There are a lot of very nice people making equally nice club music in Australia at the moment. In Adelaide, there’s a little crew called Club Sync; in Sydney, EVE and Low Ton stay busy throwing super fun nights; and down in Melbourne, Air Max ’97’s label DECISIONS has been drip-feeding us bizarre and beautiful electronic releases all year long.
Turns out all of those crews turned their mutual love of a good metal clang into a series of extremely cute interstate friendships, maintained over countless group chats and semi-frequent trips to each-other’s cities.
The idea for Care Package probably came out of one of those all-in Facebook group chats — it’s a mixtape of edits, blends and remixes from the whole gang. There’s cuts from Melbourne’s Waterhouse, Sydney’s Cache One, Adelaide team Bby Angel and Passion Boy, plus a tonne of other DJs and producers we really enjoy.
The 13 producers and DJs are calling Care Package “a document of the fertile club scene” here in Australia; and a kind of tribute to “the pure joy and inspiration that comes from friends and family working together to create a space for new music.” Heartwarming.
