She first gained attention by founding the underground rave NOCOMPLY in Tokyo and earned international recognition with her 2023 debut EP Soleil on Hole and Holland. In 2025, she released the hazy, acid-infused EP I Wanna Feel You on Australian label Animals Dancing. Later that year, she released her debut LP In Dream on Dutch label Music From Memory, a lush, intimate soundscape of digital synths, acid bass, and whisper-soft vocals. Drawing inspiration from nature, emotion, and quiet moments of wonder, the album blends balearic moods with dancefloor energy, capturing curiosity, optimism, and radiant positivity. As a DJ, Bailey has performed at renowned venues including Panorama Bar in Berlin, Womb in Tokyo, Klymax in Bali, Love International in Croatia, and Fuji Rock Festival, with regular appearances across Europe and Asia.Their RA profile lists Animals Dancing, Hole and Holland and Second Circle.Last at ://about blank in Aug · often with Sound Metaphors Djs, David Fogarty, Suzanne Ciani, none of them here that night

the whole biography
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. 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.Their RA profile lists Mule Musiq, Love On The Rocks, Superconscious Records, Kitjen and 2 more.often with Courtesy, Blue Hour, Berghain, none of them here that night
