- “Entry is at the discretion of our door staff.”
Few labels combine their insatiable hunger for exploration with a strong and distinct sonic palette like Melbourne’s Animalia. The Aussie crew brings the best of Naarm and beyond for this marathon takeover, full of psychedelic steppers, atmospheric club wormholes, and other unknown frontiers.
From heady forest dub to gently sparkling rhythmic ear candy, Lot Radio regular Simisea is on opening duties to guide us into the sonic wilderness. The smoke clears at 1AM for a live nocturnal dreamscape from Louis Marlo, founder of fellow Naarm-based label Felt Sense Recordings. And London DJ/producer darling Mia Koden blends the best of UK dubstep, drum ‘n bass, and soundsystem music beneath dark canopies of bass during the late night hours.
Melbourne-based Moopie takes over in the early morning, guiding the sun above the horizon with a steady supply of hypnotic and driving floor-fillers, while renowned sonic philosopher Fred P fills the remainder of the AM hours from a deep bag of jazzy and uplifting house selections. Finally, label boss and Nowadays resident Kia takes the reins for the home stretch, building and deconstructing the pulsing and surreal rhythmic landscapes that put her and Animalia on the map.

their own biography
the whole biography
Fred P, also known as Black Jazz Consortium, is a pivotal figure in the deep house and electronic music landscape. With over two decades of sonic exploration, his music transcends the dance floor, serving as both a personal and collective journey into introspection and transformation. Rooted in spirituality, authenticity, and innovation, Fred’s sound is a conduit for emotional resonance—a universal language designed to uplift and inspire. Born and raised in New York City, Fred’s formative years were shaped by the city’s vibrant underground scene, where the legacies of Larry Heard, Frankie Knuckles, and Strictly Rhythm’s golden era left an indelible mark. However, his artistry extends far beyond his influences. "My service is to the music, and the music is for the people," Fred once said—a testament to his ethos of creating with purpose and intention. His prolific catalog, including standout releases like States of Bliss, 6AM, and the Rhythms from the Road series, showcases his fearless blend of ambient textures, jazz inflections, and hypnotic house grooves. Through his labels—Soul People Music, Private Society, and the newly launched Collective Resource—Fred has cultivated spaces for sonic experimentation, offering everything from secret DJ weapons to deeply meditative compositions. Fred’s DJ sets are immersive experiences, known for their seamless storytelling and ability to guide dancers through reflective, soul-stirring territories. Whether performing at institutions like Panorama Bar, Tresor, or in intimate spaces around the world, he crafts atmospheres where music becomes a transformative force. His commitment to evolution is equally evident in projects like his long-form work Counterpoise, his subscriber-focused releases on Private Society, and the forthcoming live Black Jazz Consortium trio, blending electronics with organic instrumentation. After relocating to Berlin in 2012 and navigating the solitude of the pandemic, Fred found renewed clarity, deepening his connection to music and community. His post-lockdown work reflects this growth—raw, heartfelt, and infused with the wisdom of lived experience. Beyond the decks and the studio, his e-book Pathways To Sonic Alchemy delves into the philosophy behind his craft, offering insights into sound as both art and a tool for self-discovery. Fred P continues to stand as a beacon of integrity in electronic music—an artist whose sound is as timeless as it is transformative.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Renaissance, NRK Music, Get Physical Music and 6 more.Recently at Under the K Bridge, public records, BASEMENT · often with Lakuti, Morgan, Marie Lung, none of them here that night
