Versatilia

Streaming from the land damned under, Sydney based DJ Dave Fernandes proposes Versatilia, a monthly musical exploration of new and traditional forms of club music.






Show background:
Sydney’s dance music culture–much like the rest of the world–has been crippled by draconian, conservative government policy and pandemic-related closures. Versatilia draws from this context to invigorate the heady memories of the dancefloor and give inspiring energy to the global community in changing times. Through its content, this show will promote active listening to club music and reflect on the ongoing social purpose of club culture.

Show structure:
Running for approximately 90 minutes, each show will incorporate Fernandes’ versatile style of selection throughout back announced segments. Local guests and Australian label showcases will be featured incrementally as the show develops.

Invariably, each show will reflect an inquiry into club music style/s and focused listening.

Show genres:
Versatilia, will illustrate the power of diversity by showcasing an array of electronica, electro, acid, house, and techno music. Leftfield in nature, the genres incorporated into Versatilia will be linked by Fernandes’ unique ability to make sense of the sounds of swampy deep ends, sweaty body work and industrial tipped dark rooms.
