Michael Gray is a renowned DJ from Croydon in London, who rose to fame with his 2004 smash hit The Weekend.<\/p>\n
The high energy dance track received global acclaim after its release, with the international hit quickly rising to #14 on the ARIA charts and becoming a Top 10 hit in Gray\u2019s native UK.<\/p>\n
22 years later, and the love for house music remains just as strong in Gray.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love the buzz of making a record in the studio and then playing it out and watching a really good reaction,\u201d the DJ exclusively revealed to PerthNow.<\/p>\n
\u201cI only make records for the dancefloor, I don\u2019t make records for the radio per se but if they do end up on the radio, that\u2019s just a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
In March, the house music legend will land in Western Australia, ready to party it up in the port city of Fremantle.<\/p>\n

Although Gray has performed in Australia before, the 2026 gig marks his debut performance west side \u2014 a feat he revealed he \u201ccan\u2019t wait\u201d for.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really pumped about coming to Oz,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been to Australia before, albeit probably about 15 years ago, in fact maybe even 20 years ago, so this makes this very exciting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing Sydney and Melbourne again, but this is the first time I have ever come to Perth and I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gray counts WA\u2019s very own Dr Packer, a legendary DJ who has been a cornerstone of Perth\u2019s house music scene since the 1980s, as a good friend and collaborator.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Dr Packer has been unreal \u2014 we work very well together and it goes to show the talent you have in Perth,\u201d Gray said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve never worked in the same studio at the same time, so he will start off a project and then I will finish it, then I\u2019ll send it back to him to check and vice versa.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut nowadays with technology, we can both work in separate studios from the other side of the world. He has very, very similar taste to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gray will be joined by producer powerhouse Francois K, a former Studio 54 DJ who gained global acclaim for his remixes with artists like Diana Ross, U2, and Coldplay.<\/p>\n
The show kicks off on Sunday, March 1 at Freo Social as part of their 10th Birthday of Dancing in Space celebrations.<\/p>\n
The venue will feature a 360 degree stage as well as live projections throughout the performances.<\/p>\n
