Electric Fields brings together Fielding’s lead vocal that takes soul to the stratosphere and Ross’ true inventiveness as producer. Think Daft Punk meets Deep Forest with the fearlessness of Nina Simone.

Beach Beats is bringing the boogie to Mordi for a late-afternoon session of deep, funky tunes by some of Melbourne’s best local DJs. Get on down and bring your dance to the Jam Café from 3.30pm on Saturday. Featuring performances by Deltoid Curve, JCOS, Timothy Weston and Sundelin.
