More than ever before, an event’s curation has become its most significant selling point.
To those reading this, it will likely come as no surprise that the term ‘festival’ is now associated with big productions, big venues, and increasingly, big artists. Dance music is big business, after all.

One event moving comfortably and confidently against that grain is Soma, a NSW-based festival that held its inaugural edition just last year on Wiradjuri Country, Mount Adrah, made up of an organisational who’s who of many of Gadigal Land’s most experienced unsung heroes.

With Soma’s second edition set for this weekend, we’re revisiting some of our favourite recordings from last year, as a means of illustrating what trust can truly sound like.

Hopkins Creek’s most ‘so-called-Aussie’ element is, to those who have been, Barry’s Bait Shop. The Bait Shop, Hopkins’ answer to the ‘bar in an otherwise BYO environment’ puzzle piece, is anything but simply that.

It’s not always easy to lean into the more community-oriented charm Australia is known for while also showing deep care and respect for First Nations people, but that balance is something Hopkins has worked hard to honour.

Barry’s is a hub of gags, characters and activity, and one of the festival’s most happening stages. Whether through raffles, announcements, jokes, happy hours and often comic performances either by well-known DJs or its house band, Hooks, Lines & Sinkers, Barry’s is the epitome of this ‘Australiana’ kind of spirit given a modern festival home.

To explain, Mixmag ANZ has secured an exclusive interview with Barry himself, made up of the funny bones of a variety of Hopkins staff, but most explicitly, Gary Sunrise. Here’s what Barry had to say.

The coordinated effort of figures within each city’s respected local scenes, including , ._.asif, , & , is yet another message to the promoter and its affiliates.

That message is increasingly clear: events like this are “taking back the power from entities supporting genocide. We want a scene backed by moral compass. Music is political and always will be.”

For .queen, a DJ and curator who calls Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland home, the importance of authenticity is crucial to how she works with artists, festivals and brands.

Later this month, that kind of trust sees HalfQueen among a massive lineup set to grace the stage for ’s Cool Room, alongside , , & many more.

To better understand BWS’ Cool Room, and how it fits into the broader involvement of brands in modern electronic music, we spoke with HalfQueen, aka Shaquille, to get her thoughts.
