A sun-soaked broadcast from two of Naarm's favourite selectors.⁠ ⁠ @waxoparadiso started out as a record fair in the mid-2010s. Since then, it's grown into a beloved event series and now a record label, with @eddfisher and @simon_tk 's becoming pillars of Naarm's scene, crafting paradisiacal musical worlds wherever they go. The duo gatherings drift from amphitheatres to old convents and open fields, each shaped by that breezy, open-hearted energy they're known for.⁠ ⁠ Their RA.1014 mix carries the same warmth. Think of it as Australian Balearic: eclectic explorations through rolling shades of dance music, laced with licks of '90s prog and tech house, the spiritual foundation of any good bush doof. ⁠ ⁠ Ten years in, Wax'o Paradiso's focus remains steady: to build community, elevate local voices and share the music they love. Their RA Mix is a clear extension of that mission: warm, generous and rooted in the place they call home.⁠ ⁠ Listen to RA.1014 and read the interview via the 🔗 in bio.⁠

Some very fun gigs coming up this Taurus Season 🐂♉️ including two extra special B2Bs with two of the greatest deejays in the country. This Saturday I’m the middle of a hot Ed(d) sandwich, for Wax’o Paradiso’s first ever back to back with the one and only @edkent_ . We’re super excited to be blessed with a whopping four hours in which to stretch out and share music with each other. I just found out Ed and I also share the same birthday which ticks over on the night so come give us a bday smooch! 😘 Then next Friday, a long overdue rematch all nighter at Sub Club with queen, icon and house music luminary @djjnett . Few people in this town have influenced me as much as JNETT and the baby DJ in my is still pinching with me that we get to share a booth 🥶 We’re locking in for 7+ hours from 10pm until ???????? The last one was a sweaty one so grab your ticket or arrive early to secure a spot! May 9 - Wax’o Paradiso b2b Ed Kent @ Bitter Ivy May 15 - B2B DJ JNETT All Night Long @ Sub Club Tix Via RA

This Saturday, stalwarts and icons meet up-and-coming motion as an extended B3B between @waxoparadiso & @edkent_ takes place for the very first time under the @bitterivy.au banner. 4 hours of spectrum-spanning selections await as the trio tear through all manner of peak-time hits and low-slung curveballs alike. Final tickets now live, see you there…

Got to meet Kenji-San and some other fun bits ❤️

If it’s nice, play it twice! 🫡 After a raucous extended session last year, it’s time to run it back with a reunion all-nighter from @djjnett and @simon_tk 🫂🔊 This May 15, join two DJs who together have canvassed several decades of Naarm clubland. They’ll be going into all 5 corners of their record bags, canvassing selections old and new, near and far, all over an extended 7+ hour b2b marathon on the monstrous Sub Club sound system. 🚨 True icon and house luminary Janette Pitruzzello has been a staple fixture and originator in Melbourne’s music industry since the early 90s. JNETT is someone whose formidable technical skill and encyclopaedic musical knowledge are matched only by her radiant positive energy. From countless sweaty club throwdowns both home and abroad, to festival sets that have become the stuff of folklore, JNETT is someone who has truly transcended cult status into the stuff of legend! ❤️ Across his over-a-decade long involvement in all areas of the scene, Simon TK has run numerous parties such as Wax’o Paradiso and Club D’erange, and co-founded community online platform Skylab Radio. From his deep musical knowledge to his community-first ethos, Simon TK continues to inspire, connect, and challenge, embodying the spirit of Melbourne’s ever-evolving music culture.

Polaroid from the @miscellania_ wall of shame from when I asked for shots on tick 🤦🏽‍♀️ They’re letting me back in the building for some reason for a double trouble this weekend! Sat night closing out @clubconfide with bestie @ephacy_ 1-3am Then Sunday we’re bringing the whole @waxoparadiso experience all day from 2pm. Playing with bestie @eddfisher 9pm - 11pm. Shots on me for whoever makes it to both 🙏🏽🔒

✱ Simon TK (he/him) B2B Ephacy (she/her) Bringing us home this Saturday night is the combined force of two close friends, Simon TK and Ephacy. It’s hard to overstate the impact that Simon TK has had on the local music community across his over-a-decade long involvement in all areas of the scene. At the heart of this involvement is Simon’s expansive musical knowledge. An exceptionally versatile DJ, Simon is one of those rare selectors you could call upon to soundtrack almost any occasion — not just appropriately but perfectly. In 2018 he co-founded Skylab, an online radio station that has become a vital platform for diverse musical voices and showcasing the very best in local and international talent. He also built, curated and cultivated the now-institution that is Wax’o Paradiso alongside long-term collaborator Edd Fisher. Ephacy is a Boorloo-based DJ, radio presenter, curator and party organiser whose work is interwoven with the city’s evolving underground. Her sound draws from early 2000s progressive house and tech house, weaving in dubby textures, swampy low-end and flashes of pop sensibility. A founding member of the collective Sealed Section, co-curator of the hot and heavy Hornay Saunay parties, curator of the re-me-dē mix series, and voice of Full Frequency on RTRFM alongside Skylab Radio’s Steam Xone, she has spent years contributing to and cultivating dancefloors across Western Australia and beyond, producing independent events and shaping spaces defined by freedom, expression and immersive sound. @simon_tk @ephacy_ Photo by @karl_halliday — Saturday 18th April 2026 8pm–3am @miscellania_ Door tickets available from 8pm.

To close out our season we’re heading to club mode with a rooftop-to-club throwdown at legendary nightspot @miscellania_ @simonacastricum In many ways this party was born of a question… How many arpeggios are there in Simona’s record bag??? The producer, DJ, bandleader, sonic archivist and spatial innovator has been a huge inspiration to us, linking different scenes and genres with dextrous ease. From lived experience with sweaty Hi-NRG, jagged synth pop and saw-toothed electro, through the techno sheds of the 90s into the club scene of now, Simona has been a huge part of the evolution of electronic music and queer club culture in Naarm. She’s been off the tools of late but has agreed to bless us with a rare-as-hen’s teeth club appearance. Not one to miss! ❤️ @katiepearson.dj No stranger to a Wax’o Party, Katie Pearson has racked up more WP appearances than most! The last time she came through was for our tenth anniversary party, and the time feels right to run it back. She’s one of our favourite deejays and people in the world. Lock up your funky clown noses it’s Katie Pearson! 🤡 ❤️ @work__wife ROOFTOP DAY PARTY (4H) Before we head downstairs we’re kicking things off on the Rooftop with Work Wife! The duo of Jo Christy and b. Caszh who through their self titled parties and myriad club and festival appearances have cemented themselves as mainstays of the circuit. They canvas a wide range of styles whilst still maintaining a distinct Work Wife sound. Bouncing progressive, jacking chicago, breaks, UKG, a smidge of silliness and bumpin’ all the way. 😮‍💨 @elsieneweh One of the MANY things we love about Elsie is that she does it all. From club, to dub, to pub, the community radio mainstay and head of programming at Skylab has a depth of musical knowledge that far defies her age. Her work in the community and warm nature have earned her a well-deserved status as a crowd and DJ’s favourite alike, as evidenced by a staggering run of festival appearances over the last 12 months. We’re proud as hell to have Elsie take the wheel and close it all out! Entry on the roof is FREE from 2 - 4pm, subject to availability 🏃🏽‍♀️ TIX - RA 🎨 @beautifulshrubs
