A roaring hour from one of the most vital talents in Naarm.⁠ ⁠ Paul Gorrie, AKA @dj_pgz, is a constant in forward-thinking Australian dance music. As well as a youth worker, filmmaker, former drummer for two First Nations groups and Triple R presenter, the Gunai/Kurnai and Yorta Yorta artist is a fixture on the local club and festival circuit—including upcoming spots backing Donato Dozzy and François X.⁠ ⁠ You can also find a number of PGZ productions on the likes of Butter Sessions, Phenomena Records and Pure Space, as well as !K7 and Black Artist Database. An international breakout for the Naarm (Melbourne)-based talent feels inevitable.⁠ ⁠ There’s much to be said about the lack of visibility and support for Indigenous artists within the global electronic ecosystem (more to come from us on this soon), but at the root of all PGZ’s disparate interests are community building and the advancement of marginalised peoples.⁠ ⁠ To that end, DJ PGZ’s RA Podcast is notably laced with multiple cuts from Nene H’s Gaza fundraising compilation. It’s distinctly fresh—the oldest track you’ll find is from 2022—as he gallops through Kalahari-style wigged-out prog and techno, through to harder drum syncopations. Consider this a firm tip from us: PGZ is the truth.⁠ ⁠ Listen to RA.949 via 🔗 in bio.⁠

I am Krauatungalung of the Gunai Kurnai.

I love music. I live for music. I love that it connects me with my closests people here and as well to many deadly people around the world. Funnily enough the last time I recieved an award was back when I was 11 years old and I got the encouragement award for my first season of club rugby league. Go the Springfield Panthers. Anyway, if you want to have a vote I’ll put the link in my bio. 🔐

First time at @chineselaundryclub on Saturday the 21st of September. @rona.ngamperle also playing there that night too. Hope to see some of you there 🌠
