Curated with Lia T, AE Club is a late night dance music experience teetering off the edges of the traditional club space into an adventurous, curious and invitational place of connection with our bodies, ourselves and each other. We’re excited to welcome two east-coast legends to the booth for hybrid DJ/live sets, in good company with two Boorloo dance-music icons going b2b. 

Melodramatic DJ retiree Anuraag returns to the stage in a new variant. After a dissatisfaction with the DJ supremacy meta culminated in them writing an essay about giving up DJing and tossing their USB sticks into the inferno, they’ve recently turned to a hybrid practice using CDJs, a computer, and allegedly some hand drums. Feeling excited by DJing again, Audible Edge is the first stop on a slowburn comeback tour, playing improvisational, freeform, hypnotic and sometimes cheeky music. 

Vanessa Worm is an experimental electronic artist and producer from New Zealand, known for her raw, genre-defying sound that blends elements of techno, post-punk, and leftfield dance music. Emerging from the underground scene, she gained recognition with releases on Optimo Music, showcasing a unique approach to rhythm, vocals, and sonic textures. Celebrating her first ever performance in Boorloo, you can expect an unpredictable and visceral live presence that is both hypnotic and cathartic.

Closing out the evening we welcome the much-loved b2b (bestie2bestie) duo Yikes & Nafta, co-hosts of RTRFM’s Friday Full Frequency slot. Nafta's rich musical journey traverses the many wide and winding roads driven by Black contribution to and innovations in music and culture throughout history. Yikes has a finger in all the pies, working as an artist, designer, DJ, promoter, and producer deeply attuned to the Boorloo scene. Their sets take you on a journey forward in time to the outer reaches of the black diaspora, and the inner spheres of your musical mind.
