Many a fantastical party had down under the old Swan Hotel… Let it be known, the time has finally come for another! The passionate Europhiles at Backtrack, Circuit Central, and Oochie Koochie represent the Perth Massive with: Loose Strands, an extendo afternoonvning of uncut adventure at the loudest basement in town; a triple header of travelling wax wizards hailing from The Continent’s best kept secret… The wet and wild lands of Belgium. Belgium fries low and slow under the global radar. Beneath the muted skies and down the cobbled streets, burning away within her gritty heartland stands the utterly inconspicuous city of Brussels. Centuries of serious celebration have imbued her with an intangible zest… pizzazz… magic. Musical artefacts not-found-on-YouTube flow through town like space through time, and on the fringes - though central to it all - a devout circle of collectors pluck, pick, and place these supernatural spinning plates at the city’s frequent dance music rituals.  
Straight from the source, DJ Rino and Kuba’97 make their debut on our red dirt, accompanied by good friend and West Coast favourite, Walrus, back for seconds! Three of the heads behind the most notorious Brusselian ceremony, Beautiful Freaks, ready to make good on their Austral Summer. Come and indulge yourself in three bags full of their exceptionally well researched tastes.  We can only hope you’re as excited as they are. This is one for the boeken.       ✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣✣ 𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦 On sale now via Oztix. 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 > 6th December, 1400-0000 > Stuff to eat: AVAILABLE! (Deets l8r) > Jerks stay home.

Boorloo’s prime mover, Button, surfaces on Backtrack with a beautifully austere collection of music that moves like he. A husky drumbeat leads into the shallows of the Aqualoop EP. Days Gone By showcases Button’s consummate approach to sound selection. The dancer-producer spares no effort on the finer details of their output. Zippy and fervent with a positively psycho groove, where the orphic opener eases into the release, the rampant bass and jackin’ perx of tune deux demand dancefloor attention, posthaste! Horns of war and feral screams are rinsed out and cut short as the tune spirals further and further into mach one madness. Safe and sound on the digital flip, the eponymous original. A melancholic odyssey of hydrothermal synths bubbling away under the surface of tops and bobbing congas. Good pal and Backtrack CTO, Aphid, closes the circle with a deep-as-abyssal, clean-as-a-whistle rework of the title track, rounding out an already exceptionally well-rounded release. Button - Aqualoop EP is now available for all listening environments. (links in bio) Produced by Button. @camweron Mastering and Remix by Aphid. @lawsonayers Words by Rett <3 @robot_rett Released on Backtrack, 2025.

At long last, Backtrack draws the curtain on their Summer long hiatus. From the late night to the very early morning, the alluring hall of Perth’s Latviešu Centrs will be set ablaze in a show for the ages. Tickets via Eventbrite - 30/05/22 @ 6PM 🎫 Artwork by Jack Hewitt (@beautifulshrubs )

@back7rack Ep. 4 w/ Mintox | 18/07/2025 | 10am WST Naarm-via-Boorloo based DJ MINTOX makes a much-welcomed return to the RTR frequencies for the final chapter of Backtrack’s RTR2 residency. A mainstay across RTRFM’s grid and dancefloors during their Boorloo stint, voyage through two-hours of trippy and wonky pub chuggers and after party wigglers, featuring some of their new and old faves across ambient, dub and house.

Backtrack Ep. 3 w/ James Jovanoski | 03/07/25 | 10 am @james.jovanoski is at the wheels of steel for Backtrack's third entry into the RTR2 canon, sending us back to the good old times in two clicks of the fingers and concocting a curation containing dub house, techno, club-forward hip shakers and a sprinkle of old school electro from Detroit, London & beyond…

@back7rack Ep. 1 w/ @robot_rett | 6/6/25 | 10am For Episode 1 of the @back7rack Residency, Robot Rett is in the hot seat! Moving between pockets of more atmospheric tunes that have begun to form in his collection and showcasing a few of his most treasured records sourced from friends in Perth 💫 Big one! Tune in!

Backtrack, Move, and Step Count join forces on Sat 28th Dec for what promises to be a party to remember! Take a look into our (not so distant) pasts to revisit some favourite dance floor moments at each of our respective events! We share a deep passion for underground sounds and a penchant for heady rhythmic dance floor experiences, so we are simply stoked to come together for the first time for what feels like a collaboration for the ages and surely greater than the sum of our parties!... we can’t wait to dance with you! 🫵 💕 @back7rack , @m.o.v.e.perth & @stepcountevents 💕

At the tail end of the year lies seven consecutive days… A time where Boorloo well and truly flies off the handle. Call it what you wish! We’re all privy to what goes down: One whole week of living it large in the now-notorious, party time pandemonium that is Perth’s Xmas-NYE period. 🌞 @m.o.v.e.perth , @stepcountevents , and @back7rack throw their hat in the ring with a gargantuan show that splits the fabled week right down the middle. With four incredible out-of-towners taking the reigns on Funktion One sound, the evening is set to cruise from mellow to madness at a beautiful, but blistering pace. Snatch up your one-way express ticket to Mental Central - this runaway collaboration stops at no stations except its final destination.

Boorloo resident Aphid pushes out a live wire three-track release on local label & event curator: Backtrack.
