What the fuck is going on in that cover art? Looks like something crazy from the future has landed and is assuming control

Drop Frame - Sets

REL was the first festival i've DJ'd at since Covid hit and it was incredible to be back on stage in front of such an energetic crowd. Everyone so keen to have a stomp :)

I normally play bass music at REL but this mix is all booty shaking, thumping house. I had a 2 hour slot but 've cut the mix down a bit. 

I never get to play just house music so I have a lot of fun with this one! Nothing eclectic, just bangers. 

Crank it up and have a boogie :D

🔥 ESOTERIC FESTIVAL 🔥
Full video set now up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y64Vh34NAE8

This is my set from the mighty Snakepit stage at 5.30pm on Saturday - Esoteric Festival 2022. What an absolute honour it was to play this incredible stage at this incredible festival. I poured my heart into this set, spanning 50 tracks, multiple tempo changes, multiple genres. 

This is an epic, heavy, emotional, driving set full of massive bass moments, introspection, inspiration and nods to my favourite current producers.

Atleast 6 months of playlisting and around 30 hours of set design, across a full 1h 30m of mayhem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed putting it together and performing it to the amazing crowd on the day.

So much love to the organisers of Esoteric and Snakepit for having me down and letting me experience one of my favourite festivals from both the dancefloor and the stage. We all got to share something magical, something that we wont forget anytime soon. 

Lots of <3 to everyone who was there on the day.

A full video recorded version of this set will be out shortly!
As will a full setlist (most likely with the video release)

This is my reimagining of the incredible ambient track "A Starseed's Journey" by Oliver Koletzki. Combined with elements from a guided meditation session by the late Ram Dass. I felt really inspired by the original and wanted to build upon it in my own way, what resulted is a track I feel is one of my best.

Oliver Koletzki - A Starseed's Journey (Drop Frame Bootleg)

A Mix of some of my favourite Bass heavy tracks i have been playing out and about recently. Drum and Bass all day everyday baby.

Stommpin it out

I was so psyched to be back out on the Paddock at Matong for Burning Seed. I've been pretty head down ass up with work, and as much as I'd have loved to have relived past Burn experiences by arriving as early as possible for set up and as late as possible for pack down, this time around I blew in and out just for the weekend. I had spent some time prepping some music, but hadn't had the time to foster many connections with theme camps, and wasn't sure just how many last minute opportunities to share some beats would present themselves. Thankfully, within an hour of me hitting the paddock, dosing up and dropping in, Maxi and Geoffrey delivered some awesome news. In the middle of the packed Sacred Hearts DF on Saturday sunset, they casually dropped that they were rocking a bass music takeover at Sickest House at dawn, and that I was invited to join.

Sickest House is just that- the sickest house on the paddock. I wandered in that morning and immediately felt the welcoming warmth and excellent taste of it's crew. I'm so grateful and honored to play for this space. I had such an amazing time and won't be forgetting that morning any time soon.

More Seed set uploads (including from Soul Shack) to come soon, as well as my set from Dune 2069.

With Love,

✨👽 HYPERSPACE 👽✨

Super excited to share my set from the amazing Melburn Galactica party (on the Hyperspace stage!) An incredible party and electric dancefloor which was an absolute pleasure to play for.

This set is super high energy, blasting off at a million miles an hour until reaching a electric cruising altitude before lowering the BPM to explore some "out of this world" bass excursions. In classic over-complicated Drop Frame set design - this set spans 44 tracks, 3 channel mixing, custom dj edits/mashups and tempo changes. 

Im stoked with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together and performing it on the day <3

🎉 FUNK FACTORY 🎉

Super excited to share my set from The Funk Factory - an epic day party I recently played at Bourke St Courtyard! I had the rare chance to play an afternoon slot under the beautiful natural sunlight throughout the venue. A big thankyou to Boydex for organising such a vibey day!

This set fires out of the gates fast, with a big initial emphasis on getting those limbs moving and grooving - then it unfurls into a funky psychedelic technicolour bass journey with interlocking melodies and vocals, moving up and down tempos, diving into different emotional landscapes over time.

This is sort of my soundtrack to spring, budding new life, exploration, winter clouds parting, new friendships forming and colour bursting from the winter gloom. A homage to the warmer months ahead with a nod to the colder months in the past.

I'm proud of this one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed playing it on the day.

🔥 BLAZING SWAN 🔥

Very proud to share the first recorded set of 2024 (Esoteric & Album launch sets coming soon!)

I was very grateful to return to Blazing swan after a 5 year hiatus to the same amazing themecamp Abode who very kindly welcomed me back to play the bass night on Sunday on the incredible Traction rig! 

The original Blaze set from 2019 was the first one I uploaded where I felt comfortable of the trajectory of the Drop Frame project as a whole, it was awesome to come back to bring the evolution of the DF sound to this incredible festival. Starting with the first track.. Runestone.

A huge thankyou to the Abode crew for having me down - the friendships I've made over the years in this crew are cherished, cant wait to be back at blaze and to share those dancefloors with you all again real soon.

I was so stoked to be welcomed back to one of my favourite festivals in Australia - Esoteric. An incredibly hot festival - most days getting very close to the 40C degree mark, it was tough going but the community came together and brought an incredible festival experience for us all to share.

This set is one of the most complex ones I've attempted spanning a cool 69 tracks (nice) - it starts with an emphasis towards melody and feeling, increasingly moving up in intensity and along a journey across the hour and a half. I'm really proud of this one and I hope you enjoy what was an incredibly fun set to play on the day. 

A huge thankyou to the Esoteric festival organisers and the incredible Snakepit crew who had me down once again to grace their stage. What an awesome crew doing incredible things for Bass music in Australia.

Drop Frame - Esoteric Festival 2024 (Snakepit)

I've been looking forward to playing this set for long time! 

Welcome to the epic dnb and bass set at the Plasma Canopy!

The "Plasma Canopy" was an incredible art installation at this years Burning seed - 150 mapped LED tubes formed a kelidoscopic canopy above a huge dirt dancefloor. This set was built specifically for this dancefloor in mind - a love letter to my favourite drum and bass tracks of the year - channeling some space and futuristic vibes with a whole lot of booty shaking!

An incredible artwork from the minds at Telekinetik Chair repair!

A cheeky upload of a set I played out bush in Alice Springs for an alien vs cowboy themed party Western Terrestrial. I played after the eclectic Lackluster  (https://soundcloud.com/lacklustermusic), so I transitioned from his progressive house set into what we have here. The set was mixed on the fly to match the vibe of the party. Quite a few cheesy numbers in here.

I also played a sunrise psytrance/progress set which I will likely upload soon enough, and was fortunate enough to play for another few hours throughout the Sunday tearing through some of the older weirder parts of my collection. 

Big love and more sets coming up soon! <3
