Liam Richards

Can’t help but move to their sound~ Presenting the artists shaping the day, from deep listening to infectious dancefloor energy. This Saturday, Mar.28 @ Hyphen Spaces. SOUNDS [A-Z] [ Basscamp @bassc.amp ] Luan & Jasa are the live and DJ duo behind Basscamp, known for their endless grooves and technical finesse. Their collaboration finds the sweet spot between Luan’s classic dance music sensibilities and Java’s eclectic musical approach. With EPs ‘Technical Itch’ and ‘Hype / Whoops’, the pair have been making waves across Naarm and beyond. For Voyager 1, Luan steps in solo, representing Basscamp and crafting dancefloor magic. [ Explicit Joy @explicit__joy ] Explicit Joy is the DJ and production project of Naarm-based artist Liam, also the founder of Lny Design. A familiar presence on the club floor, he draws from a wide spectrum of energies and tones, with a soft spot for swing and groove. His sets balance emotion and rhythm with ease. As a producer, Explicit Joy has released the EP ‘Body Admin’, the collaborative EP ‘MotionActivated’ with Al Dente on Neurocrank, and contributed to a VA on Unrestricted Purpose. [ neko.ea @neko__ea ] neko.ea is a multi-disciplinary Indonesian artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Her work explores the abstract, experimental and the beautiful, blending Indonesia’s cultural heritage with an atonal, hauntological sound palette. Her EP ‘Wujud/Lenyap’, created in collaboration with CTP through Ethereal Distribution, weaves Southeast Asian textures and spoken word with driving techno rhythms. Traversing deeper, hypnotic, and polyrhythmic realms of dance music, her work has established a distinctive sonic presence both locally and internationally.

Since emerging in Naarm around 2020, Activator - the duo of Jaevin and Clay - have built a strong presence across the city’s dancefloors, appearing at parties like Confide, Neurotiq Erotiq and Diega. For Luminous this year they’ll be joined by close collaborator Explicit Joy for a special b3b session. A familiar face across parties like Mach 1 and Moniker, Explicit Joy brings his own playful energy into the mix. Three artists, shared circles, and plenty of chemistry behind the decks.

Motion Activated is officially out! And on bandcamp Friday…?! To you lucky Moniker punters, what was that you heard on the weekend 🔊🤨 yep that’s right - shoutout to Simon tk, pjenne and dj netburner for giving motion activated and the clone a run on that epic sound system by @purple_audio Wanna hear these tracks in the highest def at home? Maybe play them in the club? Head over to our bandcamp ❤️ much love, neuro 🛸

Our next release brings al dente and explicit joy together for a first joint outing. Two collaborative tracks and a solo track each showcase their shared tastes, blending al dente’s intricate percussion with explicit joy’s evolving modular leads. Squelches and warps give way to tonal surprises and vocal zaps, twisting familiar shapes into something constantly in motion. A playful detour that is the result of their distinctive styles coming together. Pre-order available now via Bandcamp, with full release on October 3, 2025. Produced by @al_dente______ & @explicit__joy Mixed and mastered by @mark.klon.dump Artwork by @lny_________graphics

Hi xx, Such a special moment being able to play with my partner in crime @geomuzak on a big rig, in front of an amazing crowd of dancers, and alongside some of the most talented artists. A huge thank you to the @mach.0ne_ organizers – such a kind and passionate crew! I’m really excited to see what they do next xx Came away feeling incredibly inspired 💕

Hi!! xx I'm so so excited to finally put out my first EP, Body Admin! It feels like forever in the making, but now I can share it with you all. All of these tracks have been deeply inspired by my experience of running and punting at park raves and the feeling you get when you disappear into yourself. A huge thankyou to Eugene the @mixwizard93 for making these track all they could be. Link in Bio!!
