Brisbane, Australia
Dubbed 'the Icon of the Brisbane Dance Scene' by Foxtel's Channel V at the turn of the millennium, DJ Barking Boy has been mixing it up since his stellar debut at Adrenalin back in '93. He's the mastermind behind Australia's much loved longest running oldskool 90s vinyl only rave event Candee Flip since 2007. He was labelled 'King of the Closing Set' after his tenure at Brisbane's most iconic underground dance club of the 90s, The Tube, where he regularly supported tours such as Cream, Ministry of Sound, Gatecrasher and Renaissance, playing alongside the finest DJs on the planet. He's played all across the globe and can now also be found playing fresh driving techno under the guise of Troq:v, whilst he also co-runs the popular ‘Beachball’ events on the Gold Coast, Australia. With his crisp up-tempo mixes, swift cutting, spontaneity and infectious energy, we just know that DJ Barking Boy (aka Troy Linthorne) will bring the party.
