Oh my days. Dragon Dreaming 2024 was an absolute dream. That location. The music. The people. Friends, new and old. What a refresh!
The past year has been a whirlwind of pure magic, challenges and new experiences, and somehow, it feels like all roads led straight to Dragon. 🐲 

A weekend to reflect and enjoy the disconnect from the "real world" and connect with the Dragon fam. Truly overjoyed and my soul is filled to the brim with gooey goodness.

A massive thank you to Cam Volkeine and the team at Dragon for having me back this year. It was an absolute belter of a party and an absolute pleasure to spin tunes on the Fire Stage at 1am on Saturday. The crowd had such an infectious energy, it was electric. On a massive high from that.

Big shoutout to Heath, Boony, and the crew at HB Sound & Lighting for that epic rig. Always a bloody good time blasting tunes through your system. 

Much love to everyone I crossed paths with over the weekend. This festival gives me life, and each time I return, it truly feels like home. 🙏 ❤️

Dragon Dreaming Festival 2024 Set - 5 October 2024

My second live set titled "MELT" is a 1 hour 150 Bass and 174 DNB mix. Pieced together over the course of a relentless week of sleepless nights spent selecting, mixing and producing, MELT features one of my original (unreleased) tracks amongst a firestorm of several to many other absolute bangers.

MELT has two halves, the first half hour being focused towards 150bpm Bass, it's thick, gritty, organic and a touch sexy. Featuring some heavy-dark and some light-upbeat moments, MELT is well suited for bass heads, forest wooks, Fae and flow arts performers alike.

The second half hour pushes the bpm up a notch, fusing a clean blend of orchestral, cerebral DNB with some superfat dancefloor heavy hitters. Half-time wubby botanica weaves throughout the hard and fast highlights feat. THE DRAMA. It's heavy, cinematic, dark, and explores beauty and danger as one.

Huge shoutout to Roadi and Hidden Records, the Smoko Pizza team, all crew, artists, performers and friends who each put in incredible efforts to deliver a such a high quality event in a WILDLY short timeframe, you're all the fkn best. 

Much Love,
Kinectar

FINGERZ @ EFF25 - RENEGADE PLAYGROUND TAKEOVER

Hailing from Mulubinba (Newcastle), 2-FDCK has spent the past few years building a name for himself in the local bass scene, bringing a raw and heartfelt take on drum and bass and dubstep. After three years behind the decks, he’s developed a style that leans into the darker, more unusual sides of drum and bass - with touches of tribal and world-inspired bass, as well as jazzy and soulful influences.

Inspired by artists like Simula, Visages, and Mefjus, his sets carry both weight and feeling. He's played at events around the Hunter region including Rhythm at Dusk, FunHaus Factory, Immersion Collective, Modulate, Powder Your Nose, Ryze, Shuvclub, and more, as well as at local doofs such as Forest Fruits II (2025).

When playing at raves and doofs, 2-FDCK takes a storytelling approach, creating a flow that feels connected from start to finish. In the club, he's just as at home switching things up and playing across all kinds of drum and bass styles to keep the energy moving.

Now starting to explore production, 2-FDCK is continuing to shape his own sound - one built on groove, grit, and good energy.

SAMp3 - Earth Frequency Festival 2025

So grateful to have closed The Atrium Stage on the Friday night for Earth Frequency's 20th Anniversary. 

I have played at this festival 3 years in a row, and can say this is my best set to date. I have created a journey set which complies some of my favorite blends of the year and have included some original and remixes of my own.  I'm excited to say I'm taking the next step from DJ to Artist. 

A big shout out to Paul, EFF team and the wonderful people who show up and support me. 

Enjoy <3

REESE PROTOCOL  [Free DL]

Higher Ground has always been more than a dancefloor. It's been a gathering place, a spark in the dark, a pocket of freedom that's guided us ever since the world opened back up. On that open-air stage, so many local artists found themselves - testing ideas, building courage, discovering their people, and shaping their sound and confidence. It's been a place where creativity could roam wild and honest, where the Newcastle scene could grow roots and stretch its branches. 

The Newcastle bass community is something rare - tightly woven, collaborative, and full of genuine care. We at Newy Bass Crew have so much love for our brothers and sisters at Higher Ground. The kinship in this scene runs deep. 

Deep love to Jess - your vision, care, and years of wisdom shaped something truly special. You created a space that felt free and intentional. And to Mitch - thank you for delivering the sound and energy that made everything breathe and move the way it did. That rig is the backbone of countless memories. 

It's bittersweet to see Higher Ground take its final bow, but the gratitude outweighs the sadness. It brought the open-air doof spirit to Newcastle in a way that was accessible, welcoming, and real. It lifted artists, connected communities, and opened doors many of us didn't even know were there. 

If something this loved has to end, ending on a high is the most beautiful way to go.
Endless love to everyone who shaped the HG world. 

KreliaS and Dread Maiden carried the Newy Bass Crew flag on Saturday night and it was an honour for them to be part of the final show. Higher Ground was where both of them played some of their first Newcastle sets, so returning for the last dance was deeply full-circle. This set is a small tribute to the space that helped shape them, and a love letter to everything Higher Ground has been. ❤️
