TOUR ESSENTIALS: DOORLY

17 December 2015 | 11:03 am | Staff Writer

Before he touches down in Aus, we asked DOORLY what he just needs to have on tour. You can view his Tour Essentials below:

House master and Purple Sneakers favourite DOORLY is almost back in our country for another summer tour. Clearly the guy likes the heat here, as this tour almost at the exact same time as his 2014 Aus trip.

2015 has been one of the biggest years for the LA/London based producer, with a number of singles, two tracks and the like being released sporadically through taste-making labels like Toolroom, Dirtybird, Cajual, Hot Creations and more. So expect some of DOORLY's most refined and club oriented tracks to burn into your brain very soon.

Full Size Pillow from My Bed at home

"Usually on these crazy tours there isn’t much time for sleep. Its usually airport, car, hotel (for a shower), gig, afterparty, airport, repeat! So I need to be able to sleep when and wherever I get a chance, and hope to accumulate a few hours over the day. Having a massive cushion that smells like home is my secret weapon for grabbing those precious zzz’s in even the most uncomfortable places."

Laptop

"Boring answer I know, but I couldn't do anything without my laptop! It’s my studio, my business, my entertainment, and often my girlfriend when times get hard haha. I tour so much these days that I make all of my music on it otherwise I just wouldn't ever get anything done. I’m pretty much attached to it 24 hours a day other than when I’m actually on stage which is the only place I don't want to see a laptop."

Evermix

"My gigs right now are the best they’ve ever been, insane things are happening all the time so I like to record most of my sets for prosperity and as something to give back to the fans. Over the summer I was beta testing this amazing new platform called Evermix which is kind of a new version of Soundcloud that comes with a little box that helps to record directly from the mixer into an app in your phone. I love it and you can check out regular live sets from me here: evermix.fm/dj/doorly"

Hard Drives

"I carry round 2 x Iosafe rugged Portable SSD 1TB hard drives for my gigs and back up. They’re the most reliable, fastest and most solid hard drives I’ve ever used. They can be dropped in the ocean, ran over with a tank, thrown off a building and will literally still work. However, I still carry back up SD cards as well in case they somehow get defeated one day!"

Mophie Powerpack

"For my iPhone. Is it just me or do all iPhone batteries seem to last about 10 minutes these days? I’m constantly travelling so this is vital to give me a fighting chance as my phone is often my lifeline when I’m stranded in a weird country in which I don’t speak the lingo!"
