Biography Jesse Thomas Desenberg started working as a DJ, Kid Kenobi, in 1996 in Sydney playing the clubs and festivals circuit. Kenobi later recalled, "after the rave culture had sort of died in the early '90s and the scene had gone back to the clubs. So it was a mix of stuff: house, techno, the tail end of big beat and trip hop and drum'n'bass obviously." The staff writers later described his era, "Breaks was big business in the first few years of the awards ... [he] was arguably the genre's king, proudly flying the breakbeat flag for Australia at home and abroad."
