Strange Cadence is an independent record label and event series run by @Middle-James, dedicated to showcasing the intersection of jazz, deep house, techno and leftfield electronic. Based in Sydney, the label is driven by a passion for groove-rich productions and live performances where musicality takes center stage.

For this episode of the Strange Cadence Radio mix series, we’re thrilled to feature Berlin-based, Australian-grown selector @thilini_music. 

With a deep love for rhythm and an instinctive sense of flow, Thilini delivers a mix that embodies her trademark balance of precision and soul. Flowing seamlessly through deep, groove-driven house, Thilini’s mix blends cherished favourites, hidden gems, and selections from close friends - a heartfelt reflection of the communities and sounds that have shaped her journey from Eora/Sydney to Berlin.

Tune in and let Thilini guide you through her sound world — intelligent, fluid, and always moving forward.

Strange Cadence w/ Thilini - 24.10.25

What's your middle name?

Thilini, Berlin based, Sydney grown purveyor of house grooves.

With a musical mind that is both innovative and artistic and an infectious appreciation for sound, Thilini is an ever-growing force in underground circles. 

Originally from Brisbane and drawn to the pulse of Sydney, Thilini’s early days saw her spinning iconic Australian events like Breakfast Club, SASH and Subsonic Music Festival and holding a residency with Sydney's influential Mantra Collective crew. Through her own FLUX events, she brought international heavyweights like Archie Hamilton, Julian Perez, and Cristi Cons to Brisbane for the first time, driven by a vision to reshape the city’s musical landscape and educate the dance floor.

Now in Berlin, Thilini is carving out her space in one of the world’s most competitive club scenes. She’s found her rhythm at cult-favourite venues like Sisyphos, Heideglühen, Club der Visionäre, and Renate. Her sets are a showcase of versatility and deep crate-digging, weaving together groove-heavy house, minimal, UKG, breakbeat, and more, all while reflecting her understanding of music as a conversation that’s constantly evolving and never predictable.

Her reach stretches across the Atlantic too. Since 2021, Thilini has become a regular in New York’s revered house scene, holding an international residency with Golden Record NYC and contributing to the sound curation behind the scenes. Always on the hunt for intelligent beats that move the dance floor, she continues to push boundaries with a subtle but undeniable energy that pulls people in.

And her influence extends beyond the decks. A dedicated advocate for equality in the music industry, Thilini is working to build a more inclusive, equitable scene. Through thoughtful programming, amplifying underrepresented voices, as well as advocacy and education efforts, she’s helping drive meaningful change. For her, music is as much about community as it is about sound.

Her journey is far from over. Keep an ear to the (under)ground, big things are on the horizon for Thilini.

Walker (Aust)
South East Queensland, Australia

As a multi-talented presence in QLD’s music landscape, Walker resists genre-defining labels and channels the spirit of openness that was once the default in electronic music.

Walker’s talent breathes its way through his musical output. “Music is always evolving, nothing stands still....And that’s exactly how I like it”.

His artistic perspective comes from a life thoroughly lived, and his talent comes from an obsession in finding a way to express it.

Walker has played for iconic venues and established brands that are the backbone of the Australian dance music ecosystem. Elsewhere (Gold Coast), SASH (Brisbane & Sydney), Bodywork (Sydney), Dragonfruit (Brisbane), Lemon & Lime (Brisbane), SummerLoop (Brisbane), OneSixOne (Melbourne), Storyville (Melbourne), Method Project @ Sussudio (Sydney), Deep Cargo (Melbourne) and many more. A career that has spanned just over a decade.

“My first loves will always be house, disco and techno, and that’s what I’ve become known for, but there’s much more freedom when we paint outside of the lines, and find a way to forge all of my tastes into the one cohesive groove set. Stripped back, quirky, vibrant, colourful, I am looking to deliver unique dance floor experiences”, he explains in a recent interview with the Dance Culture Vibe podcast.

Walker approached the industry by creating events that cater to a more niche audience in his earlier days. These events, called "Sookyfuq" (ran in conjunction with Impact Events) provided a safe haven across QLD and Northern NSW for house & techno enthusiasts to enjoy a more pure experience in a region not typically known for traditional house and techno music. When asked why he feels compelled to manage events, build the scene’s infrastructure and nurture new talent, Walker is of the view that “A rising tide lifts all boats”. 

His deep house releases on Buxton have been guided in part by label owner Adam Swain. The two have shared endless discussions on how meaning is created through music and the way in which Buxton bring it to their releases. One of Walker's releases via Buxton Records, "Love generated through perseverance" received some high profile air time by world-class DJ & Producer, Dennis Ferrer, during one of his Boiler Room sets. [https://youtu.be/4L4Q1Oj1ZdI?t=2744]

Walker enjoys a DJ residency each month at his local social club, Elsewhere. "This is my favourite room and booth to play in the country! In my opinion, it is one of the top 5 clubs in Australia. Not many clubs sit in that top tier of club-royalty in Australia for consistency audiences, years of operation and music policy". Elsewhere is a venue that he considers to be the Gold Coast creative hub where “My relationships, profile and creative brain are tickled each week!”.

A talented musician and a vital presence.

Supports: PACH (UK), Doorly (UK), Hernan Cattaneo (Argentina), Sunshine (Melbourne), DJ Steaw (France), Jay Shepheard (London), Steve Bug (Germany), Roy Davis Jnr (Chicago), Egbert (Netherlands), Jozif (London), Marcus Worgull (Köln), Riva Starr (London), Michael Mayer (Germany), Santé (Berlin), Little Fritter (Gold Coast), Philip Bader (Berlin), DJ T (Berlin) & and the Cocoon Heroes (Seth Troxler, Magda, Sven Vath & Ritchie Hawtin) at the Brisbane leg of the Future Music Festival 2013.
