Annabelle Gaspar has been DJing for 30+ years. Chasing sweat, connection, and that split second when the room comes together and lifts.

Widely regarded as one of Australia's finest and most respected DJs, she co-founded Bad Dog in Sydney, a music and arts collective, and has played the big rooms, the back rooms, Berghain, all of it.

Annabelle doesn’t play it safe. She digs for sounds that pull you in, stretch you out, take you somewhere you didn’t expect.

If the music can lift you somewhere else, even for a few minutes, that the real magic.

Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid is undoubtedly one of his country’s most exciting electronic music exports. A native of Sardinia, Italy, Lodde is a classically trained musician and an individual who approaches house and techno like few others in his field.
A live act of considerable distinction, he first emerged in the mid ‘00s courtesy of a string of rapturously received releases, the likes of which helped breathe new life in to a scene that was then preoccupied with monotonous, over-hyped minimal sounds. With the benefit of hindsight, Dusty Kid’s emergence was one of many sparks that helped usher in a whole new era of genuinely exciting, intricately produced electronic music that remains to this very day.
An early embracer of all things musical, Lodde started playing the piano at age 4. By 10, he was studying alongside students almost twice his age. However, it was when he swapped the piano for synths and sequencers that his take on music took on a whole new approach. Heavily influenced by the likes of Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, Jam & Spoon and Daft Punk (and free from what he perceived as the constraints of the piano), he began producing his own electronically-inclined compositions, with his first single, ‘I Found a Reason’.
Boasting a nimble, dexterous and always scrupulously-produced sound aesthetic, his unique way of working quickly brought him to the attention of globally-esteemed labels a la Boxer, Systematic, Southern Fried, Bpitch Control, Suara and Mau5trap, with tracks such as ‘Kore’, ‘Milk’, ‘America’ and ‘Lynchesque’ quickly cementing his name into the hearts and minds of the global electronic music scene.
Alongside his solo releases, Dusty Kid is also an impressively consistent remixer, putting his own stamp on music by the likes of Moby, Armand Van Helden, The Pet Shop Boys, Booka Shade, Robyn and Simian Mobile Disco over the years.
An endlessly consistent purveyor of up-front club fare, Lodde is just as comfortable producing techno- focused records as he is more pop-orientated records, a way of working that’s in keeping with his refreshingly unpretentious take on music.
A truly versatile musician who’s never been shackled by convention, it’s Dusty Kid’s eclecticism and ability to embrace new sounds that means he continues to stick out from the crowd. A musician who continues to electrify and innovate at a rate that would make most of his peers blush, Dusty Kid truly is a talent worth embracing.

Empty Tin is the much anticipated first single release from Nicole Brophy's latest album. With natural onstage charisma, bangin' guitar skills and come-hither-smokey vocals it's not hard to understand why she was kidnapped by Kate Miller Heidke's band for a few years! Lucky for us Nicole is now bottling that "whiskey soaked" voice into some darn tasty brew that deserves to be heard and shared.

This catchy as hell single drives along with vintage guitar sounds and cheeky 60‘s backing vocals as it lays down the hard truth that comes from pure frustration. Empty Tin is a single that speaks to all that crave so much more from life...and love.

Nicole Brophy has a voice and style compared to the likes of PJ Harvey, Lucinda Williams & La Roux. ​Stylistically it fits somewhere between gritty rock, alt-country hoedowns and moody, bluesy numbers brought together by a raw charismatic rockin’ earthy voice and boundless energy. She has an undeniable presence on stage always moving, engaging the crowd, playing acoustic or electric guitar and just driving her passion into her songs.
Growing up on the South Coast of NSW and travelling across Australia and overseas Nicole has performed to thousands at some of Australia's biggest music festivals as front woman of her previous band Dirty Lucy or as guitarist/backing vocalist in the Kate Miller-Heidke touring band.
In previous band Dirty Lucy, their highly acclaimed debut album Dark Green was released in 2003 to rave reviews and were invited to perform at SXSW & Shepherds Bush Empire in London. The follow up album Music, People Cities, Lights & Darkness was released in 2006 while touring relentlessly to every corner of the country for over 4 years solid.

Nicole is currently completing the finishing touches on her latest album recorded in a farmhouse in the Southern Highlands of NSW co-produced by Syd Green.

"Nicole Brophy has a voice possessing everything that is good about country singing, with the grunt and raunch of the great female rock tradition thrown in for good measure” Rolling Stone

"Nicole has a voice that fits somewhere between Ricki Lee Jones, La Roux & Beth Orton. Her Alannah Myles-style whiskey molasses voice simultaneously welcomes a crowd with a bear hug and slaps a shot in front of them to signal the start of an adventure". Radar
