Introducing Chef Mike 🎧🍳 @djchefmike live @captainsipsops

Making his debut on BUZZCUTS RADIO, Chef Mike brings a world of global influence behind the decks—born in Watford, raised in Portugal, shaped by Manchester, and now based right here on the Sunshine Coast! 🌊🎧

His journey into underground dance music started in Portugal, surrounded by mates building their own local scene. But it was his time in Manchester’s legendary club culture that flipped the switch from passionate listener and record collector to jumping behind the decks himself 🎛️🔥

While house is at the heart of his sound, Mike’s record collection spans everything from minimal, UKG, and breaks to disco, funk, and DnB. The ultimate rule? It’s all about the groove 🕺🥁

Since landing in Australia, he’s become a key figure in the local music community, co-founding Soundtrips @soundtrips_ and bringing people together through their popular Vinyl Lounge series—combining vinyl DJs, local record stores, vintage sellers, and great food 🍕 vinyl & good vibes included!

And as for his worst trim? Walking into a random barber in Carlisle and walking out with an uneven bowl cut so tragic, the next barber fixed it for free 🥣✂️😭

Digging deep for records and bringing pure heat, here’s Chef Mike in the mix! 🔊🔥

Imagine floating in crystal-blue Hervey Bay… heart racing… as a wild humpback turns beneath you and comes closer. 🐋💙

No chasing. Engines off. We wait.

Then the whales choose us.

That feeling — seeing a giant of the ocean glide towards the boat, hearing the blow, watching the water explode with energy — is absolutely next level. This is not just whale watching. It’s the kind of day you will talk about for years.

Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Brisbane and Fraser Coast crew: our final @geoffaquino x @saltysafaris.herveybay Whale Experience for 2026 is happening on the public holiday / LONG WEEKEND:

✨️ Monday, 5 October, spots are limited
🛟 8:00 am and 1:00pm departures

I’ll be onboard capturing the action from incredible perspectives while Salty Safaris brings you into the heart of one of Australia’s most unforgettable whale encounters.

If this has been on your bucket list, this is the one. Final departure. Limited seats. Once they’re gone, that’s it for 2026.

Tap the link in my bio and book your place now. Let’s make it a day to remember. 🌊

Looks like someone’s asking for a belly rub… 🐋😂💙

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to moments like this. Seeing a humpback roll over beneath the drone, showing off that enormous white belly, is just incredible.

Basically a 40-tonne ocean puppy living its best life on the Queensland coast. 🐋🌊

Be honest… who else would be tempted to give that belly a rub? 😂👇

THIS COULD BE YOU. 🐋🌊

Look closely at that second photo. The whales are right there… and those people in the water could be you.

After two absolutely mind-blowing Geoff Aquino x Salty Safaris Whale Experiences, we’re opening the remaining dates — and September is almost gone.

🐋 11 SEPTEMBER — ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT
🔥 12 SEPTEMBER — SOLD OUT / WAITLIST
🌊 5 OCTOBER — AM & PM SPOTS AVAILABLE

Our first experiences delivered mothers and calves, pods of male humpbacks, dolphins, breaches, tail slaps, pec slaps and extraordinary close encounters — with every passenger getting the opportunity to swim with the whales.

There are never guarantees with wildlife, but when conditions and whale behaviour allow, you could be the next person in that water.

Small groups. Big encounters. One seriously unforgettable day in Hervey Bay.

👉 BOOK NOW — LINK IN BIO.
