K-WHOLE
K-Whole fell in love with bass music after getting unexpectedly stuck in China a few years ago. Never happier than on a dancefloor, she amps on tracks that make the body move, or the soul transcend.
SEREN
Formerly a harmony queen vocalist and drum & bass ballerina, Seren decided to cut out the middle-man and work to get production, looping and now DJing into her own hands. She enjoys & plays many genres but jungle/dnb will always have her heart. Expect lush velvety vibes & basslines that are food for your soul.
LILY WYLDFLOWER
Hailing from the South Island underground party scene, Lily Wyldflower has a penchant for dark rollers and a splash of liquid. An aspiring producer, she has also recently laid vocals for the UK dnb label Raw DnB and has other new collaborations in the works.
UNSUB
Unsub (Lily), Alexis K (Alice) and n0isemakeR (Ellie). Three artists with one thing in common; they share the same body. Their music has received consistent airplay from radio stations around the world including BBC, Triple J and Ibiza Radio since 2010.
What Unsub has to say about her work: ‘Every song is a moment in my life that I'm trying to share to connect with people who know the feeling. People who've been on that level, good or bad, and have come through it (or still are).’
PAIGE JULIA
Paige Julia is making music for humans who stay up late. She has music out on US imprint Samsara Beats, UK imprint Forest Biz and features on homegrown Nelson label Totally Roasted since 2016. Inspired by the grey areas between techno, UK bass music and experimental sound, her work is the mutation of idea into electricity into sensation, a modern form of magic.
Be entranced, come dance.
Femme n Bass is about showcasing the massive talent amongst the babes of the bass music community. In the rather dude-heavy music industry, we think it’s important to create spaces for femme* DJs and producers to strut their stuff, while still putting on an epic night of heavy tunage.
We want everyone to be able to enjoy this gig! So bring your good vibes, bring your friends, and remember, consent is sexy. If anyone’s behaviour is making you uncomfortable, please bring it to the attention of Moon’s bar staff or to the event organisers and we will be more than happy to help you out.
*femme is the term we have chosen to use for our event as the best counter to the male-dominated music industry. We welcome trans, non-binary and gender-fluid folk (who are generally even more sidelined by the patriarchy) who wish to be part of this space.
