SVDDEN DEATH - BEHEMOTH (PRETENCE FLIP)

im so excited to release my biggest record to date, just a dream.

2 years In the making, i finished this track just at the end of covid lockdowns. I knew I had something special.. It then began to dominate the US & Canadian festival scene including festivals like Shambhala, Beyond Wonderland, EDC Las Vegas, Nocturnal Wonderland, Audiotistic & more.

after all the insane responses on tiktok/IG, it feels amazing to finally get this track out in to the world. 

Enjoy, Pretence.

PRETENCE - JUST A DREAM

Introducing my debut 3 track EP on Moretin 'Hide in the Dark'

I would call this EP my musical diary of feeling alone sometimes in the music scene, steering in my own lane.

I’m a dude from wollongong making underground music, finding solace in the shadows where my music becomes friends those who are all about the underground.

No matter how far my career may take me, I’ll never forget where I came from.

Pretence - Hide In The Dark [MORETIN]

Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become (Pretence Remix)

probably one of my favourite tracks that i've made In a while. 

there's something about this baseline that really gets me going. this one goes out to all the people who love their bush doofs!

all vocals recorded by me.

PRETENCE - JUNGLE

My new single 'bad ass bassline' is out now on Moretin, and here is a little insight about the meaning behind it:

Growing up, life wasn't easy for me. I got bullied a lot, to the point where I had to switch schools. When I started DJing, it got pretty tough. People were relentless with their criticism, and it really shook my confidence. It was tough to keep pushing forward when it felt like no one believed in me.

As time went on, I decided to take music more seriously and started to accept myself for who I am. I realized that I shouldn't change for anyone. Music became my outlet and my way to express myself. I poured all my frustrations, dreams, and hopes into my productions.

There's a moment every artist faces when they must decide to either give in to the doubt or rise above it. I chose to rise. I learned that embracing who you are, flaws and all, is the key to finding true confidence.

As an artist, if you want to achieve something, you have to be confident. Embrace who you are. Show the world your true self and do what you love. Being a "bad ass" producer isn't just about making dope music, it's about having the courage to be yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.

So, when you listen to bad ass bassline, know that it's more than just a track. It's a piece of my journey, a testament to overcoming adversity and embracing my true self. 

Be a BADASS.

PRETENCE - BAD ASS BASSLINE

OUT NOW // EGO DEATH 

a track that’s meant to take you on a deeper journey. This one isn’t just for nightclubs and festivals.. it’s an experience that might make you see things differently, maybe even shift your sense of self for a moment ;) 

this track really captures where I’m at as an artist right now, and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out.

A massive shoutout to @aimtohead for believing in this one & im super stoked to be making my debut on the label.

fun little house flip of chemical bond by rezz and deathpact. super stoked with how this one turned out. enjoy :)

Rezz x Deathpact - Chemical Bond (Pretence Flip)

jawbreaker is a track that feels like something that’s made for those big, intense moments - perfect for a fighter’s entrance or when you’re gearing up for something huge. I’ve always been a fan of Hans zimmer and his cinematic/orchestral music, and I think the breakdowns create a real sense of tension. 

I’m always looking to push boundaries in my productions and feel this one really captures that energy, bringing something fresh and powerful to the table. 

i've been playing it out for a few months now and its been absolutely crushing the dance floor - super stoked to have this one finally out.

PRETENCE - JAWBREAKER

‘The Streets’ is a reflection of my dual life - regular by day, dark and underground by night. Liam and I started working on this track a few years ago, drawing inspiration from Rezz and Gesaffelstein. 

It is gritty, industrial, and captures the raw energy of navigating the underground music scene, much like the path I’ve taken as an artist. 

We are very excited to see this track finally see the light and we hope you like it as much as we do. 🐍🖤

PRETENCE X LIAM KEERY - THE STREETS

Over the years, I've been deeply invested in the Pretence project, constantly focused on the marketing and business side. At some point, it started to feel less fun, and I had to step back and remind myself why I started this journey in the first place: my love for DJing. Watching DJ sets on YouTube and performing has always been my passion. So recently, I thought, why not dive back into what I love? I got a new camera and started filming my sets - both at home and at live shows. I hope you enjoy this one, and I'm excited to share more with you soon.

Out now on & Youtube & Soundcloud.

PRETENCE PRESENTS: THE RED ROOM (Live Set)

i’m very excited to be releasing my 2nd track of the year today! 

i made this one a little while back and I even though I was super stoked on it, unfortunately I never ended up finding a home for a label to release it on.

fast forward to 2025, I’m proud to have finally built a solid fan base that will listen to my music with or without the help of a label.. so I knew it was finally time to put this one out 🖤

“Nightmares” is out now everywhere! enjoy guys.

PRETENCE - NIGHTMARES

'Brainwash' is about how the music industry conditions artists to chase trends instead of their own creativity. So many people follow what’s popular, afraid to take risks, afraid to stand out. This track is for those who break free from that cycle and create music on their own terms.

Enjoy - Pretence.

Brainwash

PRETENCE - BRAINWASH

NEW 2 TRACK EP OUT NOW.

Presenting “I LIVE FOR ELECTRO” 

Growing up, i used whatever money i earned making sandwiches at subway to buy ministry of sound albums, which is what really inspired me to make the music I’m making today in 2025.

Boys noize, Justice, Gesaffelstein, The Bloody Betroots, Daft Punk, Proxy, G-Tonic, Trumpdisco… All these guys are really the ones that started it all for me.

This EP isn’t about chasing trends.. It’s about making music because you absolutely LOVE it.

Its been absolutely amazing to expand my sound lately as you all have noticed, but it also feels nice to be going back to my roots with this EP and I hope you guys like it.

Pretence - I Live For Electro

Pretence - G-Code

Myself and Tzafu join forces to bring you this heavy industrial dark electronic song "Mercy." "Mercy" is a symbiotic blend of worlds expressed through brooding basses, commanding drums, and harsh synths. Mercy entices those who embrace the dark and unknown; their prize being relentless energy.

PRETENCE X TZAFU - MERCY [MORETIN]

I’m honestly struggling to put into words the emotions I’m feeling right now. Every rejection, every doubt, every late night over the past 10 years - all of it led to this moment.

I used to be just another raver in the crowd, staring at that stage thinking, “One day, that’s going to be me. I don’t know when or how, but I’m going to work my ass off until it is.”

A week before Shambala, I got a message asking if I wanted to play Thursday night at the Riverside Stage. My jaw dropped. My first ever festival slot… and it was at Shambhala - my favorite festival in the world.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and danced with me. Thank you to all the amazing artists and people I met and most importantly thank you Shambhala for giving me this opportunity. I’ll remember this night for the rest of my life!

I haven’t been this excited about a track in a long time.. it’s my first ever attempt at making hard techno/psytrance, now it’s being released on my dream label aswell as had support by some of the biggest artists in the game… crazy. 

It was also a very special moment meeting Rezz in person for the first time a few weeks ago at Shambhala - I’ve been a raver in the crowd for many many years watching her sets and now here we are today.

full circle moment for real.

John Summit - Light Years (Pretence Remix)

SURPRISE! just dropped another remix on soundcloud and youtube. 

my manager hit me up a few months ago suggesting that I should have a crack at remixing me and the devil by soap and skin, as it’s got such cool dark and cinematic soundscapes. 

most of you guys know me for making house music, but it’s been really fun to experiment with my sound and explore different genres lately.

super stoked with how it turned out and i hope you guys dig it. much love 🖤

BLACK HOLE IS OUT NOW!

Couldn’t be more proud with how this track turned out and to be able to say that I’m releasing on Black Tiger Sex Machines label is just insane. 

I supported these guys in Sydney back in 2019, and in that same year I was in the crowd watching them throw down at Shambhala. I still remember jumping up and down full of joy when one of them downloaded by tracks. 

So much has happened since then it’s crazy… Idk I just really like sharing these memories because it really shows that any artist can achieve anything if they put their mind to it.

Really stoked for you all to hear this one, its definitely one of my favourite tracks that I’ve ever made and a massive thank you to Kannibalen for believing in it <3

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life (Pretence Remix)

A couple months ago, my friends and I flew over to Shambhala music festival in Canada. We knew that deathpact had his debut set there and there was no chance that we were going to miss it. During the show, he dropped this mid tempo song and i was like WOAH. what is this track. Shazamed it, and boom kiss of death with Rezz, who is also one of my idols. As soon as i heard this, I knew I had to give it my twist when I got back home, and now here we are!
