Since forming Nightime Drama in 2012, Shaun Franklin aka Trebek and Peter Fincher aka Peter Finger have upheld their long standing vision for the label of releasing quality underground music from artists locally and around the globe.
Their DJ sets are diverse, deep and winding - they epitomise what it means to tell a story.
The duo have hosted events around the city, which always bring together artists, lighting enthusiasts and lovers of soulful underground music. Some of the finest names they've hosted include Steffi, XDB, Patrice Scott, Lowtec and Eli Verveine. More recently, Nightime Drama hosted their launch party in Sydney, spreading their passion for forward thinking music.
The first Nightime Drama EP in 2013 "Design Principles" by Melbourne producer Infinite Loops drew world-wide acclaim and was featured on many DJ charts. Sydney based Techno veteran Trinity has now joined the Nightime Drama family.
Enjoy what Trebek and Peter Finger had to share on the Convention stage.
