As Australia rises as a global leader in electronic music, a few distinct mastheads of the form emerge. Sam Alfred is one of those, a fastidious DJ and precocious artist pushing the sound of Australian dance music and cultivating its growth in the global circuit. With sold-out shows across Asia, Europe and Australia, a memorable Boiler Room at AVA Festival in Belfast, and a number of well-rinsed releases under his belt, Sam Alfred is in a position of dominance. Stylistically, Sam Alfred is a conduit for the modern resurgence of 90s house, garage and techno. His music is large, thumping four-on-the-floor bangers suitable for massive sound systems and parties, akin to collaborators and friends X CLUB., LB aka LABAT, and SWIM. 2024’s Roadblocks EP, out on global tastemaker label Running Back, has moved the needle far in Sam Alfred’s favour, five flavourful house tracks that have moved dancefloors across the world. A thrilling collaboration with Kyle Starkey and acclaimed remix of Royel Otis later, 2024 has seen Sam Alfred placed firmly in dance music canon. The Egypt-born, Sudanese DJ’s performances epitomise his distinct sound, euphoric and maximal sets that absorb his crowds into one singular mass. Dominating the Australian circuit across stages at Pitch Music & Arts, Strawberry Fields and Beyond the Valley, Sam Alfred is now taking to festivals worldwide after a particularly successful European tour in 2024. As he effortlessly navigates jazz-tipped house, deep cuts, and UK garage, all with a distinct 90s lens, dance music feels brighter with Sam Alfred.Their RA profile lists Running Back and Gallery.Recently at Elsewhere · often with IN PARALLEL, Silva Bumpa, Watto, none of them here that night

Sean and Devin, a.k.a. Poolhaus, met in college through a shared love for electronic music and haven’t looked back. Since the project’s inception, the duo has landed releases on heavy-hitting house labels such as Club Sweat, Insomniac, and Solotoko, and have found their way onto lineups at some of the most sought-after venues and underground parties in NYC and beyond. Their affinity towards early dance music culture shows in their production style, which blends elements of modern house music with nostalgic sounds of the 90s/2000s rave era. Already boasting support from numerous global tastemakers, Poolhaus is quickly becoming a household name in the scene. Their new imprint PHAT TRAX aims to push club culture forward while staying rooted in the best parts of its past, both sonically and visually.Their RA profile lists Club Sweat, Stress Records, Solotoko and PHAT TRAX Label.Recently at The Sultan Room, Elsewhere, Dead Letter No. 9 · often with Beni Hana, Miata Boys, Jeny Michelle, none of them here that night
