SIR: Slap It Ruff

💦 Last but not least, our final Gooey DJ - .nz

Late To The Party is a Naarm/Melbourne-based DJ crafting genre-fluid sets that traverse techno, house, italo and beyond, always shaped by the architecture of the night and the energy of the floor. Whether opening, riding peak-time tension, or closing with intent, his sets unfold with layered blends, unexpected turns, and multi-deck mashups that blur the familiar and the obscure.

He’s performed for the ravers across Aotearoa and Australia, including headline sets at the legendary EXTRA DIRTY (Sydney), packed rooms at Inflation (Melbourne), and staple venues like Whammy Bar, Il Brutto, and Neck of the Woods in Auckland since 2022.

As co-founder of SIR (Slap It Ruff), an unapologetically inclusive techno event series that’s sold out nearly every edition, Late To The Party is an active ally in the q***r music scene. He regularly collaborates with other LGBTQIA+ focused collectives and events, supporting safer, more expressive dancefloors for all.
