This set was recorded live from my Main Stage set at Orin Aya Festival in FNQ earlier this year. This was the first time I’ve played an entire festival set full of Bush Prog. This past year I’ve become far more experimental within my sets so it was awesome to be given the opportunity to not only showcase a set with my usual melodic/progressive techno vibe but also a set with this fresh psychedelic steeze ✨ If you’re interested in booking Ebony.

I almost had too much fun recording this mix, as it had been so long since breaking out the recorder, and I had heaps of recent tracks to include. The plan was to move from the funk that Boogs lays down earlier into the morning to some more tech and bass-heavy stuff. Sundays at Revolver have never been more sick and I hope this mix captures some of that vibe. Enjoy!

Recorded on a Monday morning at the end of June, this set was particularly fun, so I’m glad I had the recorder running to capture it. One of those sets where everything seems to flow naturally with little to no effort. I didn’t realise until I listened back that I’d played a lot of older tracks, some of which I hadn’t revisited for many years. A nice snapshot of a solid Revolver winter weekend closing set.

What a mad time to be on the same line-up as fellow Brit and madman Mele! It’s always such a buzz to play for TAT @ Revs, you can really test the waters and push the boundaries a bit more - the punters are always really open to it. The line-up talent this day was so diversely eclectic I wasn’t sure what was gonna be waiting for me on the other side. So I rolled into the cage with mi usb’s and this mix is what came out. I always like to play from feeling - from that buzz in the club & the vibe from the crowd, then from there I’ll usually curate the set track by track on the fly. I’m way too ADHD to be too regimented when playing sets - it’s all part of the fun when it’s left open-ended and I loves me a challenge! My personal taste in music is really diverse, but I’m an absolute sucker for pounding kick drums, sexy grooves & rolling basslines. House, tech & garage are predominantly at the core of my sets, it’s what feels the most organic. I’m British so I think it’s just in my blood haha. This mix covers a variety flavours that I must of been feeling at the time. Being in the cage is somewhat hypnotising, I always mentally ‘blackout’ and don’t remember most of what I’ve played - it’s pure presence in flow state and we loooove it. Thanks for having me TAT, ya legends xx Follow Kelly Tee Soundcloud: @kellyteeworld Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kellyteeworld Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellehtee/

How do you describe an artist like Austin Ato? A DJ’s DJ, his productions are frequently supported by the world's best. Austin knows how to deliver behind the decks and carries that charm into the studio with his own music. With consistent outings on reputable house labels like Classic Music Company, Austin’s output of music is consistent and most definitely for the dancefloor. Ahead of visiting Australian shores in June, Austin has given Thick As Thieves a taster of what to expect. “Can U Jack?” is a raw house weapon that can be played from the sweatiest of basements to the biggest of festivals. Tried and tested, “Can U Jack?” is a must have on the stick if you want to take the party to another level.

Hello rev-lovers & Thick As Thieves party legends. For those of you who don’t know me, my names Rory Marshall and I’m fluent in Agwa, the Melbourne Shuffle (eyes on the hips or shoulders it’s up to you) & of course top tier tunes. I’ve put together this mix in preparation for Sunday the 21st of May when we raise hell (or the vibration) w/ Irish stallion Mark Blair.
