Club Elevate 052 — Airwolf Paradise | From Behind The Lens To Behind The Decks
Airwolf Paradise joins Club Elevate for episode 52. The Melbourne-based DJ, producer, photographer and now label head sits down with host Ricky Nord at Solace Bar, tracing a creative journey that started with a camera at Melbourne club nights and grew into one of Australian dance music's most quietly impressive portfolios.
They cover the origin story of a wedding DJ dad, the years documenting Melbourne's underground scene through the Airwolf Paradise Archives, working in the Sweat It Out office alongside the late Ajax, becoming Dom Dolla's content guy and tour manager through his global rise, and the story of Don't Hurt Me Baby — a two-minute demo sent to Patrick Topping's Trick label that changed everything.
A conversation about patience, passion, and what it actually takes to back yourself when the odds aren't looking good.
