Last minute & up-late - Amsterdam's legendary DJ Marcelle / Another Fine Mess will be stopping by Pig City to grace us with an evening of dance floor abstraction & obtuse turntable actions.
Listen: https://soundcloud.com/marcelle

"Those who ever planted themselves on the dance floor while DJ Marcelle was in the booth, stacking tracks on top of another on three turntables while throwing in screams and whale sounds, know this for sure: in her DJ sets, the Amsterdam artist can go anywhere, and does not exclude anything.
Although DJ Marcelle has been collecting music longer than most of us have been alive, she still feels like The Netherlands’ sweetheart. She’s an artist with a mischievous, rule-bending and almost ironic approach to her DJing, producing and radio hosting – cut with her trademark wit yet supported by an unquestionable amount of skill." - Dekmantel
"Well known for her three-turntable setup, DJ Marcelle makes compositions out of songs and symphonies out of mixes – colliding disparate genres, appropriated vocal snippets and warped soundscapes into a giant Frankenstein-like melting pot. Her performances are inventive, euphoric and above all powerful." - Resident Advisor

Marcelle is to be joined by local institution Neesha Alexander + a live performance by DJ Set.

NEESHA ALEXANDER is a trailblazer in the Ballroom scene and a key figure in Meanjin’s underground music community. Named ‘DJ of the Year’ at the 2023 Queens Ball, Neesha has shared the stage with international artists like Jyoty and Partiboi69 and performed at both Sydney and Brisbane’s Boiler Room events in 2024. Neesha’s sound is a dynamic celebration of queer club music, effortlessly spanning genres like Afro, groove ballroom and hardstyle. Her sets blend rhythmic intensity with a fierce sense of freedom, creating an electrifying atmosphere that bridges cultural influences and keeps the dancefloor moving.
Boiler Room Brisbane Set:

DJ SET (proper noun) is the latest project of Meanjin DIY mainstay Callum Galletly. Perhaps the truest, purest embodiment of the wonky swamp energy that defined the 2010 Meanjin underground, finding new life in the more recent era of deconstructed electronics. Callum is a prolific local performer & artist who's accolades include over a decade of drumming for beloved local 'rock' groups including Guppy, Black Deity, CLEVER & more - not to mention their mostly undocumented noise works in projects like Baby Angel and White King since the days of Real Bad.
