In this episode, I sit with Comedian, Quiz Host and Corporate Trainer, Courtney Maldo (she/her), otherwise self-described as Perth's Punk Princess of Comedy.   We recorded this episode during Melbourne International Comedy Festival, IRL, from Naarm, which was a real treat!   We discuss Courtney's next solo show Gender, Drugs and Rock and Roll, Courtney's exploration of herself before coming out, feelings of isolation in growing up in a rural area, how much can change generation to generation, theatre in highschool leading to Courtney's first fan mail, how being alive is just a phase, what “passing” means and how that is different for every trans and gender non-conforming person and that things get better: rocky starts happen but the journey is yours.

Long time friends Big City Bill and Neil E meet for a split EP of groovy driving house dubs on Naarm's Spincycle Records. The BBV is laid out with kicking drums and lightly tapping percussions. A washed out pad drifts in and out sprinkling magic over listeners while an organ like bassline propels. It's a slightly cheeky groove that makes you want to kick off your shoes and watch the sun go down with your friends. The programming is catchy and yet still kind of sneaks up, unfolding as the snappy hats and clap are revealed. Neil E's contribution to Spincycle fits well next to their first release, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was also found in the record bags of discerning tech or progressive selectors. On the flipside is Big City Bill's, ‘Dry Rub' a wiggly fun number that is bound to keep summer dancefloors bounding. ‘Fantastic Thoughts EP' is out on April 28th.

An episode that feels well overdue yet thoroughly worth the wait! A titan of the Naarm underground music scene, Pjenné has been a kindred spirit and longtime pal since the early days of MDC, and it's no surprise that her contribution is packed full of gloriously deep and immersive feels, bassy and driving in parts and light as a feather in others, speaking to a palette that has been meticulously explored and continues to evolve along with her incredible weekly radio show on PBS, Passing Notes. @pjenne Q. What sounds of feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in? A. For this mix, I wanted to channel the energy and sounds that I associate with Melbourne Deepcast rather than drawing on the darker side of my sound palette that has been at the fore of my radio and club sets of late. MDC means so many things to me, but there's definitely an energetic, grooviness that comes to mind and this is what inspired the mix. Although the mix does showcase parts of me (heavily atmospheric, emotive and a few downtempo tracks for good measure), I'd say this is more of a mix for you. :) I imagine this mix being listened to outside, on a sunny day, but when you might also need a little extra pep in your step. Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much? A. The first that came to mind is a track by Sean Cusick and Medway (Jesse Skeens) - It is an incredibly beautiful and emotive breakbeat track from 2002 on Saw recordings, there's just something about how the vocals and the pads wash over you - although its upbeat there's also a sombreness to it and I just think its the whole package. Towards the end of the mix there's also a very very classic ambient trance number, Lazer Worshippers by Damon Wild & Tim Taylor from 1993 - Not the most deeply dug track but it's a classic for a reason. Q. You have been lovingly broadcasting your weekly radio show Passing Notes on PBS for six years running, which is a serious achievement! Tell us what you did for your sixth anniversary on International Women's Day, and what keeps you inspired to broadcast the show week in week out? A. It's been a wild ride that's for sure! I really appreciate that International Women's Day marks each yearly anniversary of Passing Notes - it reminds me to stop and reflect on each year as an achievement that I would probably otherwise forget in the chaos of life. This year I enlisted the help of Syrian DJ and Harmony Rec affiliate Zeynep, who provided an excellent, playful and sassy celebratory guest mix. As for my inspiration to keep going, I'd say that I draw from the collective power of electronic artists locally as well as internationally. There's just so much good music to share, and Passing Notes enables me to provide a crucial connection between ‘underground' electronic music and the wider music community. I'm also inspired by live radio as a format - it provides a sanctuary for me from the highly curated nature of music today and allows me to be more playful in the way that I explore different sounds. To me it is a place free of judgement.

Their genetic diversity makes them more capable of withstanding environmental changes and means they are among the most important remnant koala populations left on the planet. For more information on the event, visit https://koalathon.raiselysite.com/ and to contribute to Lachlan's Legacy fundraiser, visit https://www.melbournefoe.org.au/lachlan_abbott_legacy Songs:Mother Nature - Angie McMahonWe Protect Us - Ash BrickySelamat Hari Raya - Saloma

My Melbourne is a powerful and uplifting new collaborative feature made with an array of established Indian directors and emerging Australian filmmakers, alongside a diverse group of writers behind the scenes, who each bring one of four stories of Naarm-Melbourne to life on screen.My Melbourne opens with the narrative called Nadini, it's directed by Onir with co-direction from William Duan. This story followed Indraneel, played brilliantly by Arka Das, and his partner Chris (Jackson Gallagher), who both prepare for the arrival of Indraneel's father, Mihir (Mouli Ganguly), in Melbourne to perform the Asthi Visarjan (ash-scattering) of Indraneel's mother.This is followed by Jules, directed by Arif Ali, with Imtiaz Ali as the creative director and Tammy Yang as the co-director. Jules tells the story of Sakshi (Arushi Sharma), an Indian woman moving into the world of chef work at a prestigious restaurant. She encounters abuse and resistance from her distanced husband who demands she lives a life in service of him. Sakshi's life is disrupted in interesting ways by the appearance of the homeless woman Jules (Kat Stewart) who sleeps rough outside the restaurant.The third story follows Emma, played by Ryanna Skye Lawson. Emma is directed by Rima Das with Samira Cox working as a co-director. Emma lives with Usher's Syndrome, which impacts her hearing and her ability to dance. We follow Emma's journey as a dancer as she encounters discrimination, all the while finding her path to dancing her way.The final story is Setara's story, following the 15-year-old Afghan refugee Setara (played by Setara Amiri) as she immerses herself in her new school, and finds her way into the schools cricket team. Setara is directed by Kabir Khan, with co-direction by Puneet Gulati.My Melbourne is a narratively rich, powerful and uplifting film about diverse lives in Melbourne. It's an enriching and grounded experience which encourages audiences to see their city differently - namely, through the eyes of diverse folk who we rarely get to see or hear on screen. Much like its northern counterpart, the 2022 film Here Out West, My Melbourne is a collaborative experience that aims to change what stories we hear on screen.In the following interview with producer Mitu Bhowmick Lange, we talk about the journey to the screen for My Melbourne, while also touching on the importance of the collaborative relationship between Indian filmmakers and Australian storytellers. We also talk about the creative journey for the script writing process, and what it means for emerging filmmakers to be able to work alongside directors like Onir, Kamir Khan, Rima Das, and Arif Ali, who have each created rich bodies of work in Indian cinema.My Melbourne is heading out into cinemas today, from 6 March 2025. I strongly encourage you to head out into the cinema to catch this brilliant film and to show filmmakers and funding filmmakers that diverse voices are important and what we need to hear on screen. As I mention at the close of this interview, I would love to see films like My Melbourne and Here Out West inspire filmmakers in other cities to create similar diverse stories of their home on screen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQhQEryxDQg Hosted on Acast.

We were excited to welcome both co-founders of Queer Muslim Naarm, Sasja Sÿdek and Abdulrahman Katamish, known as Boudie. They shared insights about the upcoming Queer Iftars as Ramadan approached. With the holy month just around the corner, they had been actively working to secure funding, venues, and catering for these special queer community Iftar events throughout the month.  This year marked their second time organising these meaningful gatherings. During the episode, listeners learned about the motivations that inspired them to persist in hosting these Iftars, along with some fun and intriguing facts about Queer Muslim Naarm and the significance of this once-a-year event. We also discussed the various organisations that had shown their support and why their backing was so important, as well as how they, in turn, supported other organisations in leading and creating more queer Iftars during the Ramadan period.  It was an engaging conversation that shed light on the vibrant and essential work they they were doing! Please follow Queer Muslim Naarm Facebook and Instagram for updates and all the infos for the upcoming Queer Iftars. Music:Wallah Bi Ouda Ya Ramadan - Mohamed KandilMualianya Ramadhan - REMAir Mata Syawal - Siti NurhalizaEnta Eih - Nancy Ajram Article that Sasja wrote for Trans Creator Zine vol.2 - "Finding Solace in my Queer Melayu Community"

A longtime conductor of contagious positive vibrations, Danny Bodega is a much loved name among balearic dance music enjoyers round the globe! Co-founding Gazebo Records last year, his killer ear for breezy coastal cruisers and deep crossover club jams make Bodega's effervescent energies the perfect tone setter for those long 'n' balmy summer nights. Step back in time for 3 hours of extended hangs and zesty hedonistic pleasures with Danny Bodega as your good time guarantor! @beaton-4 Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what kind of listening environments might you see it being easily enjoyed in? A. Last year I went to my neighbour Lenny's night at a tiny basement club in Hackney with Dan Beaumont and Wes Baggaley playing records together. Had not felt that feeling in the club since the early days going out in Naarm with locals playing records all night at Lounge, Liberty Social and Roxanne Parlour. This mix is a nod to that vibe and best suited to before, or after the club hangs…or triathlon training. Q. Are there any records in the mix that are particularly close to your heart? A. There are quite a few records in here that I've had for more than 10 years and have only ever played to myself at personal kick-ons, so it's a delight to share them more widely. The Usual Suspects remix of Mr. C and Robert Owens' ‘A Thing Called Love' is one. While I've never been a fan of Robert Owens' vocal stylings, this remix is an overlooked $2 Layo & Bushwacka! banger. Will put it up on the Gazebo YouTube channel soon. Q. You and Nick managed to gather a tonne of support for your inaugural Gazebo Records release last year, releasing Fuemana's 1994 cult classic New Urban Polynesian on vinyl for the first time. What was your favourite part about that whole process? A. The response to the Fuemana family's story and musical talents from a whole new generation of fans really blew us away. Having Tony and Mamma Fuemana fly over from Auckland for the launch party was the perfect culmination of family, friends and community spirit around the release that was also the perfect send off for me moving to London the following day. News on Gazebo 002 incoming shortly… Q. Where can people catch you spinning next? A. All night at Frequence in Paris this Friday, Feb 21 at Bodega Nights, April 12 with Daisy Records and Evie at the Jago. Nick and I are putting on a Gazebo party over here on May 3 with some special guests that we are excited about!

Kaleidoscopic psychedelia from one of Australia's finest. While it might feel early to call bets on DJs of the decade, Kia Sydney, best known as Kia, is undoubtedly one of them. The Animalia founder began in Naarm's (Melbourne) underground scene in the mid-2010s, crediting a trip to the influential deep techno Japanese festival, Labyrinth, as the inspiration behind her sound. Deep techno might not cut it as a descriptor for Sydney's sound, though. Hypnotic ribbons of steely techno mix with atmospherics and nimble grooves, drawing from IDM, dub and tech house, sharing as much with DJ Nobu and Donato Dozzy (try to find the track that overlaps with Dozzy's own RA Podcast) as well as modern practitioners like Priori and Beatrice M. This distinctly Australian scuttling psychedelia has made Kia one of the most sought-after underground DJs globally. Her brainchild, Animalia, showcases a plurality of sounds and scenes, serving as living proof of the fruitful shift of the 2020s: less serious, perhaps, but with a sense of open-minded worldliness that offers a far more promising vision of what dance music can be and achieve. Sydney's rare talent lies in forging connections, bringing people, sounds and ideas together with a distinct playfulness. Her RA Podcast showcases this alchemy in abundance, weaving classics like Monolake and Enya with peers such as OK EG, Cousin and Command D. As she told us in her 2023 Breaking Through profile, "people tell me I have quite a distinctive sound but I can't tell so much because I hear so many different versions of it." RA.973 serves as confirmation that Kia's style is, to say the least, the mark of a generational talent. @kia-sydney @animalia-label @cirruslabel Read more at ra.co/podcast/973

Sofii Belling-Harding is a Yorta Yorta, Wiradjuri, South Sea and Meriam woman who has lived in Naarm on Wurundjeri Country all her life. She is a community arts worker and has her own show on 3CR Community Radio called B.I.T.E - Blak is the Essence. In this conversation, Sofii talks about the significance of Fitzroy (Melbourne) and the connections she has to other Aboriginal families in the community; her roots in the arts having grown up around artists, actors, playwrights and writers; and why she loves community radio as a space to express herself, connect with others, and stand up for community.The song at the end is called 'Tongues' by Tanya Tagaq. From Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay, Nunavut), Tanya is an improvisational singer, avant-garde composer and bestselling author.

The supremely talented DJ Plead launches us into a mind warping world of percussive pleasures and dexterous genre bending, with his trademark agile club rhythms and pacy low end palpitations on full display in episode 303! @1djplead Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what type of listening environment could you imagine it being easily enjoyed in? A. I actually looked through my rekordbox history from a recent Animalia night I played in Naarm and drew some inspiration from that. When listening back to the mix I can imagine it being played for a semi-casual game of Futsal or something like that. I feel like there are some light-footed tracks in there that would be useful to some nimble futsal players. Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these cuts that resonate with you so much? A. Mata by Nidia & Valentina It's taken off a truly sublime Album that I draw lots of inspiration from. It's simultaneously organic and loose and club-playable, which is a tough one to get right. It's something I'm constantly trying to achieve but they seem to have done it effortlessly. Dotted by Cliques I actually tried to google to see if I've ever put this tune in another guest mix before. I probably have, so I'll apologise for that now. Cliques has always had a big influence on me since I started producing music. They've since stopped producing themselves which is a shame but I always play their old tunes out if I can. RIP Cliques.. Q. One of the things I've been fascinated with in your DJ sets (the Sustain-Release set for example) is your mixing of polyrhythms to seamlessly bridge tempos throughout a set. How did you first get inspired to experiment with this style and what are some of otherwise conflicting genres/sounds that have blended nicely? A. My DJing style is at times an extension of my music production. I think this might be a good example of that. The sustain release transition from 150 to 100 is using a tune that I produced years ago in a 3/4 time signature. I've produced a few tunes over the past few years that are able to do that. It just allows me at times to bounce around to different worlds and stops me from feeling stuck in a tempo-range. I haven't done it so much recently but I'd like to get back into doing it. It can create a really strange feeling for the audience. At Sustain-Release, a lot of the audience were on hallucinogens so it felt appropriate to get trippy in that way. It's harder to pull off in a nightclub environment. I'm no longer sure what the original inspiration for experimenting with this style was. Playing a lot of tunes that have a polyrhythm in them can often make you feel like you have the option to dance at two different tempos.

We were truly honoured to be joined by Harchana today. Her story was nothing short of extraordinary. Having migrated to Australia as a refugee, she sought not just safety, but also the opportunity to rebuild her life. Her journey was a testament to incredible resilience, as she navigated the complexities of displacement and underwent a profound personal transformation.Harchana's past was filled with immense difficulty and trauma, but it didn't define her. Her path to Naarm (Melbourne) marked the beginning of a new chapter—one focused on healing, empowerment, and renewal. She spoke with deep gratitude for the safe and welcoming environment she found in Australia, which became a nurturing ground for her dreams.Today, Harchana stands as a beacon of strength and perseverance, a living example of what it means to overcome the darkest of circumstances. By sharing her story, she has inspired so many, showing that no matter how challenging the past may be, it's possible to create a future filled with hope and possibility. It was a privilege to hear her speak and witness the light she brings to the world. The show was aired in bilingual Tamil and English. Songs Played: Break my soul by Beyonce & Honey DijonLamis Kan by MeystaraSingapenne by Ar Rahman & Sashaa TripathiGreedy by Tate Mcrae Christmas Events Updates:Organisers have announced tickets are running low.

This week on All The Best, a feature length audio-documentary about Matildas Mania. Please note this story contains some swears!   The Matildas Express The Matildas Express is a journey to the historic semi-final of the Women's World Cup 2023, and how our women's football team inspired the nation.  One year ago, on a cold winter night, Australian sports witnessed a historic moment. The Matildas, playing on home soil, defeated France in a nail-biting penalty shootout, earning their spot in the semi-final of the Women's World Cup. This was not only Australia's best run at any World Cup but also a defining moment for women's football in the country. The nation erupted in joy, and the Matildas became national icons, capturing the hearts of millions and solidifying Australia's passion for football.   It takes a team to play football, and it no doubt takes a team to create an audio documentary… Produced by Kaspar Visser - @kaspar.visser Audio Engineer Roy Hayoon - @iloveroyki Supervising Producer - Shelby Traynor With special thanks to Mel, Eric, David, Drew and Beattie Goad.
