Tomas Krammer and Eden Burns of Sandboards are the New Zealand duo who sound like the descendants of the artists they admire, such as Chaos In The CBD and Bicep. Having DJed collaboratively for years, it's their original productions that have earned Sandboards international recognition, receiving support from Bradley Zero of Rhythm Section INTL record label and in 2016 releasing an EP under the notorious Feel My Bicep record label titled 'Visa'. Fresh from guest mixing on Rinse FM and releasing an accompanying EP titled 'Nights Over Taieri', Sandboards show no signs of slowing down.

Retiree is the musical project of three Sydney/ Melbourne mammals: Matt Crowley, Tori Holleman & Marco Vella. Over four summers they’ve steadily congealed their broad influences into a unique emulsion of strongly rhythmic and emotional music. Retiree have released two 12′′s both locally & internationally; Retiree EP (2013) on Plastic World followed by This Place EP (2015) on Rhythm Section International/Plastic World. Last year saw the release of the single ‘Jan’, which delved deeper into their tropical-pop production. Their live set throws all their keyboards, guitar pedals and woodblocks on stage, resulting in long-legged convulsing to a drum machine under honest lyrics.



Ahead of their live performance at Pitch Music & Arts the trio crafted a special DJ mix that showcases their diverse musical tastes...

A music aficionado through and through, Merve has spent a fair share of her time within the music industry. Developing skills early in her career as a booker and artist manager, it didn’t take long for Merve to get behind the decks herself, gaining some serious traction with her infectious sets that encompass elements of house, funk, tribal and techno.

This earned her stage time alongside industry icons like The Black Madonna, and Motor City Drum Ensemble. Having played at some of Australia’s most iconic festivals such as Golden Plains, Strawberry Fields, and Let Them Eat Cake, Merve is certainly one of Melbourne’s most exciting rising stars.

Mark Flynn AKA The Drifter hails from the picturesque seaside town of Greystones in County Wicklow, Ireland. An extraordinary number of electronic musicians have come from what is a relatively small geographical area with Mark being one of those shining lights. He arrived onto the scene with the “Lovers EP” in 2012 and although not necessarily as prolific as his peers when it comes to his original output, he makes his mark in many other ways.

Over the last year he started his excellent Cast Adrift Radio show on Dublin Digital Radio which really shows how invested he is in his art. Broadcasting genre-crossing adventures through a myriad of modern music, Cast Adrift is a great insight into how he feels and thinks about music. Production wise, remixes have become something Mark has really grown a talent for. Over the past year alone he has turned in 4 remixes for a variety of imprints, all met with solid and widespread acclaim. Mark also contributed to the Maeve compilation entitled Heavy Rotations Vol 1 – with his track “Three Words Max”, which turned out to be one of the most popular from the collection.

Mark is a founding member of the Maeve label along with close friends Mano Le Tough and Baikal – the imprint, born in Berlin in 2012, has steered a slow and steady course through the years, releasing highly thought out and interesting electronic music. The alchemy of three label heads is in itself what makes the label so special and sees it continue to garner support across the board. So looking to the future, its clear that Mark doesn’t intend on slowing down anytime soon. Original work will see the light of day in 2019 while continuing to tour both solo and with his label mates, bringing Maeve Showcases to all parts of the globe. Marks passion and enthusiasm for what he does is clear, this coupled with his infectious positivity, leaves you wondering what heights the Drifter could reach
