Dea
Aradea Barandana, widely known as Dea, began his DJ career in high school, spinning records as background music for a breakdance crew. What started as a casual exploration of rhythm, however, soon blossomed into a passion for building community through music, launching his own club night in Jakarta. Here, his eclectic taste began to take shape and – while studying in London – he delved deeper into the world of underground and obscure cosmic sounds, honing a style that defies strict categorisation.
In the live setting, his sets are a rich tapestry of exotic psychedelia, infused with electronic grooves that transcend traditional genre boundaries. Having released numerous records under his own name and as part of projects like Precious Bloom and Zatua, Dea’s collaborations span diverse fields, from co-creating a short film soundtrack with DJ Harvey to contributing to albums by A Mountain of One and Ricardo Villalobos. He also made waves with an EP released on Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records.
Looking ahead, Dea is set to release his highly anticipated solo album on Rush Hour Records in summer 2025, a testament to his ever-evolving artistry and deep connection to the global music scene.

Jack Danzey
A Sydney staple before making his name (and home) in Naarm/Melbourne, Jack Danzey is one half of Australian label, Lunatic Music and club night, LUNACY.
An obsessive digger and collector, his infamous collection has soundtracked endless parties and guest mixes. Consistently eclectic and enigmatic, Danzey’s freestyle approach and genre-bending selection are known to confuse and excite in the same step.

Ugomo
Ugomo is the new live electronic project from Jonathan Pardede, founding member of the acclaimed Jakarta-based techno collective Sunmantra. With Sunmantra, Jonathan helped shape the city’s underground electronic scene through immersive, hardware driven performances that merged rhythm, noise, and ritual.
As Ugomo, he transforms that collective energy into a deeply personal form of expression, a live performance built from analog machines, pedals, and spontaneous composition.
Each Ugomo set is a living organism: evolving, instinctive, and emotionally charged.
Ugomo’s debut release will be launched under Lunatic Music Label, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his exploration of sound, movement, and human pulse.
