Announcement Time!
I’m ecstatic to be returning to Australia for the 5th time in mid May for a 4 city tour, which culminates in playing at Sydney Opera House with my old friends Mad Racket for @vividsydney - which is an absolutely mindblowing prospect.
I clearly remember Simon Caldwell playing my track ‘Exhalt’ in 2010 which led to my first booking for Racket in 2011, so to be invited to play at SOH 14 years later feels kinda full circle. WYBES!
I will also be finally leaving the airport in Dubai on the way out.
UAE:
17/05 - Honeycomb Hi-Fi, Dubai
AUSTRALIA:
23/05 - Paradiso Music Room, Byron/Bundjalung
24/05 - Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane/Meeanjin
26/05 - Sunset with Simon Caldwell, FBI Radio, Sydney/Eora
30/05 - Tomorrowland w/ Edd Fisher, PBS FM, Melbourne/Naarm
30/05 - Music Room, Melbourne/Naarm
31/05 - Mad Racket @ Sydney Opera House, Sydney/Eora
I’m looking forward to catching up with old friends and also this will be my first time ever playing in Byron and Brisbane so that’s exciting too!
Huge thanks to everyone for booking me and also to James at @electronicmusiclife for helping put the tour together.

Cheb Moha opens the night, a DJ and creative visionary known for uncovering rare sounds from the Middle East and North Africa and blending them with global electronic and underground music. Raised across Libya, Iraq and Canada, his sets move between analog warmth, dusty grooves and contemporary club energy. Music that tells a story and rewards attentive ears.
Following him, Dar Disku, a London‑and‑Bahrain‑based duo and label, take over with their signature fusion of vintage Arab disco, rare regional edits and modern electronic rhythms. They’ve made a name for themselves curating and reworking hidden gems from across the Arab world into forward-thinking, dancefloor-ready sets.
This is a night for curious listeners, a chance to hear music you won’t find on playlists. Immersive, unexpected and unforgettable from the first beat to the last.

We’re thrilled to be working with SOLE DXB once again. After nearly a decade of collaborating with one of the region’s most forward-thinking festivals in different capacities, it’s an honour to be back this year.
Once again, SOLE DXB delivers exceptional curation and programming, impeccable production, and a truly top-tier international festival experience. It’s no surprise they continue to return stronger every year — the depth and quality of this year’s lineup speaks for itself.
This time, we’re proud to be bringing DAR DISKU, in collaboration with Patrón.
We’ve watched the DAR DISKU boys evolve into outstanding artists since relocating to London, consistently hitting international stages and refining their sound over the past several years. Seeing them return to the region to showcase their productions, DJ craft, and musical vision feels like a full-circle moment.
