CRAIG OBEY
DJ / Producer / Artist
Craig Obey has achieved multiple No.1’s, and between 2000 – 2009 consistently occupied Top10 positions on dance charts all around the globe. Both for original songs and his club remixes. Obey was signed to Ministry of Sound Australia’s umbrella label Hussle, and released 12″ club vinyl under various names, Platinum Groove Project (‘True Love’ MOS AU’s first release and No.1 ARIA Chart), Funk Corporation remixing Icehouse, and Craig Obey & the Elektrik Force, earning himself Top10’s in both the UK’s Music Week and DMC Club charts. He is one of only 6 Aussie DJ / Producer’s that MOS had cross over to become an artist, with the release of his original album in 2007 titled ‘The Elektrik Force’
‘The Elektrik Force’ was a hit in clubland with the first single ‘[email protected]’ spending 7 weeks in the Top10 of the ARIA National Club Chart. It was quickly followed up by ‘Hypnotize feat Chance’ the second single. A huge track it sold out of its first run of vinyl in the UK, in just a week. No copies then were left for the boys DJ ing in Oz…until it was re pressed and shipped. ‘How long? 12 weeks..damn!’ With only a few dj’s actually having the record in their box, or a cheeky bootleg CDR, it still went to No.1 on the ARIA Club Chart. As to be expected, eagerly awaited the album’s third single ‘Gonna Have to Pay’ debuted straight into the No.4 slot on the ARIA Club Chart alongside Craig Obey remixes for other artists that were charting in the Top10 at the same time.
As a DJ, Obey has supported many internationals including Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Pete Tong, Fatboy Slim, Roger Sanchez, Eric Morrillo, David Morales, Deep Dish, Barbara Tucker, Black Box, Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley, Dimitri From Paris, and the original 3 deck master, his personal friend Carl Cox.
Together Craig Obey and ZIA have released ‘Underground’ Single & Remixes (Young Hollywood Awards Show, USA, ARIA Club Charts), ‘City of Love’ Single & Remixes (Independent Hollywood Film) and ‘Looking at You ft Craig Obey’ Single and Remixes (commercial radio play in India and Dubai).
Craig also flies planes. He’s a commercial pilot flying twin engine aircraft and the co-founder of Droneheadz.com – an Australian start up company, trail-blazing Commercial Drone Aviation and Robotics Technology, using UAV’s or unmanned aircraft for Experiential Marketing, Cinematography, Advertising, Tourism, Event HDTV Live Broadcast, Aerial video Capture, and of course Art. Droneheadz was an artist at Sydney’s VIVID Festival of Music and Light in 2015 creating the ‘Game of Drones’ installation for INTEL. Most recently Droneheadz has ventured into publishing with Australia’s first ‘DRONE MAGAZINE’. The 84 page Drone Magazine is distributed in newsagents nationally, and online globally; uniting the industry and the general public of all ages through their common love of drone technology and all things that fly, especially robots whether they are used for creative, business or just for fun.
