Lineup:

Rami Imam

Rami Imam’s latest offering sees the rising Melbourne-based artist establish his experimental sound in a compelling way.

Imam’s global influences span many genres including disco, funk, rai, highlife, house, and electronic. This diverse range of inputs, combined with cultural influences from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, all contribute to the rich texture and pulsating tempo of his latest work.

The result is a vibrant, melodic melting pot that is designed to be felt and connected with on dancefloors and in headphones alike.

Imam’s music makes the feet move and the mind wander.

Merchant Records

Merchant, made up of London-based duo Harry and Al, first established themselves as residents on Balamii, where they and their international guests soundtrack the morning with deep and meditative records.

Since then, Merchant have hosted parties at many of London’s cherished dance spots, before finding their home at Brilliant Corners, a vinyl-only venue where they release the shackles in genre-bending all night sets.

In the booth, Merchant like to surprise, weaving through sounds and styles from all over the world, and tapping into the range of emotions that can be felt on the dance floor.

This style has seen them tour Europe, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and the US, and their debut EP - a heady mix of dance-focused tracks - comes out later this year.

DJ Naru

Naru is a Melbourne based DJ/Hip Hop music producer influenced by 90's Jazzy Hip Hop and funk music.

She has recently stepped into music production and developed her sound that is a blend of dreamy vibes on Hip Hop beats.

Since moving over from Japan in 2012, she's supported the local dance battle scene through blending her two passions of dancing and DJing.

Boyd Kelly

Boyd Kelly is a DJ dedicated to preserving and evolving DJ culture, known for weaving the infectious vibes of 90s house and 70s disco into funky, high-energy sets and productions.

His deep commitment to vinyl digging and crate building creates unique, soulful experiences on the dance floor.

Boyd’s innovative audio-visual shows, like those at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, push the boundaries of traditional DJing while celebrating its rich history.

His love for groove ensures every set is a journey through tracks you’ve never heard but can’t live without.
