crescendoll is a proud Gomeroi and Biripai woman and Gadigal based DJ. Selected for FBi's Dance Class 2020 program, she flirts with juke, jersey, footwork, hard drum, UK bass, garage and acid and is an appreciator of all things club. She is a regular on Eora’s dance floors and has played sets for outfits like Mince, Lefag, Athletica, Bizarro, Decay and Leak Your Own Nudes. She has also played Dark Mofo, Soft Centre, Pitch Music Festival, Splendour and Beyond the Valley.

hazboy is a producer and DJ based in Sydney, fusing hyperpop, jersey club, and EDM into a high-energy, genre-blending club sound. Raised on SoundCloud and deeply influenced by niche internet subcultures of electronic music, hazboy’s productions and mixes are characterised by their energetic and experimental nature. Energised by queer club culture, hazboy is driven on connection and community through music.

KAIKAI is for the girls, gays, femmes, themmes, queens, kings, party angels, disco divas, street rats, tree frogs, and everyone in between. From the starry cosmic sounds of deep outer space to the bumping, thumping club anthems of the underground, let KAIKAI's beats transport you from the beginning of time itself all the way to the mesmerising, sexy indulgent future of your dreams.
