One of Australia’s most decorated electronic acts, THE PRESETS – Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes – have built a career defined by innovation, energy and global impact, earning seven ARIA Awards and a run of GOLD and PLATINUM-certified releases.
Formed in 2003, they quickly gained recognition for fusing dance music with the raw energy of rock’n’roll, with their breakthrough album Apocalypso (2008) achieving triple platinum sales in Australia and delivering four hit singles, including the enduring anthem ‘My People’ and also earning them five ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year.
We’ve made a racket alongside most of these artists for years, onstage and off. This is our idea of the ultimate party. We’ve all talked about it forever, so it’s about time – Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes (The Presets)
Melbourne locals CUT COPY burst onto the scene in 2001, with a fusion of club culture and an indie sensibility that was uniquely their own, lighting up the Australian music scene and planting seeds across the globe. Their debut LP Bright Like Neon Love saw them take their electrifying live shows across the globe. While their sophomore album In Ghost Colours delivered a number of hit songs (‘Lights & Music’, ‘Hearts On Fire’, and ‘Strangers In The Wind’) that became anthems in both club and indie worlds across the planet, debuting at #1 on the Aussie album charts and firmly establishing Cut Copy as one of the world’s premiere festival bands. Their follow-up record, Zonoscope, earned 2 ARIA Awards and a GRAMMY®️ Nomination, while inspiring loads of bands who sprung up in their wake.
We came up playing shows with most of these artists. And looking back it was a pretty unique scene, so it will be great to celebrate the spirit of that era with some killer shows!” – Dan Whitford, Cut Copy
Bag Raiders are true icons of the Australian dance scene. Globally acclaimed, Grammy nominated, Sydney based, Australian duo, BAG RAIDERS (Jack Glass and Chris Stravey), have over 4 billion collective streams and over 1 million active followers across all platforms have released a slew of legendary back catalogue smashes ‘Shooting Stars’ (5x Platinum USA, 7x Platinum Australia, 1x Platinum UK), ‘Sunlight’, ‘Way Back Home’ through to 2026’s ‘Out Of My Mind’ and ‘Sunshine’. From the over-ground plays to the underground raves, they’ve always kept one foot in the club and one eye on the future, with DJ sets across the world, livestreams for Mixmag, and remixes for luminaries like TEED, Banks, Riton, PNAU, The Jungle Giants and Crooked Colours. Right now, Bag Raiders have four feet firmly back on the dancefloor and just released a massive Aussie collab with singer/songwriter Meg Mac called ‘Break My Heart’ which is doing some serious radio play damage around the world.
From her early days playing in Wellington band Two Lane Blacktop and Sydney act Teenager (formed by Nick Littlemore), Pip Brown’s knack for writing a catchy pop hook has garnered her global recognition. Coupled with 80’s rock-chic ambiance, Pip quickly made a name for herself under the moniker LADYHAWKE, releasing her debut self-titled album in 2008. Boasting electro-pop gems ‘My Delirium’, ‘Paris Is Burning’, ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ and more, the record made waves internationally and was followed by 2012’s Anxiety, which Rolling Stone described as “a buzzsaw-sharp pop-rock album, full of hard-charging hooks”.
Getting the crew back together with some fresh faces too. It’s gonna be awesome – don’t miss this one – Ladyhawke
THE BANG GANG are one of Australia’s most influential party collectives – a crew who helped define the global electroclash moment of the early 2000s and have been shaping electronic culture ever since. They built a brand as distinctive for its aesthetic and attitude as for its music. Two decades on – after running their own label, playing alongside Daft Punk, Justice and James Murphy, and living every chapter of the story fully – the Bang Gang are channelling that accumulated experience into a bold new phase.
Few have managed to snatch the attention of the Australian club and dance scenes like FUKHED. Hailing from Brisbane and now Sydney based, FUKHED, delivers sets fill with relentless techno and late-night melancholia. She’s played fan-favourite sets at Beyond The Valley and Subsonic and released hammering singles ‘No C No A’, ‘4303’, ‘Pressure’ and ‘l-o-l-o-l-o’. FUKHED continues to ear her stripes as one of Australia’s fastest-rising producers.
Expect a pulse-raising fusion of iconic throwbacks and tomorrow’s anthems, delivering a night packed with energy and emotion this January!
I loved this concept and the intrinsic sense of camaraderie from the moment Kim and Jules first floated their ideal lineup to us. These artists all create sounds which have made – and continue to make – waves that will last forever – Sahara Herald, Frontier Touring
