ARIA DJ Of The Week: Minx

Get to know one of the darlings of the Australian club scene.

Following on from her previous House anthems ‘What Lovers Do’, ‘All Because of You’ and ‘Hold On’, the Darling of Australia’s club scene 'Minx' (Rachel Phillips) is back with a brand new single 'Nothing But Love'. Taking a fresh and deeper approach to her production style, ‘Nothing But Love’ moves away from Minx’s usual hands in the air, feel good sound and showcases a deeper side to her taste, combining soft and floaty vocals with an emotional yet bouncy groove. Co-produced with Chris Arnott (Heaven, What Lovers Do, Hold On...) ‘Nothing But Love’ went in strong to the ARIA Club singles chart and includes remixes by Kaiser Walden, James Winter & Boogie Knights.

Minx’s singles have fallen into the hands of many iconic artists over the years, with remixes from greats such as Motez, Kormak, Filter Bear, Andy Murphy, Olsen, Sarah Main & Sonny Fodera to name a few.

Touring the globe is nothing new for Minx. A regular in Ibiza, Minx has played at exclusive Ibiza nightclubs Pacha, Café Mambo, Blue Marlin and headlined the Dalt Vila IMS Finale Party with her iconic Balearic sets. Minx has also performed in Paris, L.A, London, Manila, Singapore and more, DJ’ing alongside the likes of Pete Tong, Seth Troxler, Deadmau5 and Erick Morillo. Minx has spun at the Grammy Awards after-party in LA at Capitol Records, and the Brit Awards in London playing tunes to the likes of Coldplay & The Gorillaz.

Minx’s footprint on home soil is just as strong as she is worldwide, headlining premium nightclubs such as Pacha, Goodbar, Electric Circus, Laruche and Family. The Australian festival circuit has been graced with Minx on lineups across the country including Stereosonic Festival every year since its launch, V Fest, Parklife, Good Vibes and Future Music festivals.

A keen contributor to the local dance music scene, Minx shares her more underground music tastes as alias ‘Rachel May’ on Bondi Radio every Wednesday from 5pm.
