Kiss FM - Dance Music Australia

It’s CHI WOW WAH TOWN ’s tenth anniversary – Australia’s most open-minded boutique electronic music,

arts, performance and wellness festival launched over the final weekend of February 2014 and the three-day camping event is returning to that slot on the calendar in 2024.

Get ready to rediscover nature to a soundtrack of deep organic house, techno, ambient and global electronic sounds.

CWWT has always been rooted in the life force “Chi”. It’s right there, embedded in the festival name, gesturing towards the event’s focus on fostering love, nourishing and revitalizing the spirit, and unlocking one’s potential. For its tenth birthday, the CWWT community, which is capped at an intimate 2500pax, will Return to Source and reengage with the festival’s founding motives.

The tenth-anniversary lineup features 14 international acts and 31 domestic artists spanning live performances and DJ sets.

Wellness, Healing and the Night of the Howling Moon

The team at CWWT HQ are not exaggerating when they say this will be an unforgettable weekend. CWWT is one of the most unique boutique festival experiences in the world, catering to just 2500 people. Beyond the deep, glowing hub of ecstasy that is the main stage arena, the three-day camping event is set up to make everyone feel completely free.

The Winton Wetlands event site – on Yorta Yorta Country, two hours north of Melbourne – is one of Victoria’s superior stargazing sites. During the daylight hours, punters can physically and spiritually immerse themselves in the area’s unsullied natural beauty, while meal times offer a chance to dine in nature and feel more in tune with the cycles and desires of the body.

The Saturday night of this year’s festival will be the Night of the Howling Moon ritual. The entire festival will join together to enact the ancient ritual of howling at the full moon. By releasing pent-up energy and difficult emotions, Chi Wow Wah-ians will gain a deeper connection with the natural world.

With on-site sound healing, yoga, and mind, body and spirit workshops, the three-day event will emphasise mind expansion. You’ll also be able to hop in a hot air balloon for a one-hour ride at sunrise, thereby witnessing the sprawling Winton Wetlands and surrounding Yorta Yorta Country from above.

Festival director Ewan Scott aka Uone says “CHI WOW WAH TOWN is not simply an occasion to break free from the shackles of the 40-hour work week, but to cleanse, reboot, and attain collective effervescence”

The concept of “collective effervescence” refers to a feeling of shared enlightenment, inspiration and non-egoistic joy. From this state of spiritual elevation, CWWT punters can leave the festival with more than just good memories and dusty personal items. You’ll be on a high that lasts – a deep and creative high, rich in empathy and optimism for the future.

One of the drum’n’bass producers responsible for shaping the sound of the Metalheadz label in the early ’90s, Digital was one of drum’n’bass’ most accomplished producers throughout the ’90s and into the next decade. Born Steve Carr in Ipswich, England, Digital became invovled with music at any early age, helping his dad with sound systems. Beginning in his teens, people began calling him by his psyduonym. Beginning in 1989, Digital spun reggae on local sound systems; however, the rave scene of the time began to infiltrate Ipswich, and Digital began getting interested in the quickly evolving scene, becoming friends with . Digital’s first production, “Touch Me,” was released by Timeless Records in 1992, followed by “Down Under.” The latter track drew the attention of , who’d heard spin it at the legendary Speed club, and soon Digital had joined forces with the Metalheadz camp.

Jam Hot presents Luke Una

Howler (Atrium)

Sunday 17th December 2023

Luke UNA (É Soul Cultura, UK)

Manchester-based Luke Una has been causing havoc on the dancefloor for the best part of 40 years. With an eclectic style that shifts between slower tempo Balearic house and disco to rapid-fire industrial, the DJ, producer, and promoter has carved out a niche in the dance music scene that has never once gone overlooked.

Luke Una has been essential to the birth of some of Manchester’s most important club nights including Electric Chair, which he ran in partnership with Justin Crawford for some 13 years, and Homoelectric, a queer Manchester staple that egged on the launch of Homobloc festival. His legacy continues rife in Manchester’s club scene and has permeated through the city’s ever-growing queer community and underground club nights over the years.

Luke performs @howlermelbourne with the @jamhot_music crew on Sunday December 17th. Event runs from 2pm for a classic day session in the Howler atrium. Hit the link in bio for tickets.

Jam Hot is regular club night in Naarm/Melbourne featuring DJ Swella, Wahl & MBq playing disco, boogie, house & such. Also chipping in on support duties is DJ Friday of Other World Other Sounds and PBS Headhunters.

Born and based in Berlin, Lars Huisman started his musical journey in 2011. Over the past five years, Lars’ musical evolution has undergone a significant transformation, heavily influenced by the early 2000s tribal techno era.

Lars’ distinctive style blends swift tribal rhythms, sharp synth patterns, and a clear essence of Detroit techno, establishing a sonic landscape that’s both unique and instantly recognizable. Rooted in his background as a jazz drummer, his productions also incorporate rich chords, adding layers of sophistication to his music.

In 2022, Lars achieved a pivotal milestone with the release of his Trilogy, “Sounds From The Past,” on Mutual Rytm. This Trilogy comprises three EPs, each embarking on a sonic odyssey through the diverse facets of early techno.

Lars navigates various sub genres, including Dub techno and Latin-influenced tribal music, showcasing his exceptional versatility.

When viewed from the perspectives of both a producer and a DJ, Lars’ style also delves into the darker realms of early 2000s tribal techno. He offers a raw and intense experience for enthusiasts of techno’s underground origins.

With a penchant for genre-blending and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music, Lars consistently remains at the forefront of innovation while preserving the timeless essence of music that will resonate long into the future.
