Interested in the music industry from a young age and going to his first underage rave at 15, Avarice first began to start spinning vinyl at the age of 19. This inspired his love for of music and eventually brought him to discover a love and passion for the harder styles of dance music. This led him to his first appearance in Adelaide, July 2007 at Forbidden Playground.

With more gigs and good support from his growing army of fans he then went from strength to strength, this led to his own collaborative show with Axiomyx in December 2007 – spawning NeoGenesis Promotions. This groundbreaking show created a lot of hype that sent him spiralling his DJ career into Adelaide's hardcore scene.

Reward for hard work found him with monthly bookings for shows such as Life Starts at 160 Bpm, RvM, Hardcore Extreme, Rhinos Rampage, Corrosion, Puls8, ARC, Hard Dance Adelaide. In support of national and international acts at the acclaimed System 6, Alternate, Infinity Productions, Enchanted crew and PHD Parties many of which in adelaides premeire underground clubs. Not bad results for a self taught hardcore maniac!

NeoGenisis has stepped up a notch in Adelaide bringing international acts such as Dione, T-Junction, Danny Coggin, John Doe with support from and many interstate acts such as Decipher, Weaver Weazel, Kazuki, Danny J and Dj Cotts.
