Byron NYE parties including Billi Pub, Balcony Beats, I Luv House plus Bay FM Fundraisers GI Jode For over two decades, GI Jode has been a powerhouse on the Sydney music scene, bringing her signature house sound that blends blues, gospel, and disco to dance floors across the city. Whether it's the intimate vibe of a small bar or the electrifying energy of a warehouse party, GI Jode's sets have made their mark, having supported a roster of international legends including Carl Cox and Joey Negro (Dave Lee). A beloved fixture at Sydney’s Mardi Gras celebrations, GI Jode’s infectious disco house grooves have been a highlight at events such as Harbour Party, Laneway Recovery, Fair Day, Kaftana, and an impressive ten appearances at the iconic Main Party.

Kate Monroe For more than 30 years, Kate Monroe has been creating dancefloors that bring people together. An accomplished open-format DJ, Kate draws from an expansive musical palette spanning disco, funk, soul, house, Balearic, indie dance, electronica, leftfield pop and timeless club classics. Her sets effortlessly weave together iconic records, forgotten favourites and carefully curated new discoveries—reading the room in real time and building the energy with purpose. Every transition is driven by the people on the dancefloor, never by a predetermined playlist. Kate believes the best dancefloors aren't created by simply playing great music— they're created through connection. Reading the crowd, recognising shared moments and understanding when to surprise, when to indulge nostalgia and when to introduce the perfect unexpected record are what transform a gathering into a celebration. Whether performing for 50 guests or 5,000, her approach remains the same: creating an atmosphere where strangers become friends, generations dance together and every guest feels part of something bigger than themselves. Her career spans some of Australia's most iconic dance events and venues, including Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, Harbour Party, Sleaze Ball, Field Day, Ministry of Sound events and a 12-year residency at Sydney's legendary Home Nightclub. Alongside these headline performances, Kate has become a sought after DJ for milestone celebrations, boutique corporate events and private parties where music is expected to do more than fill a room—it creates lasting memories. Professional, intuitive and vastly experienced, Kate creates musical journeys that evolve naturally throughout each event, building anticipation, lifting the energy and keeping dancefloors full long into the night & morning. Because the most memorable celebrations aren't built around playlists. They're built around connection. Lainie Godiva Lainie has a natural intuition for the dance floor and a style that refuses to be confined. Her sets are a carefully curated journey through house, playful disco, funk, Afro beats and tech house, often infused with European-inspired indie dance and the occasional kick-ass breakbeat. Constantly evolving as an artist, she's also embracing deeper, more downtempo grooves that create beautiful soundscapes for bars, sunset sessions and soulful morning sets that recharge both body and mind. From BayFM Radio to Burning Seed, Kohlective to Kohinur Magic, The Nudge to Sunhouse Sessions, and a host of wild and wonderful events—including All Abilities Disco Balls—Lainie leaves a luminous trail of unforgettable moments, infectious energy and expertly crafted musical journeys. With an instinctive ability to read the room and build an atmosphere that brings people together, Lainie's eclectic sound is uplifting, groove-filled and impossible to resist. Whether she's warming up a crowd or driving a peak-time dance floor, she creates a space where strangers become friends, smiles are contagious, and before long, everyone is dancing like nobody's watching. Nu - shed debut Nu is a multi-passionate artist, free spirit and lover of life, rooted in love, guided by gratitude, and moved by music and movement as medicine. Her journey began in Persia, an ancient cradle of music, art and culture. Born into a family where creativity flourished, Nu studied music theory and learned several instruments from the age of seven through to university. There was just one challenge. She grew up in a time and place where women were forbidden to dance, sing or perform publicly. While her gifts remained hidden, her curiosity never did. Drawn to the limitless world of music and the magnetic pulse of electronic sound, she found freedom where words could not exist. Music became her sanctuary. Her healer. Her transformation. That journey carried her across oceans to the Northern Rivers—a place of magic, community and belonging. Here she found her chosen family, whose love and support inspired one of the greatest chapters of her life. Surrounded by talented DJs, immersed in rich soundscapes and powerful frequencies, Nu was gifted the opportunity to step behind the decks for the very first time. Becoming a DJ has been one of the bravest and most rewarding adventures she's ever embraced. Since then, she's shared her sound at private gatherings and beloved local events including Lab Leak Beats, Maaikal NY at Kohinur, Mystic Valley's Temple of Boom, Sacred Heart Festival, the Wonky Creatures Stage, and Kohlective. Her sets are an invitation to connect—to yourself, to each other and to the present moment. Blending organic rhythms, uplifting grooves and soulful frequencies, Nu creates dance floors that celebrate joy, freedom and community. She's honored to be bringing her energy to the dance floor in support of Lotus Palliative Care, sharing music with purpose and helping raise funds for an organisation that brings compassion, dignity and care to people when they need it most.
