When Gordon aka. DJ Ruby could not get enough uplifting trance he decided that Sydney needed more of this music and after receiving rave reviews from his
friends for his awesome mixes he started hitting the decks to master his craft.
His logo comes from his motto "Soar like an eagle on the wings of our music" which sums up how he wants his crowds to feel when he plays his style of music.
About two decades ago he released his first official CD called Ruby Trance Vol. 1 and wanted to celebrate the milestone with a gig at a small underground-style club called the Milkbar.
With his background in theatre (where he got his nickname) and lighting design, he had the perfect mix to accompany his music with striking laser shows that left partygoers in awe.
The more he played, the more popular he became and the more extravagant his parties became, hosting specially themed gigs such as Ruby and the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Ruby on Cloud Nine, 1001 Ruby Nights, Ruby in Space and many, many more. DJ Ruby has travelled around the country bringing his mix of uplifting trance to infamous gigs such as Sydney Mardi Gras (main event & recoveries), Tropical Fruits NYE parties & Trance on the Harbour to name a few.
On Gaydream Island, Ruby, amongst many DJ sets throughout the island, will create our Jungle Party theme to blend into the lush green rainforests that surround the resort, bringing out your inner Tarzan, Jane or Cheeta.
