Hailed the Godfather of Australian Techno, DJ HMC’s performances are of course very different now to those heady early days and his music style now reflects his love of not just techno but also house music. Performing with Festival 23 as DJ HMC, the alter-ego of Late Nite Tuff Guy from the 90’s, those who have not experienced him live should be excited.

Infamous for his fear of flying which is in the past now, he has just concluded yet another tour of Europe having made is fourth consecutive appearance at Berlin’s infamous Berghain in as many years, and we can’t wait to experience his sonic magic in January.

Summer is calling. We can’t wait to see you in the ranges! 🏕️

Our friends Arka Kinari are in need of our support. Two weeks ago, on the south coast of Java, they were damaged by a storm and made an unplanned stop in Cilacap, a small city squeezed between an oil refinery and a prison island.

During their farewell performance, they got an emergency call from the crew onboard.

There was a leak in hull, and the engine room was taking on water.

Over the last six years the ship and her international crew have survived cyclones, tornadoes, fires, shredded sails and waterlocked engines, all while navigating through uncharted seas and corrupt ports.

Time and time again they’ve persevered, but this time is proving more of a challenge.

Arka Kinari is perched on a rail above a smoldering heap of plastic trash and rotting fish. This is their home for a few weeks, as they orchestrate this symphony of welding machines, cutting torches, grinders, jackhammers and saws, to rip away all the rotten steel and install new plates.

Please throw Arka Kinari a life ring, so that they can get out of here, and back on mission, as safely and quickly as possible. You will literally float their boat.

Looking back through the 6 years of Festival 23 and we cannot help but be proud of how far we’ve come. It’s our mission to bring the community together through a shared appreciated for music and arts, and we’re so grateful to still be doing this through all the trials our scene has faced in the recent years 💜

Between the Macedon Ranges and urban city gatherings, at the heart of why we do what we do is to ensure you leave better than you came. We create these spaces for those who need a reset or a safe space for expression. Our playground is just as much yours as it is ours.

Based on the response to our recent announcement of Festival 23 returning in January, we know that we’ve made enough impact for the people around us. We can’t wait to be with you all again!
