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.

DJ, radio host, curator, label head and party promoter - CC:DISCO! is hopelessly lost in music and there’s no turning back. Playing disco, house and boogie cuts with her heart at the controls, CC triggers a joyous feedback loop that infects the dancefloor. There’s no pretension, only pure feeling. A Melbourne club scene mainstay, CC began connecting with audiences just like the heroes before her - through FM radio. Having presented shows since the age of 15, her weekly PBS FM slot of six years ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ became a local institution - the quintessential Friday night party starter - priming her for her bi-weekly residency on Rinse FM, as well as knock out guest spots for NTS, Red Light Radio and Dublab. Now stationed in Lisbon, CC continues to rise as one of her fertile hometown’s most active exports. With three extensive UK/EU tours in 2018, she’s commanded the hallowed dancehalls of Sub Club, ://about blank, Kompass and DJOON. Well versed in mobilizing people on mass...

Floodlights make honest, catchy rock music that melds ‘80s alternative rock with ‘90s New Zealand jangle-pop. Formed in mid 2018 in Melbourne, the band consists of guitarists/vocalists Louis Parsons and Ashlee Kehoe, bassist Joe Draffen and drummer Archie Shannon (Dragoons). They self released their debut EP ‘Backyard’ in 2019 on 10” vinyl, containing the single ‘Nullarbor’ which gained them an abundance of attention globally. With a reissue of the EP from Spunk Records in late 2019, the band gained more attention, coinciding with an east coast tour of Australia, where the band also showcased what was to come from their debut LP ‘From a View’. Considered long overdue - though only being a year after their first release - ‘From a View’ was released via Spunk Records and Woo Me! Records. The LP depicts Floodlights’ progression as a band, presenting more intricate instrumentation with their well loved vocal projection.
