Thanks so much to everyone who came by for my @a3festival set last Sunday. I really appreciate the support on the day and the many kind messages afterwards <3 It was a quick 45 minutes, but I had such a great time playing for you all. Big thanks to the teams at @a3festival , @wearenovel and @interval.melb for the trust and support as always. If you want to listen back, leave a comment and I’ll send over a link to the recording xx 🎥 // @kayra.mericc

Still buzzing from @a3festival . Opening the A2 stage for the entire festival and the @guerrilla.au showcase last Friday was an experience I’ll never forget! I’d like to thank @maccamac13 , @_generalzeng , and the @guerrillaagency.au crew for believing in me and having my back every step of the way. Also very appreciative of @gummsound , @mordi_mcfly & the rest of the @wearenovel family for having me on, for building such an insane stage, and for running a flawless festival. Swipe to relive some moments through the lens of @charlie.hurd → Until next year A3 🖤

Our hearts are still so full from our set on the Dr. Dans stage at @beyondthevalleyfest this year! We thought tonight could be a good time to dump some clips and release the recording so here it is … Swipe across to see some highlights and stream the set on soundcloud via the link in our bios. Thank you to @brentonchan , @maccamac13 , @beyondthevalleyfest and @untitledgroupau for making this happen! 🫶🏼 🎥 // @charlie.hurd

Finally found the time to post about what went down at Syncopate a couple of weeks ago. We poured so much heart and soul into this festival, and it was all so worth it. Some back story for those interested… We believed in the original concept from day one, but a month out, things weren’t looking good at all. We were far behind on sales and seriously considering relocating to a smaller and less special venue just to make it work. It felt like the absolute last resort, but it was close to happening. (locking in your tickets early to support events like this is so important!!) Shortly after, one of our main acts cancelled their tour due to uncertainty around flights through the Middle East. With so much on the line, these were some of the most stressful weeks I’ve experienced in the industry so far. The team pulled together under pressure, and somehow we turned it around to host over 2000 people. Many long days and late nights, but I wouldn’t change a thing. It was genuinely inspiring, and so rewarding to be part of. I’ve been backing the UKG sound for the past five years, and it’s been incredible to watch its momentum grow year by year. To run something at this scale, built around the sound was a dream come true. It’s safe to say Melbourne hasn’t seen something quite like this before. A multi-thousand person festival in nature, centred around UKG and bass genres, with two stages, six international artists, and four interstate DJs. From day one, we framed it as a celebration of community and culture, and that’s exactly what it became. Massive thanks to everyone involved. You know who you are, and we couldn’t have done this without you. 2027 return? 👀 @syncopate.au
