Decktektive, also known as Stefan Cusack away from the table, represented Victoria at the Australian DMC DJ Championships on Saturday, September 14.
While falling short in the six-minute battle, his mission in advancing his local area in Melbourne’s hip hop scene goes well beyond one night.
A DJ for over 14 years, Deckteckitve is proud to hail from Werribee and is intent on putting the area that he has lived in for 27 years on his shoulders.
While the hip hop scene in Wyndham is primarily underground at the moment, Decktektive always has his ears open and on the search for local talent.
“I like to see new, up-and-comers freestyle and people getting better at their craft,” he said.
“It always keeps you on the cusp of new talent.”
While describing himself as warm and friendly, Decktektive is also out there to win.
“It’s all a show, we’re all friends, but it’s also like I’m going to town on my competitors, too.”
