Ten Things You Didn't Know About Qwerk

1. My name is Eliot Mireylees, I have been involved in the Perth music scene since 2008.

2. I drifted through most genres of music before settling in what is essentially House music.

3. I completed a nine-week Beginner DJ Course at Nu Skool Academy in 2009 which fast tracked my beat matching ability over a few months.

4. Later that year I did a six month Electronic Music Production course at SAE Institute Perth.

5. I started DJing out in Perth at the start of 2010 under the name Mireyleese, I was a resident at the F*nked Up nights at Geisha and Bar Open. I was a finalist in the Limelite DJ comp that year, and also played in the Habitat DJ comp. I had a set at the In The Mix Perth Christmas Party and later supported Snob Scrilla at Villa as well.

6. In late 2010 I was diagnosed with a Congenital Cholesteatoma in my right ear, a non cancerous tumour that forms from birth on the inside of the ear drum. I had it removed a few months later and was left with a huge ear canal, lucky for me I only lost twelve decibels of hearing in that ear! This stopped me DJing for over a year while I recovered.

7. I mix Deep House, Tech House, Minimal, Techno, House, UK Bass, Garage and everything in-between. I struggle to answer the simple question - what type of music do you play?

8. I play a live two hour set every Tuesday 12-2pm on The Backyard Project Online Radio.

9. I am a cat man. I have two cats and couldn't imagine living without them.

10. I LOVE sushi!
