For Episode 009, we’re excited to welcome @mikekon to the series.

A long-standing fixture of the Australian house scene, @wip_music label head, DJ, producer, and party curator, Mike has spent decades championing the deeper shades of dance music.

Joining us THIS FRIDAY December 5th — Inner West Warehouse | 8PM–LATE

@cinta.tee is one of Eora/Sydney’s most magnetic emerging artists — a singer, songwriter, and producer whose Worth / Control release showcases her ability to pull, poke, pluck, and prod at emotion until it becomes something intimate and hypnotic.

But behind the decks, she shifts form. As Chincy Jones, she moves as a selector with a bottomless record bag and a simple ritual: dig, listen, rinse, repeat. A playa at the party, your pusha man of vibrational echoes — past, present, future folded into perfect tense. On the 1s and 2s, she weaves deep, soulful house, classic dancefloor heat, and unexpected left turns that hit with clarity and feeling.

Her sets are grounded yet expressive, balancing groove and uplift while giving dancers the space to sink into something real. Chincy Jones — don’t it make you feel good.

Catch Cinta alongside Close Counters (LIVE), Kosher Groove (LIVE), Slumba Party (LIVE), and LEVOS.
Tickets are limited — link in bio.

📡 Strange Cadence Radio — Episode 006
Now live via @blooplondon

This month we welcome @mimi.j___ one of Eora/Sydney’s most trusted selectors, for an all-vinyl session pulled straight from the depths of her crates.

Known for her high-impact late-night energy and a keen ear for classic house, obscure disco edits, and those familiar-but-new moments only vinyl can deliver, Mimi J offers a mix that’s raw, refined, and deeply dance-focused. Wax only — no shortcuts, just groove after groove.

Expect dusty house, rolling rhythms, classic swing, and the kind of cuts you only hear when a DJ truly knows their records. Find the episode now on Soundcloud 🔗

Spotlight on: Slumba Party — made up of multi-instrumentalist Lux Trevis and drummer Abby Constable (aka Cracked Suzies) — bring a live energy that hits somewhere dubby rhythm, percussive hypnosis, and improvised jungle-leaning chaos.

Inspired by ’90s rave culture and Afro-Latino percussion, their sets blend live instrumentation with dark, minimal electronic landscapes. Drawing from jazz, samba, reggae, and jungle, they create richly textured beats built for dancers who like things a little sweatier, a little stranger, and a little more freeform.

A proper journey from two artists pushing the edges of live club music in Eora’s underground.

Catch Slumba Party alongside @closecounters (LIVE), @koshergroove (LIVE), @cinta.tee, and @_levos

Spotlight: Kosher Groove (LIVE)
Part of our December 5th lineup — Inner West Location | 8PM–LATE

A cornerstone of Eora’s growing Jazz Doof movement, Kosher Groove have fast become the act to catch when live improvisation meets the pulse of club culture. Their sound fuses the spirit of ‘90s house, deep house, and Italo groove with rich atmospheric textures and spontaneous, jazz-rooted expression.

Drawing influence from Detroit’s Underground Resistance, London’s Nice ’N’ Ripe, and homegrown pioneers like Close Counters, First Beige, and ZFEX, the group craft deeply layered, rhythm-forward sets built for both the mind and the body.

Focused on the essence of groove and the freedom of movement, Kosher Groove bring a live energy that invites dancers into full catharsis — immersive, euphoric, and unmistakably Eora.
