Two MacMasters Beach brothers will attempt to kick start an exciting new chapter in their DJing careers when they perform at The Greenwood Hotel in Sydney on Sunday, August 3, as part of the Your Shot DJ competition.

Luke and Bryce Davey, who perform under the apt banner of ‘Daveys’, will face off with other finalists from NSW as they look to impress a host of attending industry personalities. Younger brother Bryce is currently completing Year 12 at St Edwards College and, at 18-years-old, is one of the competition’s youngest contestants. Luke, who is 11 years older than Bryce, works in construction and laughed when asked who had creative control out of the two, acknowledging they both had different styles.

“It’s about trying to find a good medium between the two of us,” he said. Having already received six weeks of DJ training as part of their involvement in the competition, Luke said they had learnt everything from music structure to reading the crowd.

With the winners of the 2013 competition receiving a host of prizes including their own set at music festival Stereosonic and opportunities to play at clubs overseas, Luke said he fully understands the importance of a good performance. “This is the start, you can’t get any bigger than this,” he said.
