Deep. Grooving. Funk. Energy.

Exporting a fluid blend of techno, acid, breakbeat, trance, dub and electro – Melbourne’s SANCTUM links together genres with an ear for groove and a playful attitude. His adventurous selections are grounded by fast rolling basslines, syncopated melodies and sassy percussion that brings a 'funk' identity to the mix.

Intertwined with his passion for music is a love of making abstract digital art. These interests combined in the 2020 Melbourne lockdowns to form an audio-visual mix series titled 'SANCTIFY'. Each instalment is released with a cover artwork that attempts to capture and complement the experience.

SANCTUM’s approach has garnered a memorable list of appearances supporting industry heavyweights such as FJAAK, SPFDJ, Matrixxman, AIROD and Regal. As well as a long-running catalogue of events spanning over 6 years as the co-founder and director of the @equinox-melbourne crew and :affinity series.

Sublease Music (Poker Flat sister label) 

Biography:
Australian house music mainstay Dylan Griffin has started to make waves beyond the shores of his island home. With releases on USA’s highly respected Little Helpers as well as exclusive vinyl & digital releases with home imprints and dance music behemoth Poker Flat for their sister label Sublease Music. 

After 10 years of being a touring DJ in Australia and Asia Pacific, Dylan has shifted gears and now works closely with production partner Chad B and also solo for most of his studio output. In late 2018 their debut vinyl EP, that included an Alexkid remix, sold out in many of the major vinyl stores world wide after esteemed charting & press. That was the foundation that launched them into the trajectory they now find themselves in. With their last few releases having favourable press across publications Trommel, Meoko, 6AM, Magnetic Magazine & Constant Circles their music is now starting to reach a more global audience.  The production output is ongoing and Dylan’s original works have been supported by the like of Steve Bug, Archie Hamilton, Doubting thomas, Alexkid, Mihai Popiviciu & John Digweed to name just a few. 

Not one to follow trends Dylan has been fostering an infinite combination of the driving & groove based elements of the house, micro house and minimal techno worlds for over 10 years now. With not many Australian dance music institutions that Dylan hasn’t graced he has cemented an enduring reputation across dance floors and beaming peak time sets on some of the country’s most acclaimed events, festivals and clubs.
