What a ride these past eight months have been 🙏🏽

We came back strong this year with two releases we’re incredibly proud of — 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝑷 by .palazzo and our debut album 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒅𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚 — each marking a new chapter in the LDG story.

We also had the chance to share our music across clubs, parties, and radio, always feeling the love and energy from this community.

Right now, 𝑳𝑫𝑮 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒔: one of us holding it down in 𝑵𝒂𝒂𝒓𝒎/𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆 🇦🇺, the other back home in 𝑩𝒐𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒂 🇨🇴.

Two continents, two dancefloors, one vision — pushing the Lay Down The Groove sound wherever we are 🌍

But the work doesn’t stop — 𝒘𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆, shaping something that takes everything we’ve learned so far and pushes it forward. We can’t wait to let you in on it soon 👀

And of course, we’ll be back together by the end of the year to close things out with a 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑵𝒀𝑬 𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 by 🎉

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of this journey — from dancing with us to picking up records or simply tuning in. Your support makes it all possible ❤️ The best is yet to come.

Last month we hosted a one-off show on for a special 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒅𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒕 🚀

Hour one is all about our own music — snippets from 15 tracks produced over the past 9 years, with stories and notes along the way. From our first releases in 2016 to new cuts from the album, it’s a proper journey through the LDG sound.

Hour two features a guest mix from the incredible , diving into electro, Detroit and Chicago grooves.

The full show is now online — tune in and take the ride 🎧

Next up on the lineup — Proto Exotica ( ) 💫

A DJ duo and party collective with a deep love for balearic textures, proto-house rhythms, cosmic disco and everything in between. Their mix series on has become a trusted portal for those seeking lush, left-of-centre sounds — and they’re soon to launch their own label with a debut compilation in the works 👀

Catch them next Friday at our 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒅𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 — spinning the kind of playful, genre-blurring grooves that’ll light up the dancefloor.

Introducing: 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝑩 🌶️

Next up on the lineup is Vanessa ( ), better known behind the decks as Cardamon B.

A low-key gem of Naarm’s DJ circuit, Vanessa has been steadily shaping her sound over the past few years — with sets that weave together deep grooves, playful rhythms, and an undeniable sense of flow.

Whether at local parties or cozy late-night bar slots, she brings a warmth and intention that’s hard to miss.

We’re stoked to have her join us for the 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒅𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉 — catch her in the mix upstairs at on Friday August 1st.
