Playing 11pm-1am - Joined by Donna Kate & Dangerbeard

"Daydreaming is often considered as an array of thoughts that often distract an individual from the present. From the perspective of DJ and music producer, Callum Doig, it is far from a distraction; it's an experience. His method of ascertaining said experiences is brought to life through euphorically charged electronic music coalescing with a torrent of nostalgia. As a result, we are acquainted with the entity, Daydream Deluxe.

A music lover at heart, Daydream Deluxe thinks of himself as versatile; a man of many genres that can appease any audience he’s put in front of. But while he’s in the studio, you can find him channelling the likes of Armand Van Helden, Daft Punk and Louis La Roche into his own sonic fingerprint. No matter the crowd, venue or atmosphere, Daydream Deluxe can assure you that you’re in good hands and promises to envelop his surroundings with effervescent, feel-good vibes."

"Melbourne DJ spinning heavy since 2013 — from BANG, NEXT & PLASTIC to Ragnarök. A deep dive into nu, death, prog, thrash & industrial metal. For fans of Opeth, Meshuggah, Slipknot, Deftones & all things loud and dark."
