I’m Giraffayye, a DJ and producer originally from Australia and now based in Manchester. The name came from my first ever set in a friend’s kitchen, when someone joked I looked like a giraffe behind the decks—and it stuck. I started DJing properly two years ago after winning a major DJ competition in Australia, and I’ve been producing for about the same time. Since moving to Manchester, I’ve immersed myself in its vibrant scene, building a style rooted in house, tech house, disco and techno.
