Jacking All the Way to the House
Old-school roots, Funky Groovy Jackin' House and a groove that keeps building. My first mix as ROGER 54.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE MIX
My story.
The 54 is a nod to Studio 54 and the Disco era. I grew up through the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, and those records have stayed with me. Today, I mix those influences with Funky Groovy Jackin' House, Nu Disco and Old School House.
Music has been an important part of my recovery after amputation. It helps me with ADHD too, giving my energy and creativity an outlet and a way to connect with people.
I love the moment a familiar track takes a different turn. An old favourite, a new rework, a groove you haven’t heard before. Sharing those discoveries—and connecting with the people behind them—is what keeps me coming back to the music.
I’ve built a van to carry my gear, with enough battery power to take the music off-grid. The goal is to play my way around Australia—meet people, find new places and bring the music with me.
I’m working towards bigger festivals and events, more club sets in Sydney and opportunities around the country. There’s a lot of Australia to explore, and a lot of dance floors I’d love to play.
