DJ Optimism

Inspired by a strong appreciation for the '90s to '00s sounds of UKG and Speed Garage, Kyle Donohue reflects on this era in both his productions and his DJ sets. With over four years of experience behind decks and one year spent studying music production, he is beginning to make a name for himself in Naarm’s thriving electronic music scene. As well as being a part of Xe54’s rotating resident roste

r, Kyle has become a regular choice to support world-class artists such as Carl Cox, Rebūke, me, Sally C & more. Since breaking onto the scene in early 2021, he has provided energetic selections at some of Naarm’s most iconic venues including The Third Day, New Guernica, Revolver Upstairs, Glamorama and Electric. Most notably, Kyle has made two strong festival debuts in the past year at both Beyond The Valley (Schmall Klüb) and Sundancer Thailand. Coupled with his love for playing and producing, Kyle further expresses his music-fuelled enthusiasm through running events under his ‘Guerrilla’ & ‘Vibrance’ brands. His dedication to continuously refine the quality of his productions, DJ sets and events makes him an artist to keep an eye on in the coming years.
