    Melbourne-based, worldwide-beloved, genre-fluid Hiatus Kaiyote returns in 2024 with their new album Love Heart Cheat Code. Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keyboards), and Perrin Moss (drums) debuted in 2012 with LP Tawk Tomahawk, making fans of Erykah Badu, Questlove, and Prince, and embraced by tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Their first R&B Grammy nomination, for “Nakamarra,” was followed by another for “Breathing Underwater,” from their second LP, 2015’s Choose Your Weapon and a third for their 2021 album Mood Valiant for Best Progressive R&B Album. They’ve been sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake, with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his Scorpion album. For a band that made a name for itself with its complexity and received critical praise and garnered fans from around the globe for their embrace of maximalism, one of the most striking things about their upcoming album Love Heart Cheat Code is its simplicity. “I complicate fucking everything,” Nai laughs. “But the more you go through things in life, you become more relaxed and uninhibited. Sometimes you can still have depth and reach people and really stop dancing around the fact: What do you want to communicate to people? And I feel like this album is a result of that clarity for us.”

    Jack White

    Born and raised in Detroit as the youngest of 10 siblings, Jack White’s utilitarian approach filters through all his work, from self-producing his own music to the Third Man empire he founded, to his upholstery and various other art and design pursuits. Over a quarter century into his professional musical career, White’s ability to weave relevant, compelling, and poignant artistry to his music leaves him unparalleled. When the White Stripes started in 1997, no one, least of all White, ever expected that a red, white and black two -piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. The release of Elephant in 2003 not only cemented the band’s reputation but also offered the #1 hit single “Seven Nation Army,” which has since been appropriated as arguably the most popular chant in sports stadiums around the world. On November 8, 2025, The White Stripes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    To date, White has won 12 GRAMMYs in eight different categories with 36 career nominations and was honored with the Producers & Engineers Wing “President’s Merit Award” in 2017. White formed a "new band of old friends," The Raconteurs, whose debut album Broken Boy Soldiers featured the #1 hit single "Steady, As She Goes.” In 2009, he started The Dead Weather with members of The Kills, Queens of the Stone Age and The Greenhornes. White’s solo repertoire consists of the pivotal albums Blunderbuss, Lazaretto, Boarding House Reach, Fear of the Dawn, Entering Heaven Alive, and most recently No Name. In April of 2026, White released new singles “G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico” which he celebrated with his sixth musical guest performance on SNL.

    Poolside

    Poolside is an LA based recording project comprised of musicians/DJs Flip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise. The duo’s sound attempts to capture the carefree decadence expressed in disco and is often a blatant throwback to 80s pop. Their music while not necessarily innovative is refreshingly idiosyncratic.

  • Good Neighbours
    Good Neighbours

    A band born out of small towns and spare time. Scott and Oli have neighbouring studios at their building in East London and first began making music for the project together out of the desire to make something positive and unpolished in a scene where most music felt quite mellow and intimate. Throughout 2023, they consistently began making music for the love of making music, and only midway through the year decided to create the band to release under. With an urge to rekindle the early 2000s scene of Passion Pit / MGMT etc, Good Neighbours nod to classic songwriting and raucous production, inspired by A24, friendship, and a cinematic approach to music.

  • DJ Harvey
    DJ Harvey

    Dj Harvey is a DJ from Cambridge, England. His real name is Harvey Bassett. Harvey is today one of the most respected DJs in the world whose appeal across the genres of the music and clubbing community. His DJ talents are in demand throughout England, Europe and the world. He has a solid following in places as far-flung as Singapore and Japan. Harvey is considered influential in bringing over the disco/garage/house sound from America to the UK. His musical career officially began at the age of thirteen when he was enlisted as a drummer for a Cambridge punk band Ersatz, whose other members’ average age was 24.[1] The band formed an indie label, Leisure Sounds, releasing the single Smile in Shadow, which was broadcast on Radio 1’s John Peel Show.

    Harvey’s progression into DJing came after a trip to New York where he was inspired by the emerging hip-hop movement. He felt that “cutting up” breaks was an extension of drumming and so purchased his first pair of Technics, brought them home and practised. A graffiti “bomber” and member of the gang which went on to take the name, TDK (Tone Deaf Crew) Harvey's crew gained notoriety as TONKA Hi Fi. It was as the DJ for the crew that he forged his reputation as an eclectic programmer of music, throwing outlandish, sometimes weekend-long, parties in their native Cambridge as well as Brighton, London and on the festival circuit. The Brighton parties continued for five years, from 1988 to 1993, drawing a large and loyal crowd, to The Zap Club, and, after the club closed at 2am, for hours, or even days more, on the beach, at Black Rock.

    Having already been in love with hip hop, electro and disco the sound he had emulated after his trip to New York he inevitably alighted on house and garage too, and began playing more parties in London; along such US DJ heavyweights as Francois Kevorkian[2] and Kenny Carpenter all of whom were still relatively unknown and unheard of in this country[clarify]. Playing bs such as Solaris and Freedom were all after the Harvey sound.

    In 1991 Harvey further cemented his reputation with his own night “Moist” at the Gardening Club in London.[2] It was here he brought over some of the greatest New York DJs including Larry Levan,[2] locahis fabled six-hour mix of disco, house, garage and dancefloor friendly rock records, a sound he has carried through to his later residencies, notably the celebrated New Hard Left at the Blue Note.

    After Moist ended, Harvey began playing at the Ministry Of Sound,[2] where he later became resident on both Friday[citation needed] and Saturday.[2] This resulted in the 1996 release of his mix album “Late Night Sessions.”[2]

    He has released tracks under various pseudonyms on labels such as Mo’ Wax, Dorado, Ministry Of Sound, Skint and Junior Boys Own. He has produced and remixed tracks for Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies, Ian Brown, Stereo MCs, Electronic, The Police and Cornershop as befits his eclectic style. He is one half of the duo behind the classic and elusive Black Cock record label, on which he has recreated famous and lost edits of disco records by house music pioneers such as Larry Levan and Ron Hardy.

    Harvey's recent move to Los Angeles hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for music. His nine hour sets in Los Angeles warehouses have attracted an asortment of enthusiastic music fans. and he is currently playing DJ gigs around the planet. He has also collaborated with Thomas Bullock (of Rub'N'Tug and A.R.E. Weapons) on the disco rock project Map of Africa, which released an LP in 2007 on Whatever We Want records.[3][4]
