Brad Spolding is a curator, programmer and producer working across art forms. Brad has curated several festivals and events focusing on audiovisual experimental and electronic arts practice.
David Haberfeld, AKA Honeysmack, is a Melbourne-based underground Techno artist and live performer, celebrated as one of Australia’s most innovative electronic dance music artists. With a career spanning three decades, Honeysmack has been at the forefront of Acid and Techno, emerging from the underground rave scene of the 1990s.
Jani has taken in a wide range of experiences and influences to create his sound: machine music with soul. Firmly influenced by Detroit the city as well as the techno, Jani also takes inspiration from jazz and early house music from his time growing up in New York. As a result, Jani’s live sets are built for the dance floor.
Tom Hall is an Australian electronic audio-visual artist who resides in Los Angeles, California. Hall's work is characterised by field recordings, synthesisers, computer software processing and improvisation, which generates various possible sounds, including melodic rhythms, ambient textures and drones.
mo H. zareei, AKA mHz, is a sound artist and researcher whose practice spans electronic compositions, kinetic sound-sculptures and audiovisual installations. Using custom-built software and hardware, his work aims to uncover the beauty in the fundamentals of sound and light production.
Penelope Trappes is a UK-based, Australian-born experimental musician, vocalist and producer creating brooding atmospherics and unsettling poetics underpinned by subterranean drone. On April 4 2025, her fifth full-length album A Requiem was released on One Little Independent Records – a collection of ten haunting, ambient soundscapes, incantations of dreams and nightmares of death, grief, power and autonomy.
Peter Knight and Aviva Endean bring their distinctive approaches to wind instruments – filtered, stretched, morphed, and re-contextualised through an array of electronics – to create a score for filmmaker John Hewison’s evocative portrait of the central Victoria cult town of Mystic Park.
Dogmilk Films is an independent filmmaking collective based between the lands of the Kulin Nation (Melbourne), Mparntwe and Makassar. Since 2017, they have produced and promoted alternative, ambitious cinema, including video art and expanded forms of filmmaking, with a focus on collaborative storytelling across communities and fostering DIY film culture.
