DAWS

Biography

A staple of Naarm/Melbourne’s electronic music scene, DAWS is a favourite for bringing local and international sounds together as a DJ, and emerging as a salient producer of refreshing and intoxicating dance music.

DAWS is well regarded as a go-to for outstanding sets that highlight her finest talents and traits, signalling an intimacy with the dancefloor along with a rich knowledge for dance music. Her adaptive mixture of multi-genre sounds combined with an obsession for classic and modern house music has seen her play a smorgasbord of some of the most prolific queer and underground electronic music parties including Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, Beyond the Valley, Gaytimes, and Pitch Music and Arts. DAWS has some incredible supporting sets including international icons such as Octo Octa, Carista, DJ Boring, and CC Disco.

With the closure of club and event spaces during 2020, DAWS was able to ignite her career as a producer and gained international attention for her original releases on local collectives, with support on NTS, Rinse FM, BBC Radio 1, Dublab, along with clips of her tracks being played across some of the hottest festival sets of the summer. She also solidified her talent as a producer and DJ when she experimented with new sounds to produce her side project ADHD edits; a number of vibrant club ready edits and remixes of her favourite pop songs which all raised money for local charities. Since the release of her originals and edits, DAWS has continued to cultivate her sound and grow as an artist.

Her debut EP is set to release in both physical and digital forms on UK-based house music mainstay Hot Haus Records in May 2023. The four track EP exudes euphoric feeling and energy to weave across dancefloors regardless of night or day, and is a glimpse of her impending impact and influence as a producer.
