With Grace @ 303030 2023/24 - Live Midnight 02.01.2024

As someone who has been a punter of the Sydney underground and doof scene since I was 17, to curate a space alongside others and watch it come to life through the power of community and divine serendipities was one of the most special experiences I have ever had. And it truly feels like 303030 2023/24 contributed something unique to the scene. We offered an affordable $20 event showcasing local talent through live music and multi-genre sets, and gave new and emerging artists an opportunity to play to a community of open, safe and like-minded people. I’m also so stoked with how much gender representation there was on stage. 

This dawn NYD set was the best way I could have seen the sun rise over the start of this year. I have found in learning how to DJ and now in starting to play to audiences that the main thing to learn is how to find a balance between playing what you want and what the audience wants. But as I was a host and organiser of this event alongside Marti and the crew, I felt it was the first opportunity I had to have free reign over exactly what I wanted to play, because I had curated the space. And what this set journey from UK Garage, to dreamy jungle and breakbeat, to half time bass, captures is a flow state that is a true reflection of me and the artistry I want to embody, made possible through the incredible producers that I admire so much and want to continue to portray. 

I was so engrossed I played another hour of half time bass and dubstep for the brekky hour that I might share in a separate post some time if I feel like it haha but if you enjoy a variety of dreamy bass music I invite you to listen to this and my hope is that you find something capturing in it.

Just another DJ.

Inspired deeply by the sounds of the UK, With Grace weaves together throbbing bass rhythms that range from grimey UK Garage and dubstep through to heavy jungle and break beat. Setting the background, there are always some dreamy chords and an attempt to capture a flow that will transport you into those holy dancefloor moments she herself has been gifted with so much over her years in the Sydney underground scene. She may push you somewhere a little bit darker than you’re used to, but this offers an opportunity to go deeper and submit to enticing rhythms and movement.

She’s a slut for house as well and will argue that anyone who doesn’t like house takes themselves too seriously.

And she does it With Grace.
