Super excited to announce Iâll be making a long-awaited return to where it all began for an amazing day of tunes courtesy of the homies Depth đ
Not only am I blessed to be playing alongside some of my favourite artists and oldest friends, but the open air event in the lush rainforest foothills is also totally free to attend, so thereâs no barrier to everyone coming along for a dance.
Iâve been more than a little quiet on the DJ front of late, but as we approach the 20th Anniversary of Open Records later this year, Iâm super pumped to be back doing what I love again.
I actually had the pleasure of releasing the first ever GMJ tune on Open way back in 2008, so itâs a nice full circle moment with my old mate Gav as we head towards the big milestone celebrations. More on that soon!
Huge thanks to the photographic genius that is @ibanez.media for capturing these photos of our set at Earth Frequencyâs 20th Anniversary Edition at Woodfordia âď¸đĽ
We were a little worried that the wet and wild weather meant we might not see any photos but Luis is amazing and braved the conditions to get these amazing shots. Again a huge thank you to everyone who went crazy with us in the rain and stuck with us through all the challenges that came with it.
Weâll never forget this one and we have so much gratitude for each and every one of you!
What a vibe đ

Tonight in Brisbane! Laid Out their debut with an epic show featuring Time Before Eyes, Hood Rich, Christopher Brooks, Coco Brown, Summers and more! With rumbling Funktion 1 sound, epic lighting and a proper warehouse venue, this one is going to be one for the books! Donât sleep on this đ
A couple of Sundays ago we had the absolute pleasure of playing the mighty Vertex stage at Earth Frequencyâs 20th Anniversary Edition at Woodfordia.
Sandwiched between Sun Control Species, Antix and D-Sens, it was a quintessential Earth Frequency Sunday session and a fitting celebration of two decades of Queenslandâs longest-standing and best-loved festival.
It was a special moment for both of us, but especially Jesse. Not only are they three of his biggest inspirations since the early days of his DJ career, but they were also the first artists signed to Open Records for his debut compilation Slow-Release in 2007. To play alongside them again at such a milestone was truly an honour.
After days of sweltering heat and humidity, the skies finally opened late on Sunday afternoon. Rain poured as the storm hit, but instead of clearing out, the crowd went wild. At one point they were screaming so loud you could hear them over the booth monitors and headphones!
Then disaster struck. Midway through our sixth track, Weekend Heroesâ classic Fear Factor from Open Recordsâ Expansion Pack, the sound system went down.
The crowd stuck around (still screaming, no doubt!) but eventually thinned as the crew worked to fix it. They got things running again and we finished our set minus booth monitors, cutting it short to stay on schedule. The energy returned with the crowd and we were stoked to close with a couple of Willâs brand-new tunes.
Massive thanks to everyone for your incredible vibes through rain and silence alike, to the EFF production crew for getting us back on track, and to Paul Abad for giving us the honour of that Vertex timeslot.
Weâve re-recorded the set as it would have been, live and in one take, on a pair of ageing CDJ-900s with a broken cue button on the left side. Apart from a touch of volume normalisation, we did very little post-production, so itâs as raw and real as if we were there. Listen now on Soundcloud and let us know what you think in the comments!
Big love,
Boy With Kuch (aka Will & Jesse)

Weâre absolutely stoked to be returning retuning to the mothership for Earth Frequency Festivalâs 20th Anniversary Edition!
Earth Frequency isnât just another party. Itâs the beating heart of the Australian doof community and Queenslandâs longest running electronic music festival.
To be blessed to perform in such an amazing timeslot at the event where it all began for us is an absolute honour, especially to celebrate the 20-year anniversary. Big thanks to Paul Abad and all the team for having faith in us once again đ
We canât wait to see you all on the dancefloor and give that epic Vertex rig a nudge. See you in October at Woodfordia đđđ
Today in Brisbane! Cioz makes his debut in the River City with open air vibes in Bakery Lane, Void Acoustics sound, killer supports and even free pizza! It doesnât get better than this đ
We are honoured to announce that will be on warm up duties for the mighty Township Rebellion in Brisbane in September.
Anyone who has caught one of our sets knows we are huge fans of the German maestros of melodic techno and we are beyond pumped to be put on support duties. The only tough thing will be we canât play any Township Rebellion!
Big thanks to Atta and the good folks at Summer Loop for having us! First round tickets have already been snapped up, so make sure you grab one early before they are gone. Bring it đ
Absolutely huge night of music in Brisbane tonight courtesy of our good friends at @profoundsoundsentertainment ⌠not often you see line-ups like this in Queensland and you know the production will match the quality of the tunes!
