Lineup

silkyedgez
Silkyedgez is a Sydney-based Vietnamese artist crafting emotionally raw alternative R&B layered with subtle UK garage influence and dreamlike textures. Her music sits in the space between vulnerability and restraint – diaristic, conversational songwriting that feels like late-night thoughts you weren’t meant to hear. Her latest two-track release, "Cold Shoulder" and "Time Ain’t On Our Side", explores the duality of modern relationships – from being stuck in toxic cycles to navigating the fear of something real. Having already received support from BBC Radio, fbi radio, triple j and performing at venues including Box Park Shoreditch, Butter Sydney and The Lansdowne, silkyedgez continues to build a presence defined by intimacy, storytelling, and emotionally resonant live performances.

Senile Youth
Formed in 2025 out of a garage in Western Sydney, Senile Youth have won fans over through their eclectic songwriting style and soulful performances. Made up of bassist Banjo Pelusi, drummer Keira Beaver, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Nathan Russell and lead guitarist Levi Bale, Senile Youth are best known for their single “Now or Never” off their self-titled EP. “Crack my ribs” is another fan favourite, showcasing the band's best guitar riff and ability to electrify a stage. Senile Youth are making great strides in the Sydney music community, and becoming a local superpower in the music scene.

Decaf
Decaf is an emerging hip hop artist from Western Sydney. Fresh off the release of his recent project “Scene is Believing” - a brief, expressive and banger-filled project celebrating the Sydney scene that’s perfect for alternative hip-hop heads. While Decaf brings together eclectic influences - the punchlines of Lil Wayne, the unpredictability of Andre 3000 and the slacker vibe of Pavement’s Steven Malkmus - he doesn’t overthink things, he keeps things pure and unfiltered.Since coming onto the scene in 2022, he has collaborated with other underground trailblazers Sidney Phillips, emjaysoul, and Cherry Rype, as well as playing local festivals such as Parramatta’s Pass The Mic and headlined venues like The Lansdowne.
