MANA FEST @ ESOTERIC 2022 (MOBY DICK)

Originally imagined as the personification of a milkshake headache, Violet Eve first appeared as an insano purple being of indeterminate species with a slow-witted yet optimistic demeanour and a bright smile. One of Adelaide's most recognisable characters, Violet Eve is known for her Cheshire Cat-like smile and budding taste in thick and juicy tunes. 

South Australian born and bred, Violet Eve has dedicated her life to music, transforming from dancer to DJ in 2017 to pursue her love of Psytrance. After winning earthcore's Smash the Mainfloor DJ competition in 2018 she has ignited dancefloors across Australia & New Zealand and is a returning artist at Esoteric Festival.

- MANA FEST YOUR DREAMS -

Fest, the enigmatic force behind the decks, fusing the mystical elements of Psytrance, Techno, and a myriad of artistic genres into electrifying sonic journeys. Born from the depths of creativity, Mana Fest’s musical odyssey began during the pandemic lockdown. 

His passion for music burns brightly, an unrelenting fire that fuels his relentless drive to keep people dancing. For Mana Fest, music isn’t just a career; it’s a calling, an ethereal connection that transcends the ordinary. 

In 2022 and 2023, he graced the Esoteric Festival stage, where his pulsating mixes entranced crowds and left them yearning for more. Now, in 2025, he is set to make his debut on the renowned Sun Temple stage, marking a new milestone in his journey. 

Beyond Esoteric, Mana Fest has shared the spotlight with international luminaries such as Jacob from Brazil, Matan Caspi from Israel, Kander from the UK, and Amrtum from Berlin. These collaborations have woven a tapestry of global sounds that define his eclectic style. He is also a proud member of crews such as Pirainia and Sickest House Mafia. 

In 2024, he founded Terrestrial Events, an event company set to transform the scene—not only by curating incredible nights but by ensuring fair support for DJs and working with charities like White Ribbon Australia to drive social change. 

A longtime supporter of festival and doof culture, Mana Fest is often found volunteering to build stages and helping set up at various events. For him, it’s more than just a job — it’s a passion.

Yet, beyond the music, Mana Fest dons a mask that has become more than mere attire. It’s a symbol of artistic expression, a metaphorical canvas through which he paints his emotions and stories. The mask becomes a persona, blurring the line between the artist and the art itself. 

In a world where music is the universal language, Mana Fest loves orchestrating a symphony of beats and melodies that transcend boundaries, inviting all to join him on a sonic voyage.
