Bio
Shell Shock (real name Michelle Bourke, she/her) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based DJ, party host and curator known for her energetic, genre-blending approach to electronic music. Her sets move fluidly across disco, house, bush techno, peak-time techno, hardgroove and hard dance, combining playful, high-energy selections with emotional and nostalgic elements. She’s known for bringing a groovy, melodic and psychedelic edge to the dancefloor, crafting sets that are both uplifting and driving. Shell Shock has performed widely across Melbourne’s club circuit at venues like Revolver Upstairs, My Aeon, New Guernica and Onesixone, as well as festivals including Esoteric Festival and Aetheria Festival (Darwin). She has also played internationally in Japan and New Zealand, and featured on radio platforms such as Kiss FM Australia, Area3000 and Hope St Radio. Beyond DJing, she is actively involved in the scene as an event organiser in Naarm and serves as Brand Manager for the techno collective “150 BPM Events”, contributing to Melbourne’s underground community.
