SAFE & Kinphonics are back in full force, bringing the finest 140 & deep dubstep music live & direct to Brisbane.

Contemporary dubstep queen “SICARIA” is bringing the chaos and the energy to Meanjin. “SICARIA is like Sicaria Sound but on steroids,”.

Now solo, Lou Nour’s ready to treat crowds to more fiery performances. Carrying on their dubstep legacy by supporting the genre’s most forward-thinking sounds, SICARIA is fuelled by an innate devotion to the scene that made her. But before she became one of its most poignant figures, the London-raised artist was a shy child unexposed to the wonders of electronic music. Wide-eyed with amazement, and a giddy naivety, SICARIA first heard those spatial swings and low-end frequencies at a legal rave played by the likes of Skream, Skepta and Benga. Determined to fly dubstep’s flag, an unrelenting commitment to bass music has entailed since those adolescent ventures. In 2023, as she goes deeper into the freeing but solitary world of a solo music career, the selector of Moroccan descent wants to push the culture in disparate directions, breaking the bones off dubstep’s skeleton and adding to it the otherworldly sounds that influence her today. Inspired by her South West Asian/North African identity, incorporating North African sounds into SICARIA’s productions has become a very natural part of the creative process, while helping to achieve the hybridity contemporary music craves.

To accompany SICARIA, we have ESP, whose 9 year journey has landed him on respected labels such as Foundation Audio, Fat Kid On Fit & Locus Sound

Backing this formidable force is a prime selection of local heavyweights doing what they do best.
