If you’ve been anywhere near an Australian dancefloor in recent years, odds are Dameeeela has already scrambled your sense of time and space. The Yuggera woman, producer, radio host and Meanjin mainstay shapeshifts between house, techno, garage, bass and beyond with ridiculous ease. Every selection lands with intention, but her sets never feel overplanned. More like a shared secret unfolding between Dameeeela and the crowd in real time. As a Queer Blak woman, dameeeela’s selections are shaped by her perspectives, perspectives that illuminate the communities she comes from, propelling their sounds from underground into the spotlight.
Good luck standing still. Better luck remembering what day it is afterwards.
