Joe Miller is a DJ and producer with a collage-inspired mixing style and a fascination with the idea of evoking a sense of place through music. The past few years have seen him play in Berlin, New York, Tokyo, Chicago, London, and Saigon on the back of solo and collaborative releases through labels like All Day I Dream, Bedrock, Hoomidaas, Nie Wieder Schlafen, and Traum.
His new solo EP – ‘Planet E is Far Away’ – is uncharacteristically introspective, following Viriginia Woolf’s approach of exploring fundamentally human experiences through personal, idiosyncratic ones. His set will involve a hybrid synthesiser/multi-deck format and include tracks from this upcoming EP inspired by British psychedelia, Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poetry, and the naive optimism of the 90s electronic scene.

Pjenné is a direct line to the underground. The Naarm/Melbourne-based DJ, radio broadcaster, curator and label manager is a gateway to leftfield ambient, dance and electronica from her home and around the world.
The PhD graduate’s foundation in academia lends a thoughtful, meticulous and considered approach to her work. While her musical style takes many forms, the psychedelic sounds from the expanses of the southern bush influence and inject themselves into elements of her mixes. Trance, progressive, mesmerising, and hypnotic selections have landed her multiple bookings at iconic local festivals such as Inner Varnika, Strawberry Fields and Golden Plains and give her cachet for extended international club sets and invitations to contribute to revered mix platforms including INVEINS, Sure Thing, Oddyssy and Harmony Rec. Pjenné is well-versed in personable and intimate settings and can weave IDM, cerebral and downtempo tracks into brain massaging narratives which make her a skillful selector and storyteller.
She feeds this curiosity through her weekly community radio show and her label, Companion — co-managed with Milly Davison (aka Millú). Companion is an exploration in ethereal 90s electronica, psychedelic IDM, and meditative leftfield sounds. Pjenné’s weekly Passing Notes show is where she can further explore sonic oddities and seek refuge from today’s highly curated music industry. Passing Notes is a raw, live, sonic journal that acts as a platform serving and highlighting the diversity of electronic music makers and the underground community that supports it. A holistic approach motivates Pjenné’s work. It’s all about the context of sound: the intricacies and projections that come with outdoor performances and how rhythm, texture and atmospherics create tension. How they fill and create space for human connection, to drift away or to dance.

Only a small number of composers in the electronic music realm share Jamie Stevens' consistency, humility and generativity. His career spans the birth of double-ARIA-winning band Infusion to his current creative marathon (with a slew of singles, remixes and EPs on major electronic labels, a debut performance in Córdoba, and an endless schedule of mastering and mentoring).
His recent releases include multiple Beatport number ones: Rivers [Late Night Music], Low Tide (with Zankee Gulati) [Bedrock], and a collaborative remix with Hernan Cattaneo of Callecat & Nick Varon - Beyond Perceptions [Manual]. Jamie is heavily in demand as a remixer, with recent work for artists including Kasey Taylor, Barry Jamieson, Navar and Luke Chable. He has made three appearances on recent Balance compilations, and he begins 2025 with a release on Atish and Mark Slee's iconic Manjumasi imprint, including a remix by Öona Dahl.
“I love the sense of community in a club environment, where the music becomes physical and the event becomes an experience. To be able to contribute to that soundtrack is exciting.” - Jamie Stevens.
