David Malefoy is an aspiring DJ and Visual Artist from France, living in Brisbane, Australia.

As a child, he fell in love with the emerging Dance Music and electronic sounds of the 90s. A passion that still drives him more than 30 years later.

His passion revolves mainly around the universe of Techno and Psytrance, and everything in between.
With a special affection for Techno, the genre that resonates with his Heart and Soul, David tends to refine his style into Dark, Intense, Synth-driven, and "Cosmic" Techno.

Nostalgic child, his alter-ego Malefoy'86 sometimes takes him into the retro-futuristic universe of Retro Synthwave.

As an aspiring DJ, he likes to mix a variety of genres, with a strong focus on :
- Dark, Intense & Cosmic Techno
- Zenon & Psy-Tech
- Psytrance & Hi-Tech
- 80's Synthwave & Retro

- BIO -
Dirge is the Twilight Psytrance project of Melbourne born Mike O'Shard.

For 11 years he has spread a strange and sinister signal across Australian dance floors - a dark broadcast transmitted by shadow; a message sent by the frequency of night.

Mike currently manages the Ascension Stage at Esoteric Festival in VIC Australia and represents MMD Records from Cape Town, South Africa.


- CONCEPT -
A 'Dirge' is defined as a lament for the dead; as a mournful song, piece of music or sound. 

Almost a decade ago in the moonlit forest of Mount Disappointment, a strange message was received. The message began as a barely perceptible hum underneath the noise of the local broadcast network, and was transmitted with one purpose - to corrupt the mind of a local human target and spread.. relentlessly. 

Within the darker reaches of its human host body's imagination, this message would bide its time and grow as a quiet voice in the darkness - as a ghost in the machine - until one day, it would be noticed.

On the surface, all was normal. It was a day like any other, until a disruption was felt within the network. The disruption was felt as a slight shimmer; a most subtle shift in the pitch of the broadcast's frequency.

For one small moment, the broadcast faltered, and faded. A team was deployed to investigate. 

Investigating the disruption, the message was discovered and identified as virulent. It had grown in such great measure over time that the network's signal, once thought to be untouchable, had been hijacked entirely. The broadcast signal was now a distorted and ghostly shadow of its former self. 

The report made by the team investigating the anomaly concluded that the disruption had not been felt within the original network; there was nothing of that network left. The disruption had been felt at the very moment that the last remainders of the original network were extinguished.

No-one had noticed the message spread, nor detected the signal's growth. No-one had heard it whisper as it redirected every connection on the network's server. No-one had heard its screams of contempt and rage as it ceaselessly multiplied itself in the background. 

In the final moments of transmission, a new message was received - one word uttered in an unfamiliar tongue, in an endlessly repeating loop - "Dirge..."

Stonechucker/Dardii are the musical projects of Australian East Coast drifter Darcy Livock.

Since being introduced to the Australian outdoor party scene in 2016, Darcy has been fascinated and absorbed by the energy that is created when like minded individuals gather to dance under the sky to a shared rhythm.

Wanting to contribute to this energy as much as possible, Darcy quickly picked up a controller to start twisting knobs and putting mixes together to perform at local gigs.

Darcys intention is to deliver performances that makes the listener both think and move their feet, incorporating opposing elements such as light/dark and technical/danceable to ensure every listener can find their rhythm.

Darcy's passion and taste span mulitple subgenres  and he loves tailoring his set to fit the time and place he is performing. No matter what he is performing, Darcys sets are not ones to miss.

Since the projects started, Darcy has been lucky enough to play many varied events and support some big names in the Australian & International electronic music scenes, including: Zombie Cats, Transforma, Truth, Hydraulix, Talpa & Ryanosaurus to name a few.

Dardii is also founder & owner of the 'Dreamstate Sound' team, who are the team behind the event 'Basscamp' among others. Follow them on socials to be involved in underground music events on the East Coast.

Bush/Psy-tech Producer, DJ - Melbourne, Australia

Aria's musical journey culminated in the creation of Kodama in 2022, a project that explores the fusion of psy and bush-tech while navigating the balance between darkness and light.

Kodama presents a raw, sonic landscape that invites listeners on a transformative voyage, weaving ethereal textures with natural sounds, and driven by deep, pulsating bass lines and dynamic percussion.

Aria has released on Universal Tribe Records, Soliq Records & Frisson Records with more releases out soon on Proponent Records, Another Psyde Records and an upcoming Bush/Psy tech EP "Hear What I Hear" releasing on Magic Hour Recordings (Japan). 

She has played overseas in Japan (Cub Under) and has featured in multiple festivals last year such as Intrinsic Gathering, Electric Boogaloo, a variety of club sets and ended 2024 with her debut interstate set for Initiation in Queensland.
