If you caught DJ JNETT’s recent marathon session with Marcellus Pittman, you’ll have some idea what to expect when these two old friends get behind the decks together.
Maurice Fulton has been a fixture in the house and disco scene since the early 90s, producing under countless aliases and earning a reputation for unpredictable, genre-hopping sets that pull from everything he’s absorbed over three decades of digging through crates. The Brooklyn-based Fulton has released music under a dizzying array of aliases over the years, including Syclops, Loose Joints and Mr Burnt, while his production credits span collaborations with everyone from Mu to Teddy Douglas.
DJ JNETT, meanwhile, has become one of the most respected selectors in Melbourne’s dance music community, with a deep knowledge of soul, funk and house that makes her sets feel like guided tours through decades of dancefloor history.
The back-to-back format means neither DJ takes a break, instead trading tracks and building off each other’s selections throughout the night. It’s the kind of setup that rewards stamina and rewards those willing to stick around past midnight even more. The Night Cat’s layout, with its stage in the round, should give plenty of vantage points to watch the action unfold.
Tickets are already on sale and the organisers are warning numbers are limited. Given the calibre of the selectors involved, this one’s likely to move quickly.
