Iconic party-starter Fatboy Slim returns to Australia for his BIGGEST EVER TOUR with very special guests DJ Seinfeld, CC:DISCO! and Jennifer Loveless.

Untitled Group are proud to present the return of Sultan + Shepard to Australia this March. The Canadian electronic duo are set to bring their melodic house and progressive sounds to Naarm/Melbourne and Eora/Sydney for two electrifying DJ shows this March.

Sultan + Shephards weekly radio show DIALEKT airs on KISS FM exclusively in Australia every Friday Night/Saturday Morning at 1am.

From a serendipitous meeting at a Montreal club in 2002, Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard have forged one of dance music’s most compelling partnerships.

Their career boasts collaborations with iconic artists such as Dillon Francis and Tiësto, and remixes for global superstars including Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, and Madonna.

Their contributions to the electronic music scene have garnered critical acclaim, with highlights including a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording (Bruno Mars’ ‘Locked Out Of Heaven’) and two Juno Award nominations for Best Dance Recording. In November last year, the duo merged three of their most acclaimed bodies of work into Circle In Time: The Trilogy.

With unique performances that blend progressive house, melodic basslines, and emotive vocals, don’t miss your chance to see these pioneers live! 

The launch of Trip___ sets the tone with a carefully curated night of deep, rolling grooves and hypnotic rhythms. For this first edition, we welcome a PER HAMMAR, an artist whose productions have become staples in the minimal house scene. With releases on esteemed underground labels such as Dirty Hands, Moss Co., Pleasure Zone, Bass Culture, and Constant Sound, his sound is defined by tight, groove-heavy percussion, warm dub textures, and an undeniable dancefloor energy.

Joining them is a strong lineup of local selectors: Yarra, Mark Sewell, Fro, and Skyyy, each bringing their own refined take on groove-driven, stripped-back sounds. Expect an intimate dancefloor, deep cuts, and pure energy from start to finish.

Dystopia will cover topics of mental health, racism, transphobia, sexism and more. Here is our chance to mourn, scream and express our attitudes towards the state of the world through experimental live singing, acting, burlesque, drag, poetry and more.

Featuring:

The January event was a blast and the crew cannot wait to be back!
EziStreat is a food hall and beer garden in the heart of North Melbourne celebrating street food and community.
The Sound Project will be transforming the venue into another open air day party, bringing in a Funkton One sound system and visual delights.
TSP love transforming interesting spaces that aren’t typically used for this style of event, so that we can bring our family together to enjoy a unique experience.

No phones on the dancefloor:
There’s nothing quite like a dancefloor completely present in the moment, uninterrupted by phones and people filming. A space to be vulnerable and dance like no one’s watching.
We ask that no phones are used on the dancefloor and there’ll be other sections of the venue available for phone use.
_______________________________
Acknowledgement of Country:
We have much to learn from those who better understand how to walk softly on this earth.
This event will be taking place on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples. Their connection with the land, their innate culture of sustainability is something we open our minds and hearts to embrace and practice.
We honour their traditions and respect their elders, past, present and emerging. May we all together heal this beautiful planet, and find harmony as one global human community.
