"A massive, blue-sky set."
Tora, hailing from Byron Bay and armed with catchy, chillwave tunes to boot, ease the crowd into their Wednesday night revelry. Their electronic tunes dappled in sweet vocals and Aussie hip hop create an elite set.
Canadian duo Bob Moses graced the stage to perform a throbbing, electronic set. Admittedly, it had more of an afterparty vibe, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it.
Hot from gallivanting around the globe, RUFUS were determined to give us a hometown show full of sunshine and danceable tunes, getting off to a cracking start with Brighter and following up with Sundream to get us in the groove.
Drinks were flowing, spirits were high and punters were ready to be rid of their mid-week slump, with every track becoming an instant hit full of layered, tropical beats. Their light show was mesmerising, and of course made everyone's dance moves look impeccable, serving to entertain us as we anticipated the drop.

Desert Night and Tonight made an appearance to remind us of the Atlas era, amongst a primarily Bloom-focused set. Unfortunately, some songs suffered from some distorted bass, but this didn't tarnish the solid set. Special guest Dena Kaplan elegantly performed Hypnotised, while hard-hitting Be With You kept energies high and singalongs front and centre.
RUFUS took us on a luxurious nine-minute journey with Innerbloom, allowing us to indulge in its lustrous soundscape, before being rewarded for our perseverance, and for staying out late on a Wednesday, with banger Like An Animal.
Returning to their roots for the encore, an alternative rendition of Take Me was aired, and the trio followed it up with an extended version of You Were Right to round out a massive, blue-sky set.
