing's right. we came here to party, right? like lionel ritchie said it's time to raise the roof and have some fun. right
