Top Aussie DJs
Descending on the beach from all corners are some of the hottest names in Australian dance music, including Stace Cadet, Mell Hall, Jolyon Petch, Sgt Slick, Pacey, Clovr and Caleb Pace.
|
|
Australian producer, DJ, and vocalist Stace Cadet has made a name for himself creating joyous, euphoric sounds and will headline the event, following on from the success of his massive hit single ‘Energy’, which blew audiences away and charted 21 in triple j’s Hottest 100.
|
|
|
Whether at festivals like Beyond The Valley, sidebyside, or in some of the most infamous disco dens around Australia, Mell Hall has got your dance-floor covered, and this June, she’ll be taking control of the beachside city, too.
|
|
|
Mackay also welcomes Kiwi born and Melbourne-based producer/DJ royalty Jolyon Petch, who's spent recent years dominating the ARIA club charts and finding support in artists like Don Diablo, Diplo, Afrojack and more. Expect this club mainstay to dominate the party!
|
|
|
Melbourne-based producer and ARIA nominee Sgt Slick will also land in Mackay after spending several years in the US, which included high profile gigs and residencies from Los Angeles to New York City, Las Vegas to San Francisco, Boston to Atlantic City and beyond.
