The Drop with TorqueDj Exclusive mix from Dj Meltdown #7



It all began for Rainer Kazmiersky aka DJ Meltdown way back in 1999 when he started out playing at local house parties around Christchurch, from there he grew an undeniable love for the party styles & sounds of Drum and Bass and still to this day easily remains one of the most passionate & energetic players in the game!
A couple years later he joined up with Vex, Tyler and Triple B for the Project Mayhem Thursday night Drum & Bass Sessions at Base, and also played at a handfull of Dose's Co-Wrekt & Pure Promotion nights before moving to Melbourne in 2004.
His first Melbourne gig was for the Kombat Bass crew and their Easter special in 2006 which also led to an appearance on their Bassdrive Radio show that same year. Since then he's played a few local nights, and as of recently has really started to make his mark on the Melbourne DnB scene landing sets at Roxannes, Miss Libertines, Nightowl & Brown alley supporting the likes of Dose, Drumsound, B-Complex, Phace, Chris Su, Dom & Roland, Brookes Brothers, London Electricity & Icicle for some of Melbourne's most respected promoters.
He has been representing Drum & Bass on Melbourne's Kiss Fm 87.6-88.0 since April 2010 with The Rewind Show, starting off at 3-5am Tuesday mornings, doing the hard yard saw the show shift to Sunday nights 10:30 - Midnight.
Rainer's undeniable passion, ability to stay true to his own style and years of hard work which many seem to forget these days... has rightfuly earned him his place as one of Melbourne's most respected Djs.
Expect no less than big things to come from the one affectionately refered to as "The Rainman"
