LÂLKA - Borneo-born, Meanjin-based LÂLKA creates effervescent glitch future club music with high-octane aesthetics. The producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and DJ presents her work through the lens of her own experiences as a queer woman of colour with palatial ferocity and energy. With her unique vocal style and dynamism that comes to life through her performances and online presence, the classically-trained musician forms a niche musical sphere that is entirely her own. She has performed at festivals such as St Jerome's Laneway Festival, FOMO and BIGSOUND, and has supported the likes of international artist Charli XCX and Aria-winner Genesis Owusu, amongst others.
STØNEWÅX - STØNEWÅX is a unique and enigmatic experimental artist and producer who takes listeners on a sonic expedition through his cyber-trip. With a satirical mind and an unquenchable thirst for post-genre beats, he creates a one-of-a-kind musical experience that transcends traditional boundaries. Based on the Sunshine Coast of Australia, STØNEWÅX (AKA Steve Summers) has honed his craft working with esteemed producers/composers Paulie B and OJ Newcomb at Yama-Nui Recording Studio and has collaborated on numerous records with a diverse range of artists. For STØNEWÅX, creating music is a form of meditation, a way to escape the confines of reality and explore new sonic landscapes. His unique approach to music production is a testament to his dedication to the art form and his passion for experimentation.
