Their selections provide a relaxed yet energised backdrop to the Great Hall, mirroring the diverse range of voices and creative practices found throughout the program.
Participants
Zalina
Born in Bogotá and based in Naarm, Zalina (Lina Zabaleta) is the founder of the fierce Latinx movement Chuleo Club. Her selections bridge the gap between South American underground and Melbourne’s electronic scenes, blending high-energy reggaeton, dembow, and guaracha with bass-heavy grooves. A dedicated cultural tastemaker, she focuses on building inclusive spaces that celebrate queer culture, migrant voices, and the power of Latin music.
Haus of Ralph
A central figure in Melbourne’s underground and the founder of the community-driven party series CLUBHAUS, Haus of Ralph is known for a fearless, genre-bending approach to music. Their sets move effortlessly through Southeast/East Asian club sounds, global bass, and diasporic rhythms, creating a sophisticated yet unashamedly fun sonic journey.
Baschoe
Fronting the experimental punk-rap collective 'Xiao Xiao' from Western Sydney and Dharug Nation, Baschoe (Kitiibwa Mutebi) brings a multidisciplinary and atmospheric edge to any space. Drawing from the influences of post-punk, noise, and trip-hop, their selections offer an unpredictable, sharp soundtrack that reflects a commitment to cutting-edge creative practices. They are also the recipient of the 2026 Generations Western Sydney Music Fellowship.
