HEADLINERS🕺
PAPA SMURF
Step up for the most entertaining DJ in Australia. Over the last 18 months the name of Papa Smurf has become one of the local club scene’s biggest drawcards. However, this is not new territory for the scene veteran; his electrifying personality and euphoric old-school trance sets are a well known to the older heads. At the start of the millennium, Papa Smurf was one of the biggest promoters and names in the local trance scene, synonymous with crowd-pleasing sets and high energy performances. After hanging up his headphones, it was a one-off booking at the 2020 Pitch Music & Arts festival which introduced the legend and his old-school trance sounds to a whole new generation. What followed was the stuff of local legend. Since then, the recorded Pitch set has amassed over 74k plays, and he has sold out four headline shows. We cannot be more excited to host one of the most entertaining DJs in all of Australia.
BELLA CLAXTON
There aren’t many local artists with Bella Claxton’s enthusiasm. That infectious energy flows organically into her DJ sets. Think artists like HAAi, Job Jobse and Sally C, and you are almost there. Not only does she share their disregard for genre labels, but also their absolute joy for unearthing dancefloor gems from all decades. That ability to link the old and new is impressive, and she expertly fuses 90s house vocals with modern maximal rave energy. It is a highly irresistible combination that has led to consistent bookings at clubs from Xe54 to Glamorama. She is also an active member of the local dance music community, enabling local talent to reach a wider audience via her online station, In House Radio. That brand has turned into a regular club night selling out its current home: The Gasometer. Her sound is honest and undeniable, and a huge reason why Novel signed her to their new artist agency. Bella Claxton is about to go turbo, don’t get left behind.
