With a broad taste palette and curatorial ear, Skeleten has drawn from different scenes and sounds to pull together two dynamic and boundary-pushing lineups. In Eora/Sydney, an extended night will be guided by FBi alumni Killian’s post-punk and deep bassline inflected club experience, Shady Nasty and their weirdo breed of punk, a DJ set from prolific musical polymath Jono Ma, and a b2b set from Adi Toohey & DJ Earl Grey to keep the energy burning into the early hours. While Naarm/Melbourne promises a deep listening experience, with selections from local favourites Pjenne & Millu and a dubbed-out live trio set from Other Joe, lay the foundation for an unforgettable immersive experience.

Skeleten’s second album exploded onto the scene earning widespread global recognition, with stellar write-ups from Stereogum, NPR, Pitchfork, FADER, and Pigeons & Planes, remixes from Spray and Axel Boman, capped off by a standout set at Golden Plains alongside PJ Harvey, Fontaines DC, Kneecap, and more. That’s alongside spins on radio stations across Australia, Europe, the UK, and US turning heads both at home and abroad – even catching the attention of The Gorillaz.

 ‘Mentalized’ comes off the back of Skeleten’s 2023 debut album, ‘Under Utopia’, which was praised by NME and hailed as “thoughtful and immaculately layered dance music”.

A year and a half later, ‘Mentalized’ marks a distinct evolution in Skeleten’s sound, attitude, and style – a rich sonic universe shaped by hypnotic yet deeply emotive songwriting and production, and the sound of genuine love and reverence for his craft      

The record is relaxed, chorused by a jostling electronic melody dispersed with synthy riffs, and beams of sound that feel like sonic stretches over your ears. It’s a delight. -GQ

When the sun sets, AFTER DARK at Liberty Hall kicks off, and we’re turning the energy all the way up. This is where things get deeper, darker, and louder—an all-night affair with some of the most forward-thinking selectors in the game.

Leading the charge is Saliah. The British-Lebanese DJ is a master of fusion, blending bass-heavy SWANA electronica with remixes and cross-genre magic that take dancefloors by storm. With heavyweight co-signs from Sherelle and BBC Radio 1’s Jaguar, Saliah’s sets are high-energy, high-impact, and impossible to forget.

A force in Australian club culture for over a decade, Nina Las Vegas needs no introduction. A tastemaker, label boss, and boundary-pushing DJ, she’s been at the forefront of electronic music with NVL Records, championing new sounds from artists like Kota Banks, Swick, and Ninajirachi. Expect a set packed with bass, house, and club anthems—high-energy and relentless from start to finish.

Joining her is Nash—a DJ who thrives in the depths of the night. Hypnotic, punchy, and raw, his sound keeps the energy locked at peak intensity. A selector who knows exactly when to push the tempo and when to let the groove ride, Nash ensures the dancefloor never stops moving.

And kicking off the evening, Brown Suga Princess—a Naarm-based DJ and community organiser who brings bass, footwork, and jungle with pure style and soul. Their sets are a reflection of their South Asian heritage, creating space for movement, expression, and collective euphoria.

This is it—the final Summer Dance of the season, and we’re going out with a bang. Get ready for a night of unrelenting energy, unforgettable music, and a dancefloor that won’t let up until the very last beat. We’ll see you there.

No one likes to say goodbye, but at Summer Dance, it’s one of the things we do best. After an unforgettable season, the Summer Dance 2025 series is coming to a close with our biggest lineup yet.

Taking charge of closing duties, the dancefloor alchemist himself, Yung Singh, will be holding it down as he fuses together a rich tapestry of hip-hop, jungle, and club anthems—all while nodding to his Punjabi heritage. A student of the music that raised him, Singh is known for his boundary-pushing selections and high-energy performances. From his BBC Radio 1 residency to that now-iconic Vampire Weekend drop at Boiler Room Melbourne, he continues to rewrite the rulebook of club culture. Now, for the first time, he steps onto the Summer Dance stage, inviting us into his inner circle for one night only.

Next on our Summer Dance journey: MESSIE B2B C.FRIM—a collision of underground powerhouses. MESSIE has been going from strength to strength, remixing Fred again..’s Places to Be ft. Anderson .Paak and CHIKA, commanding international stages supporting the likes of Sammy Virji at London’s legendary Fabric, and tearing up festivals like Beyond The Valley and Wildlands. At her side, C.FRIM, a force to be reckoned with. A curator of controlled chaos, she moves seamlessly through rap, afrobeat, dancehall, and techno, shaking dancefloors across Australia. Together, they’ll be setting the heart of the dancefloor alight with a B2B set sure to get bodies moving on the asphalt.

Stepping onto the lineup, Kayan—the multi-hyphenate artist, singer, and DJ pushing the boundaries of Indian club culture. A Spotify Radar artist and Forbes 30 Under 30 talent, Kayan has carved out a space uniquely her own. Her 2023 Mumbai Boiler Room set was a masterclass in sound—hip-hop, rap, and pop reimagined for the dancefloor. Now, she makes her highly anticipated Australian debut at Summer Dance 2025.

Rounding out this red-hot lineup is Kafi. A key player in Eora’s ever-evolving club scene, Kafi has been shaping the sound of the underground through his work with the South Asian collective Kerfew. Expect an unpredictable, high-energy set that blends his bold, eclectic style with the infectious energy of an open-air dancefloor.

From start to finish, this season finale is set to be a high-voltage celebration of music, movement, and community—one last dance under the open sky before we bid Summer Dance farewell. Don’t miss it.

Viral sensation The Kiffness will soon make the leap from the internet to Australian stages for the first time. A summery solo project of South African musician and producer David Scott since 2013, The Kiffness initially gained notoriety in his country through satirical songs about politics, but did not rise to global internet fame until 2020 with his Coronavirus parody song and fun “collaborations” with various animals and people from all over the world wide web. It seems he had struck internet gold, with his marriage of cute critters, existing viral sensations, memes, and jazzy tunes now garnering him streams and followers in multi-millions across all platforms – his YouTube channel is fast approaching ¾ of a billion plays in itself. Scott however did not leave his politically active roots behind, with many of his releases having raised funds for various animal welfare causes, charities, and even humanitarian aid for Ukraine. It’s time for some silly, self-aware fun on the all ages ‘The Outbark’ tour as when it hits Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this September! Assets attached.

Secret Sounds is excited to announce that British singer-songwriter Tom Grennan is returning to Australia in October this year in celebration of his forthcoming album Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be, which is set for release Friday 15 August.

Don’t miss Australia’s favourite Brit when he hits our shores in October. Fans are encouraged to jump on tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Sign up via secretsounds.com to access the presale. Tickets to the general public will go on sale from 12pm local time Tuesday 11 March.

很多人与麻园诗人的初相识，可能是源于21年的那个5月，主唱苦果在乐队官方账号上发布的《泸沽湖》翻唱挑战视频，如同一颗掷入平静湖中的石子，瞬间就在网上激起了千层浪。

其独特的唱腔，宛如一把神奇的钥匙，打开了无数人内心深处的情感之门，引发了一波翻唱的热潮！

《泸沽湖》翻唱话题的播放量很快就超了千万，麻园诗人话题的播放量更是过亿。

而2023年，在《乐队的夏天3》上，《现在现在》、《黑白色》、《晚安》…一首首好听又直击人心的歌曲，更是让麻园诗人彻底的破圈绽放。

2024年，麻园诗人先后开展场馆级演唱会巡演，北京，苏州，广州，所到之处引起了乐迷的广泛关注，门票迅速抢购。

南半球的夜，霓虹与陌生的语言交织成网。

街角的流浪艺人，突然袭来带有几丝凉意的风，与站牌上那些陌生的地名…

异乡的孤独与迷茫，像是一场难醒的梦。

但总有一种声音，能刺破沉默的壳，唤醒沉睡的梦。

这个4月，在墨尔本和悉尼！

麻园诗人将带着粗粝与浪漫，在澳洲点燃一场音乐的狂欢，用独特的唱腔去释放你内心全部的压抑，共同奔向纯粹的爱与自由

ILL NINO ANNOUNCE FIRST AUSTRALIAN TOUR IN 8 YEARS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS ADEMA

After an 8-year hiatus from Australian stages, ILL NINO, the trailblazing Latin-influenced metal band that redefined heavy music, is set to return for a blistering  run of shows across Australia. This long-awaited tour will feature special guests ADEMA.

ILL NINO, known for their explosive live performances and genre-defining fusion of heavy metal and Latin influences, will bring their unique sound to Australian venues in September 2025. The band’s return is highly anticipated, as they prepare to deliver a high-octane setlist filled with fan-favourite hits and new tracks.

ILL NINO released their ground-breaking debut album Revolution Revolución in 2001. Whilst their  sophomore album Confession boasting the U.S. smash hit single ‘How Can I Live’, hit the Billboard Top 40 and has gone on to sell over 600,000 copies.

Joining ILL NINO on their Australian journey,  for the first time ever are U.S. Post-Grunge, Alternate Metal band Adema, who will bring their signature sound of hard-hitting electronic rock and nu-metal to the stage.

The two bands are set to deliver an evening of hyped-up intensity, bringing a mix of heavy riffs, Latin infused percussion, emotionally engaging lyrics, and powerful performances that will make this an unmissable experience.
