Event Details

Join us for an eclectic mix of live jazz-infused jungle/breaks from Australia’s finest experimental fusion artists.

High-energy DJ sets will kick the night off before the bands take the stage to perform live originals of jazz-infused breaks/jungle. 


Featuring DJ sets from: Taej, Arky Waters
Live: Eli (Naarm), Zeroing  

A bare-bones yet colossal sound, Zeroing flips and mangles its jazz-trio sensibilities to new heights, blending heavy freak-outs with dub infused grooves and screeching noise. Built around nothing but a strong love for the local scene, the brand-new project made up of Danny Rispler, John Troughton and Béla Hajdu is an amalgamation of all they’re inspired by. 


Eli is a project from Melbourne artist/producer Luca Pascucci who is making a unique blend of alternative-dance music which can be likened to a mix between Skin On Skin, Nia Archives, Bladee, Jane Remover, & Sassy009. Moving through 2025 we will see Eli moving into a more jazz-focused live set - expect to hear striking synthesizers, spacey guitars, subs and dance influenced drumming, lulling listeners from ethereal, airy soundscapes to gritty, indie electronica, jungle and Dnb.


Arky Waters is a Sydney-based producer blending breakbeat culture with swelling techno influences. His latest release, Johera, merges hard bass with earthy textures, crafting a sonic landscape that is just as captivating as it is introspective. Get ready for a deep dive into flavours of jungle, dnb and high-bpm techno. 


Taej is an up and coming Sydney DJ spinning bold, dynamic sounds of jungle and dnb. Fresh off her debut show at the established ‘Bump In’ Sydney, we are excited to see what she has in store to kick off the night.
