[Nice Party: Dance Club / Classico Melbourne]

Inarguably the don of house music in Australia, Janette Pitruzzello aka DJ JNETT has brought heat to Melbourne’s music culture since the early 90s, with an inimitable underground sound that truly defies any categorization. Her boundless crates of wax & supreme turntable technique spans through a galactic wormhole of house, techno, funk, soul, disco, dub, reggae, afro, brasilian and hip hop with a kid gloved finesse like no other, winning over the broadest of audiences every time. With heavyweight knowledge, an undisputed love for music, and an ear-to-ear that hits just as hard as her selections, Janette continuously leaves dance floors hugging, smiling and sweating. She’s warmed up crowds for the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Larry Heard AKA Mr Fingers, Theo Parrish, Moodymann, Danny Krivit, Peven Everett, Sadar Bahar, St Germain & Floating Points – and boy, will they tell you about the time they got to kick it with DJ JNETT.

This uncompromising commitment to her craft has landed her sets at this years' Strawberry Fields and Hopkins Creek Festivals. For many the future would look bright, but for Jess Zammit, the future looks dark, weird and wonderful.
