We warmly welcome our next guest, SPACE MAN (aka our friend Matthew Haynes) to Rotations Round! We are even luckier to host the first aural offering of SPACE MAN - a man who needs and appreciates space of all kinds. Matthew is one of the brains behind the Bad Taste House Collective ( @badtastehousecollective ) parties in Meanjin/Bris, and the label Esoteric Exports ( @esotericexports ). This all-vinyl mix treats us to a delightful journey through some of Matthew's enviable collection - a trip through ambience, downtempo, dub, house and more - all wrapped up in one silky, dreamy package that is synonymous with his style. 

Thank you for this special one Matthew! Happy weekend everyone x

Marli is part of a new breed of artist taking inspiration from the whole spectrum of electronic music. With a sound rooted in Detroit Techno, Chicago House and UKG, a Marli set harbours a warm nostalgic vibe, heavily syncopated rhythms, and rich samples oscillating effortlessly between deep house, soul, breakbeat, and UKG. 

She's featured on lineups on Australia's biggest events, such as Let Them Eat Cake, Pitch Music & Arts, Beyond The Valley, Strawberry Fields, Lost Sundays, smalltown, Xe54, Forum Melbourne, as well as being a crowd favourite and rotating resident at Revolver Upstairs The Late Show. 

Rubbing shoulders with the world's biggest artists, she's warmed the stage for Omar S, Gerd Janson, DJ Koze, Caribou, Dam Swindle, Folamour, Sally C, Loods, DJ Boring and more. 2022 also saw her added to PBS and Triple R's rotation of artists.

With her debut vinyl EP 'Mood Independent' released via ILIO Records selling out in only 3 days, she has released a string of originals and remixes on Yellow Island (Brazil) Homage (NY), Motorik (AUS), Backpocket Slammers (AUS), Love Above Records (AUS), The Late Show Records (AUS) and Velodrome (AUS), all of which are imbued with a class and maturity beyond her young age. With her productions and sets already gaining traction as some of the best in the Australian music industry, Marli is about to shift gears in a very imposing way...
