KAYA is bringing her driving, high-octane sound to Nerve on 24 July, taking over Brown Alley for a night that promises to get properly loud.
Sydney-based DJ and producer, KAYA, has spent the past few years building a reputation as one of the country’s most reliable forces on the techno circuit, and this Nerve stop is shaping up to be one of her biggest yet.
KAYA’s resume reads like a highlight reel of Australian dance music’s biggest stages. She’s played Teletech and HIVE Festival, held down a residency with Lucky Presents, and become a regular fixture on the decks with Dangerous Goods; the kind of run that doesn’t happen by accident.

Her sets lean into the harder, faster end of techno, built around driving rhythms and relentless grooves that have won over crowds up and down the east coast.
The momentum isn’t slowing down either. KAYA was announced on the lineup for New York’s Agape Festival, sharing billing with Bad Boombox and Adrian Mills — an international nod that says plenty about where her career is heading next. For the Nerve show, she’s joined by a stacked local lineup: RØSAH, Korey Dobson b2b CHARBINKS, GUHRL and JediJim rounding out the night.
Brown Alley is going all in for the occasion, with the venue spread across two rooms plus an outdoor rooftop area to give punters somewhere to catch their breath between sets. It’s an all night long affair, with drinks kept accessible too ;Carlton pots for $6, Alizé and Agwa for $10, vodkas for $11, basics for $11 and South Ave’s for $12.
For a genre that can sometimes feel like it takes itself too seriously, KAYA’s approach is refreshingly straightforward; fast, driving and built for the dancefloor.
Melbourne’s techno heads won’t want to miss this one.
