DJ Relaxative is back on the tools for a heart warming, body moving interstitial set at White Night in his home town of Ballarat on 1 June. What an amazing line up of talent and projected art, be sure to head up the Western Highway and get amongst the action

~ Exciting gig news ~

I can finally announce how chuffed I am to be doing a hometown interstitial set on the main (Evening Star) stage at White Night Ballarat on Saturday 1 June. I'll be warming up and setting the vibe for such amazing artists as The ReChords, Parvyn, James Ellis and the Jealous Guys, TEK TEK Ensemble, Jazzparty, The Counterfeit + two-step dance lessons with Emma B from H***y Tonk HQ.

Some real killer locals on the Last Chance stage too - be sure to check out and boogie to Yacht Club DJs, LASHES, Reef Rats, GBOMM DJ, Sami, Confetti Western, and Troy Firebrace.

Aaaand of course those incred projections across the city.

Music from 5.30pm, full program at https://whitenight.com.au/ballarat/program/

Friends! I'm looking for record and other music owners/sellers with quality collections to sell (for FREE) at a fun, new event in Ballarat on Sat 2 March.

Records/media will need to be relevant and sellable (not looking for musicals, classical or children's music) and in good condition for potential buyers. No fee to sell, but will need to be 100% self sufficient (bring table(s), marquee, etc.).

You could have a larger individual collection, or be a group of friends 😎

DM ne or contact [email protected] if interested.

Thanks!
