Caity Watson ⋆˙⟡

The energy of this dancefloor was insane! 💚 Thanks Radio Bar for having us for the 150 BPM Events launch and thanks to the epic raverzzz for coming out to dance on the coldest day in Melb!

150 BPM LAUNCH PARTY @ RADIO BAR

How surreal to play the 4-5am slot for Shadows @ Revolver Upstairs :') Shadows is especially perfect as the focus is on my very favourite kind of techno - dark and hypnotic. I'm over the moon with how well the crowd received the journey I created <3

Thank you to each and every one of you who came to support me at such a late time slot! (Especially my bestie who surprised me by flying interstate for this gig). It felt amazing to have such a crew there with me and to have my number ones on stage with me. 

Thank you for this incredible opportunity @WISER.

SHADOWS @ REVOLVER UPSTAIRS 4AM

Getting to play this outdoors was something else !! And this crowd was absolutely nuts !! This hard & fast turbo rave mix travels through industrial hard techno, a bunch of French hard techno/rave, some silly remixes and schranz ⋆

Thank you Saltare Melbourne for having me on the prime time slot for your doof and letting me have the freedom to do what I want !! You guys did a phenomenal job of organising this ⋆

SALTARE DOOF 4 (HARD DANCE)



This set is full of evil, twisted, heavy sounds layered with hard groove/tribal techno then ascends to full rave mode! I hope it's enjoyable 🧚🏻‍♂️

Thank you for everyone who supported me during the stresses of the technical difficulties during the set! Onward and upward 🖤

RAVE CAVE X 150 @ REVOLVER UPSTAIRS [Dark Techno]

CAITY WATSON | SS 69 | DARK & HYPNOTIC TECHNO & HARD GROOVE DJ SET | Melbourne/Naarm - May 31 / 2024

CAITY WATSØN is a DJ and upcoming live modular synth artist in Naarm/Melbourne.

With 15 years experience working in the music industry and having studied Sound Engineering & Music Production, Caity has lived and breathed music since she played the tennis racquet at age 10; right before she began her journey with her first guitar.

Grateful for Australia’s thriving scene, Caity has had the honour of playing at Revolver Upstairs, My Aeon, Tempo Club (QLD), New Guernica, Esoteric Festival (Theme Camp), Brown Alley, Rubix Warehouse, Revolver Lane, Melbourne Pavilion, 524 Flinders, The Gaso & more.

In 2023, Caity was signed as a Track08 artist and was voted into Victoria’s top 5 ‘Best DJ’s. Recently, Caity headlined interstate and locally, was interviewed by Area 3000, Sacred Raving, Positive Education and AUCH (Chile) and did guest mixes for Music Victoria, Kiss FM, Soul Sessions, Anomalie Collective & Proponent Records.

She is also the founder & director of Naarm techno event series ‘150 BPM’ and ‘150% Live’, a radio host for Area 3000’s ‘Rave Cave’ show and co-host of ‘Tunnel Vision & Friends’ events.

Caity’s truest form of musical expression lies within dark and heavy hypnotic techno. By layering her signature eerie, twisted and oscillating sounds with her backbone of reliable hefty kicks and clever repetitions of raw and modular patterns, Caity creates what she calls ‘evil groove’, leaving her crowd to wonder how many hours have past – what their names are – and what just happened.

With her sets being improvised almost all the time now, reading the room is Caity’s number one guide. Her sets are progressive, heavy, careful and more-ish, with a touch of silliness or surprise when it calls for it.

Selections outside of Caity’s niche can range from booty shakin’ disco to funky or acid house and UK garage, to deeply melodic techno or hard groove, to acid or industrial techno, to blending trance-infused techno and hard dance tracks with pure femme sass.

Caity’s love for the raw modular sound has been taken further recently, with her learning live hardware only techno. All live, all improvised synth sets are soon to be added to her repertoire.

Tilt Shift sits firmly left of center, a difficult-to-label square peg that unintentionally fails to fit a pigeonhole. Borrowing from the photography term, Tilt Shift refers to two different types of movement, a selective focus with a large depth of field used to control perception. This can be applied to our music policy, tilting the vertical axis resulting in a sharp area of focus without reducing the depth of field. The selective focus that can be achieved by both tilting and shifting movements, It's compelling because the effect is different from that which you may have become accustomed to. This movement is often used to avoid the convergence of parallel lines, or as we have come to think of it, it’s where the lines blur.

You can listen to the full segment including interviews with Ryan McDougall from Proponent Records & myself on the Positive Education SoundCloud & Mixcloud.

KISS FM 100TH EP (POSITIVE EDUCATION) Experimental Techno

absolute madness at black noir !

i can't describe the feeling of having 2 hours of my truest sound appreciated at a show dedicated to just that - my sound! 🧚‍♂️

this experience was the feeling of complete freedom ~ and it was insane to witness the reception on some of the most evil droney industrial stuff i have too, some of which have never seen the light of day as it's never felt right. 

you guys absolutely went there with me and i cannot thank you enough 🫶

BLACK NOIR HEADLINE SET SYDNEY (Industrial/Groove)

BKiND Round 49: https://soundcloud.com/caitywatson

"Hello :) I'm Caity Watson, a predominantly techno artist from Naarm/Melbourne. I've been looking forward to the challenge that creating this set would bring as I've found hypnotic techno to be the hardest of all my styles to find femme produced tracks in. I did find it harder this time than some other 100% femme sets I've done to make this one cohesive, so I'm glad I did it.  

This set was so satisfying to make as deep, twisted, hypnoooootic techno is the style closest to my heart and I rarely get to play so hypnotic out in clubs. 

I want to highlight two artists from Melb in this set - https://soundcloud.com/disgrays & https://soundcloud.com/laskmusic ! Disgrays produces some of the craziest fast music I've ever heard and her tracks are important ingredients for my 'Fairy Ring' dark psy/experimental techno project. Lask, I watched play years ago in 2017 in Melb before I was a DJ. She moved to Berlin and now she's performing live on hardware and her productions and their meanings are beautiful. 

It was also crucial to include https://soundcloud.com/yazmin_mt ! I am absolutely rinsing her entire new EP on the Beaufort Beats label in so many sets I play. 

All the artists featured have incredible productions. I hope you like the mix! "
