Event details

Dear Lovers,

After long hours of pillow talk, many secret late night rendevous & many hushed whispers, it is with the utmost excitement that we can finally announce our next soiree. We present a world first, pairing two of Australia's most legendary DJs: DJ Agent 86 & DJ JNETT in a never-seen-before back to back performance on four turntables! This is designed to blow minds!

Agent 86 has been a staple in the Australian underground music scene for the past three decades. A multi-genre mixmaster turntablist that blends everything from disco to hip hop, to techno to krautrock, and then back again. 86 has held down stages at numerous Australian and International festivals, organised multiple club nights, produced many underground hits, and even ran a record label. Agent 86 has shared a stage with the world's most historic underground DJs - A list that needs to be seen to be believed. This is one DJ that has honed his craft in every way imaginable. One of Melbourne's.... or should we say.... Australia's finest.

We pair 86 with everyone's favourite dj, DJ JNETT. A blessing to the Melbourne music scene, having rocked parties & radio shows for decades, this lady needs no introduction. She leaves fellow DJs dumbfounded with her flawless, seamless mixing of house, techno, hip hop and anything else she feels like. Staying busier then ever, starting new weekly party, WILDLIFE at The Toff In Town and taking her record bag around the UK currently, we are sure to see JNETT on her A game for us at the Nightcat on October 4.

We are also thrilled to be joined by the Lush Life House Band! The group sees Horatio Luna, On-Ly and our very own Ryan Berkeley challenge the conventional band set up. With keys, bass and a combination or records, drum machines and loops, the group blurs the line between a live performance, DJ set, and complete improvised madness. Let them mash up house music and jazz and take you on full blown dancing frenzy.

Support from The Love Above residents INGRID and Dawn Again.

This is a never-seen-before performance. 4 turntables, open-format. We don't know what to expect.... but we do know this is gonna be a once in a lifetime kind of love.
