Co-founder of Syndicate Events & Dabble Resident

A born entertainer with a burning desire to play music to people around the world, Sam Divine’s enigmatic sets are an effortless schooling in pure, unadulterated house. From her early days as the sole member of the Defected street team in Ibiza to fronting their radio show and now headlining some of the world’s biggest clubs and festivals, The First Lady of Defected, has become an intrinsic part of the UK house music scene. The seeds of Sam’s DJ career can be traced back to a pair of belt drive turntables and a battered Numark mixer set up in her Mum’s shed; a pirate radio show broadcast from her bedroom using ‘borrowed’ equipment from the local college and MSN Messenger, and time spent expanding her musical knowledge working at Spin Central in her hometown of Weston-super-Mare and Chemical Records in Bristol. ~ Soundcloud

Starting out as house music Dj's in their late teens and making their mark on Sydney's night life back in 2012 through to today, long time mates Nick Marchione and Rocco Rodi have now formed the duo 'U Know'. Their similar taste and interest in music from labels such as Defected, Toolroom, Solid Grooves, Nervous Records & Artists such as Amine Edge & Dance, Mat.Joe, ANOTR, Brokenears, Darius Syrossian, Sidney Charles, DJOKO, PAWSA & many more is what have brought these two together. Having headed to the Defected Festival in Croatia back in 2019 they now have a clear understanding on what they want and by the looks of things, its just around the corner. Since starting this project together in the middle of 2019, the two house heads have gotten themselves on huge lineups around Sydney city supporting massive international Dj's from around the globe such as Low Steppa, Roberto Surace, Simon Dunmore, Prok & Fitch, Mousse T, The Shapeshifters, Ferreck Dawn, Route94, Michael Bibi, Green Velvet & many others.
