Women are again almost twice as likely as blokes to have spent 20 hours or more a week on unpaid caring and supervision of kids.

While Klasik is a student of the traditional approach to DJing, he's filtered his veteran skills to a contemporary audience, becoming one of Australia's most celebrated selectors and reliable dancefloor-fillers.
His genre-free approach to DJing means that every performance is specially catered to the crowd, and it's not uncommon to see him weave from rhythmic RnB numbers to hard-headed trap, with a little dancehall detour along the way. Klasik's sets are defined by unexpected mixes, quick cuts, and plenty of action on the microphone; whether he's flying solo or touring alongside his partner-in-crime, Elefant Traks rapper B Wise. He's rocked stages alongside global stars like Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q and The Game; as well as Australian staples like Horrorshow, Thundamentals and Illy but for the real evidence of his skill, catch him behind the decks and feel your feet moving within minutes.
