Lineup:
DJ JNETT
Inarguably one of Australia’s biggest house luminaries, Naarm/Melbourne native Janette Pitruzzello has been spinning records and creating heat in Melbourne’s music industry since the early 90s. JNETT is someone whose formidable technical skill and encyclopaedic musical knowledge are matched only by her radiant positive energy. From countless sweaty club throwdowns both home and abroad, to folkloric festival closing sets (see Inner Varnika: IYKYK), JNETT is someone who has truly transcended cult status into the stuff of legend!
RAMI IMAM
Rami Imam’s latest offering sees the rising Melbourne-based artist establish his experimental sound in a compelling way.
Imam’s global influences span many genres including disco, funk, rai, highlife, house, and electronic. This diverse range of inputs, combined with cultural influences from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, all contribute to the rich texture and pulsating tempo of his latest work. The result is a vibrant, melodic melting pot that is designed to be felt and connected with on dancefloors and in headphones alike. Imam’s music makes the feet move and the mind wander.
DJ MATAB
DJ Matab is a Palestinian producer, radio host (PBS FM Dounya Show in Melbourne and Radio AlHara Al Zaytouna Show in Bethlehem, Palestine) and DJ.
You can find him playing in his resident city of Melbourne / Naarm and around the world in many cities such as Ibiza, Tokyo, NYC, Rome and more.
His sound blends Middle Eastern roots with global sounds and rhythms under the banner of Dounya meaning "world" in Arabic.
He is the creator and host of Dounya El Disco parties that bring together Arabic, Turkish, Afro and Mediterranean grooves.
BOYD KELLY
Boyd Kelly is a DJ dedicated to preserving and evolving DJ culture, known for weaving the infectious vibes of 90s house and 70s disco into funky, high-energy sets and productions.
His deep commitment to vinyl digging and crate building creates unique, soulful experiences on the dance floor.
Boyd’s innovative audio-visual shows, like those at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, push the boundaries of traditional DJing while celebrating its rich history.
His love for groove ensures every set is a journey through tracks you’ve never heard but can’t live without.
