"As a dj duo, our approach is to improvise and flow between each others styles, vibes and records. Some stand-out tracks are: Pillow Queen - Estrel nights, Jennifer Loveless - Out/Under, Stellae - Explore. This is a living room mix, recorded in the Fitzroy living room where our project "olivas" was 1st created during 2020 lockdown (as housemates)."

I listen to and create music on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Naarm, Melbourne based DJ.
For almost 20 years, James Steer has consistently and unassumingly contributed to the after-hours soundtrack of Melbourne. Well respected within the underground Melbourne DJ community, James has built a reputation as a selector who deftly balances exquisite taste with technical execution. James cut his teeth as one of the founders of the legendary Deep Chord Melbourne parties in the early noughties, showcasing the emerging deep minimal sounds of the time to an eager and receptive audience. The party started off as an intimate affair in the confines of the upstairs space of Pony Bar (later Boney), before finding a true home in the legendary basement space of the Mercat Cross. Since then, James has regularly graced the decks at some of Melbourne’s most iconic nightspots, equally adept at delivering funk and disco laden suppertime soundtracks as heaving excursions into deep dance floor dynamics. Drawing from a vast, genre-defying collection, James’ sets offer the listener/dancer a guided tour through the fundamentals of depth, always evolving and never stagnant, a glimpse into the now, with a respectful nod to what’s come before.

Tripovich is a Melbourne based, Poland born DJ playing a few groovy genres focusing on minimal deep tech. With a never ending affection with Romanian minimal and Russian deep tech scenes, he curates relaxed, yet energetic sets that tend to move even the most stubborn stillness.

The other side of his selection is funk, disco and nu-disco.

Szymon is a resident on Fridays with OVER crew in Killing Time, Melbourne.

Acid is a dead language.
Live techno with dying equipment since 1567.



Exactly 400 years after his namesake’s typically early death in May 1595, acidalius acquired his first synthesizer. The next two decades he moves full circle through names, styles and methods to land firmly back at his origin, Frankfurt, and the pure machine driven, acid laced techno of the early 90’s.
