PLUS a hectic lineup on the night, featuring:

SOVBLKPSSY is a Ngarrindjeri DJ, producer and radio host currently based on Gadigal and Wangal land. She has carved out her role in the broader queer community as a DJ who moves within both rhythm and resistance.

RAKISH is driven by a strong desire to stitch together disparate sounds and genres with charm and ease. You’ll find his club sets doing the same, weaving throbby percussive tracks with unexpectedly satisfying melodic and harmonic accompaniments. 

ZSA ZSA (they/them) is a Gadigal Country based, self-produced alt-dance and pop artist. Their debut album Weak Spot is a collection of music about vulnerability as power.

SWEET BOY SONNET is an electronic artist and producer from Eora/Syd. She is a powerful performer with a mercurial voice that explores punk, rock and electronica.
