Simona Castricum is a musician, producer and broadcaster from Narrm, Melbourne. Emerging from Narrm’s underground rave and club scene in the late ’90s, Simona is a former club DJ across three decades. She’s played festivals Strawberry Fields, Pitch renegades and Gaytimes, to clubs Confide, Miscellania, Fantastic, Hugs&Kisses, Pleasure Planet, Bunker, Death Disco, Trough, Abode, Meccanoid, and Q&A.

In 2009, Simona launched The Shock of the New—a trans club space dedicated to electronic music. She has helped to establish queer and trans musical communities in Narrm, playing techno, house, electro and new beat across the eras.

As a broadcaster on commmunity radio 3RRR, Simona champions intergenerational, genre-bending underground and queer music for drive-time.

Signing to Dinosaur City Records in 2023, Simona collaborates to release music independently through her studio, Trans-Brunswick Express.

As a duo with drummer Anetta Nevin (Dianas, Cars That Ate Paris), Simona drives guitar over synths and drum machines. She’s played Golden Plains, Dark Mofo, VIVID, Sydney World Pride, and Melbourne Music Week, supporting Peaches, Drab Majesty, Lydia Lunch, and !!!. Her music has been remixed by Aérea Negrot, Chiara Kickdrum, and Various Asses, while she has remixed for Courtney Barnett, Cong Josie, Pillow Pro, and Hyrda Fashion Week.

Simona has received multiple Music Victoria Award nominations for Best Solo Artist. Her Panic/Desire and SINK albums were long-listed for the Australian Music Prize. SINK also earned a 2024 AIR Award nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Release.

Holding a PhD from the University of Melbourne, Simona was awarded the Chancellor’s Prize and John Grice Award for her thesis ‘What If Safety Becomes Permanent: Architecture & Music as a Site of Transing’. Her research explores world building, trans spatial production, and queer urban morphologies.
