Talat Ahmed

A rising talent in Meanjin’s rave scene - @talatt____ comes to Phrygia with a deep and mystical progressive bush techno & trance mix 🥾🌳 Drawing from a wide array of inspiration across the dance spectrum, Talat flexes his creative prowess by weaving together genres such as house, prog, trance, techno and elements of bass and garage to build a bouncy and atmospheric hour. The mix begins slowly and subtly escalates as the basslines get deeper and the hats begin to open up - creating a whirlpool of energy that sucks the listener in 🌪️ This set proves he’s a clear student of the dancefloor and all-round great human. Talat frequently supports almost every gig in the city and has become a huge part of the community. We’re blessed to have him onboard for our 10th mix and are proud to platform such a great role-model for other artists. Talat has curated a club night in Brisbane in 2 weeks time that features an all-star local line up. We urge everyone to head in and gear up for a stellar dance event ✨ Talat / Phrygia Recordings 010

Refuge Presents: Ed Kent 22nd May 8pm to 1am @edkent_ A standout presence within the new guard of selectors, Ed Kent has spent over a decade honing his craft and carving out a distinct voice defined by an unshakable sense of conviction and commitment. His no-limits approach to selection and genre-hopping has earned him a place on some of the country’s most esteemed lineups, where he has sought to challenge expectations and sidestep current trends in favour of timeless sonic exploration. Forgotten House B-Sides, rolling Techno Tools and Deranged No Wave Curveballs all land in the mix with considered intent, resulting in an experience which is both unpredictable and enthralling. Joining Ed is a lineup of upcoming local talent @__mr.memo @miracle.passing @haylo.hehe @talatt____ See you there
