Natty is a favourite amongst dancers and his fellow artists with his immaculate selections and positive energy behind the decks, creating profound experiences that toy with irresistible tension and unpredictable release. 2024 saw Natty bring a new monthly residency in Victoria, Public Hearing, with a focus on supporting newcomers and veterans alike and presenting extended sets of club curated multi-genre dance music in an intimate setting.
