Moodymann + DJ Jnett

Moodymann will bring the spirit and sound of Detroit to the Square, with his unmistakable blend of funk and soul-infused deep house, and raw energy.

Remixed by Dua Lipa, inspiring (and voicing) a character in computer game Grand Theft Auto in 2020, and performing at Coachella in 2018, Moodyman is a legendary Detroit DJ and producer renowned for straddling the commercial and independent scenes. Moodymann emerged as a revolutionary sound in Black-centric house and techno in the 90s, starting his own labels and centring live samples and Black sounds, from hip-hop, jazz, soul and funk.

This is a rare chance to catch a true electronic music pioneer in full flight.

Sharing the stage is Melbourne’s own DJ Jnett, a selector, tastemaker and cultural icon whose sets have defined the sound of the city for more than two decades. Known for her impeccable ear and ability to move seamlessly through genres, Jnett will set the pace with a journey through deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms and pure dancefloor magic.

Bring your buds, share the love, and get ready to experience the sounds of these two legends – one global, one local – for a celebration of the Detroit sound, and the power of the dancefloor.

It’s all-ages, open to everyone and completely free. See you there, Melbourne.
