Fantastic Man
also plays New York City — 2 nights
Fantastic Man is the long-running alias of Mic Newman — DJ, producer, and label head. Emerging from Melbourne’s club scene, he built an international reputation for his distinctive take on electronic music: spacious, hypnotic, and guided by a Balearic sensibility that gives even the most functional tracks a sense of drift.
For over a decade, Newman has maintained a catalogue that moves with the times but never scatters — staying fresh without ever feeling forced. While his music has appeared across a wide range of respected labels — mule musiq, Love on the Rocks, Kalahari Oyster Kult, Basic Spirit — it’s through his own imprint, Superconscious Records, that he’s released his most enduring work. Cult favourites like Trance Sexual, Sun Express, and the two-part Visions of Dance series marked defining moments: immersive, tripped-out, and quietly ambitious.
In 2024, a second label, Axis of People, opened further space to explore more club-ready output, with releases like the Axis of People EP and Genesis offering sharp distillations of his trademark approach. Solidifying a reputation not for volume, but for precision.
The rest of it — one more paragraph
There’s a restraint to his work — a refusal to overstate — that has led to lasting respect from peers across the scene. His records often circulate quietly among DJs before becoming staples in their sets, valued for their versatility and longevity. As both a producer’s producer and a DJ’s DJ, Newman brings the same clarity and intention to the booth as he does to the studio. Touring regularly, he continues to share his distinctive sound at respected clubs and festivals around the world.

Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
