Celebrate 24 years of unforgettable dance music with Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa, and your Friction family!

🎉 Friction Presents: 24th Birthday Party – A Celebration of Canberra Dance Events 🎶

Friction has been the heartbeat of Canberra's underground dance music scene for 24 years 🔥, promoting your all-time favourite artists in intimate club settings and unforgettable festivals. Over the years, we've created a space for the dance music family to come together, and it's your energy, passion, and love for the music have kept us going ❤️. This year, we're celebrating YOU at our 24th birthday party — the people who make Friction what it is. It's been a journey of memories, music, and good times, and we're ready to make more 🔊.

Two of the industry's biggest legends, Danny Howells and Anthony Pappa, will headline this special event.

Danny Howells – The DJ's DJ 🎶

Danny Howells doesn't follow the trends. He sets them. For over two decades, he's stayed true to his craft, playing for the love of the music, not the spotlight 💫. With his impeccable selection, distinctive style, and silky mixing, Danny has become one of the world's most respected selectors 🏆.

Not one to follow the typical DJ formula, Danny's reputation as "the DJs' DJ" has endured. He's not about producing to stay relevant or reinventing himself for the masses. Instead, he only releases music when inspiration strikes, and he's not one to chase fame or pursue a packed DJ schedule. His organic approach to house music has earned him a timeless place in dance music, continuing to captivate audiences around the world 🌍.

Anthony Pappa – An Australian Icon on the Global Stage 🌏

Joining Danny is Anthony Pappa, one of Australia's most successful exports 🇦🇺. Anthony has earned his place at the top of the international dance music scene. His technical skill, love for the art, and relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries have made him one of the most respected DJs on the planet 🎶.

Anthony's career began with his iconic appearance on the cover of DJ Magazine in 2000 as part of the "Nu-Breed". Since then, his relentless pursuit of music perfection has taken him across the globe 🌎, gracing the decks at the world's best clubs and festivals. As a DJ and producer, Anthony's mastery of the craft is unparalleled 🏆. From his Nu-Breed mixes to his Global Underground and Renaissance releases, he's garnered over 100,000 sales 📀.

Local Legends: Jono Fernandez & Barrie Barton (B2B) 🔥

Not only do we have two international heavyweights headlining the night, but we're also bringing the heat with the Heaven nightclub legends: Jono Fernandez and Barrie Barton will be gracing the decks with an epic B2B set 🎧. These guys know how to work the crowd, creating that perfect Friction vibe we all love 🙌.
