The Naarm based producer's 2021 saw her evolve from an avid community member standing front left in a club to demanding attention with her live set on some of Australian dance music’s most prestigious names.

Babirusa have unveiled

Vivid LIVE opened with a huge weekend of amazing shows, which is being backed up by an equally as huge couple of days of live music. With a program that’s overflowing with talent, it can be a bit dizzying task trying to map out the perfect weekend; but we’ve got you covered, with five must-see events happening this weekend.

"Australia’s arts and entertainment sector has a government that cares about it. A government that doesn’t see the arts as an optional extra but as fundamental to our society and national identity."

There's not many band names that beat Nicolas Cage Fighter, frankly. Smash that video and check out their new single and video - oh, and they have an album and tour dates on the horizon too.

"Hannah is a complete delight. Her dedication, hard work and courage blew me away."

"The grand old Duke of York / He said he didn't sweat / So why did he pay 12 million quid / To a girl he'd never met?"

Perth's favourite hardcore bois Ratking have dropped a new ripper tune called Down The Line, it's out tomorrow and their launch show is going on sale tomorrow too! The lads say of the song: "In a day and age where everyone only puts their greatest achievements and their latest holidays online, it’s hard to watch - it is so easy to feel like you’ve fallen behind. Not getting to that social/monetary position you placed on a pedestal is a hard pill to swallow." Hell yeah, that sucks.

"There was one moment where there was an argument backstage and one member, in particular, threw me up a wall."

"When we normalise self-sacrifice we teach people that we don't matter and that can be weaponised against us - but nothing gets done when you have nothing left. It's dedicated to anyone else who feels this in their professional and personal lives, activism or everyday pressures; I won't set myself on fire, just to keep you warm."

It will now tour across the Gold Coast, Canberra, Cairns and Geelong.
