A message from DJ EverestPosted 10th November 2026As the official game day DJ for the Melbourne Cobras, I delivered live music and crowd engagement across four home fixtures of the Hockey One League, including the first-ever Melbourne Derby. Each game day featured back-to-back Men’s and Women’s matches, with games broadcast live on 7Plus.
My role included:
- Curating and performing a high-energy mix of Indian and English music, including Bollywood, Bhangra, and Indian-sampled pop, to connect with Melbourne’s Indian community and the wider Australian audience - Delivering precisely timed audio cues, including team walkouts, ball patrol and umpire entrances, opposition run-outs, goals, and short corners, following a detailed runsheet - Working alongside Hockey Victoria staff, MCs, and broadcast crew to keep music transitions in sync with announcements and in-game breaks - Playing halftime tracks for live dance and Bhangra performances - Supplying and operating my own professional DJ equipment, connecting to venue sound systems at both Parkville and Bendigo - Adapting quickly to live broadcast conditions, venue changes, and large crowds, including the record-attendance “Super Saturday” event

“DJ Everest joined the Melbourne Cobras for their inaugural season in the Hockey One League. Working at a sporting event provides a different environment and challenge compared to a set at a party, wedding, or club. But DJ Everest was up for the challenge and incredible throughout our 4 home games. He was great to work with, extremely professional, and picked up on the intricacies of DJ'ing a sporting event. We would 100% recommend DJ Everest!”
