My next guest on Yax Invites is Ollie Strong, a DJ based in Naarm (Melbourne).

Ollie Strong is the co-founder of the event series Static. Through Static he has been fortunate enough to play host to international artists such as Remco Beekwilder, Anetha, DJ Gigola and Janein. Outside of Static he has been invited to play for a multitude of events series and clubs across Naarm. Showcasing his style of new school groove riddled techno blended with old school bangers and new age trance techno hybrids.

The influence from artists such as Phara, D.Dan and Stef Mendesidis is very apparent in his 3 deck, 1.5 hour mix that showcases everything he loves about techno as of late. Starting off groovy and transcending into an emotional trancey state he aims to keep pushing this style in his djing and eventually production.

Yax Invites #027 - Ollie Strong

CX580 is a new creative alias of Damon Bradley, one that protects, elevates, and nurtures old school trance, some modern takes on trance, and the intimate connections trance has with techno. CX580 is light to complement the dark spaces of techno. CX580 aims to unify all the genres under the "electronic" genre, with a mind towards elevating the hearts and spirits of the last remaining souls on the dancefloor. CX580 down-to-earth, unapologetic and relentless with his presentation of trance, hardtrance and techno in between.

Damon Bradley is a veteran electronic music enthusiast, DJ and promoter. Originally from Philly, Damon is the creator of TechnoFist, Katalyst, and is one of the creators of SEQUENCE.

Damon has opened for the likes of Shifted, Ben Damage, Exos, and Phase, and closed for legends such as Jeff Mills, Luke Slater, Perc, Tommy Four Seven, Headless Horseman, Stranger, Milton Bradley, and The Gods Planet. Damon's favorite spot in the lineup is closing- always wanting to leave a strong, energetic impression for the last remaining zombies on the dance floor.

Damon’s influences span a broad spectrum of electronic music, ranging from ambient to industrial techno, groovy and soulful house, and melodic progressive trance. He curates the TechnoFist Facebook Group, which was created in 2013 and now is a community that has over 3000 members.

In 2016, Damon teamed up with Ron Jackson, Jacob Knibb, Associate and Juana to form SEQUENCE, an ambitious underground techno event series in Washington DC.

SPOKEN045 - Bailey Ibbs

Bailey Ibbs is a connoisseur when it comes to UK-centric sound and modern-day rave aesthetic. 

His diverse sets are exploring various forms of electronic music, while also releasing productions that receive appreciation from long serving industry greats. Tracks from his Volta EP have been played by numerous artists in the last weeks, including at our own event. 

The return of clubbing has drawn mr. Ibbs onto notable line-ups at Fold, Fabric, Arsenal and HIDDEN. Since the end of the pandemic, he has made some serious steps and will most likely go very far. We are very pleased to have him on the 45th episode of our mix series. 

Enjoy!

Whilst @daniwhy-lie may not be familiar to London audiences, it’s certainly not the case in the South West of England where she is rapidly building a name for herself.

A DJ and selector, Dani’s energy and onstage presence moves through a captivating mix of genres from underground bass-driven dance music to techno, house, breaks, psytrance, electro and more.

Raised in Bath but currently immersed in underground electronic music culture in Bristol and London, which has lead to residencies with Bristol's most inclusive and progressive brands. Dani prides herself on working with promoters that create parties that promote queer expression and sex positive safe havens that are constantly pushing the boundaries in electronic music and our culture. 

Dani Whylie has recorded an exclusive mix for our DETECT series - you can listen now on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Morgan Elder w/ Twelve Seven - August 2022

Volume 03 of the Northern Groove Association Podcast comes from London based rising star PAIGE.

PAIGE made her entrance into the music industry co-running and curating event
and label, Night Service Records. Her approach to DJing draws influence from her dance-floor experiences and crossing club-focused genres frequently. Her energetic style often involves combining tribal infused tracks with groovier, harder techno sounds.

As well as recently curating a takeover on HÖR Berlin, following her debut late last year, she has also played regular shows on KINDRED radio, Rinse FM, Balamii, Munich based Radio 80k and Foundation Fm, as well as various other streams and events in clubs and venues including Fold, Tate Britain, Renate Berlin, Corsica Studios, Patterns, and Phonox.

We are thrilled to be welcoming PAIGE to make her debut for the Northern Groove Association at the DBA on 10/09/22 and based on this funky tribal infused mix, we can't wait to hear what she will unleash.
