crank - co-hosts and headliners, a celebration of a special record, an extended set for the occasion

jordan obarzanek - personal cult hero, involved in too many amazing projects to count, debuting some wonky solo material

mio - label alum as sicu, voice of an angel, has been writing anthems from age 11 (or younger)

mug - pop music done right, drifty and weightless, never mad listening to sam & lil play

headrush djs - the crew of all crews take care of the bar, more usbs than they know what to do with, full of nothing but my favourite music and favourite people

a mystery fifth act - only to be revealed on the night, maybe musical, maybe not

crank was conceived by sam on saturday the 5th of november 2022 in briagolong. after lying dormant for 923 days it was awoken at nutwood cottage on the 16th of may 2025 when remy agreed to teach sam and michaela how to play their instruments. everyone else was dragged into it over the coming months.
