Had a huuuge amount of fun playing the closing set on the Hex Soundsystem after Paige Julia (& an insane 4 days of tuuuuunes) at the amazing HUM Gathering festival! Viiiiiibes

A couple of guest appearances through set by Outlook mc too!

DE LA HAYE @ HUM FEST - HEX SOUNDSYSTEM - May 2025

Vykhod Sily - SAMp3 Guest Mix - 03.07.2025

I.C.Y is a DJ and producer based on the South Coast of NSW, where the pace of life is slow, the connection to nature is strong, and that energy filters straight into her music. Her sound leans into the deep and minimal ends of dubstep – heavy low-end pressure with plenty of space to breathe. Nothing forced, nothing overdone. Just clean, weighty selections that pull you in without needing to shout.

She's not about big drops or flashy moments – her sets are about feeling, mood, and slow-building tension. There's a quiet intensity in how she plays. Every transition, every tune has purpose. She'll take you into darker, deeper places – and leave enough room for your own mind to wander inside the sound. Sometimes there are cryptic messages tucked in there, sometimes it's just about being still and letting the bass move through you.

Over the last year, she's played Dragon Dreaming, Subsonic, Twisted Frequency, Weaselstock, and a string of Eora shows including Afterlife, FBi Radio, Contact, and some solid appearances with the Gennyada crew.

Next up, you can catch I.C.Y at Freerange - and she's locked in to return to Dragon Dreaming in late 2025.

Earth Frequency Festival 25 - Boombox

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. ❤️
