ALI (Jakarta)

Ali incorporate Middle Eastern culture with elements of 70s Indonesian rock, cinematic soul, afro beat, funk and disco to create a new groove and sound straight from the contemporary and vibrant Indo music scene.

The group are bringing their self described ‘Middle eastern beats with south east twists’ to Australia for the first time.
It will be an honour to host these legends who are just beginning their world take over with a funky sound that will make them huge soon!  No record is out yet but we are assured of copies that are nearly all sold out on presales! There will be tour T shirts available and a chance to meet them after the show.

Ali have a new single OUT TODAY check it out below!

INSTORE  THIS FRIDAY AT 6PM WITH NO ZU!!!

The iconic HEAT BEAT from No Zu will be launched on its day of release. Out on the iconic Chapter Music!

Melbourne “heat beat” icons NO ZU regroup after the passing of vocalist Daphne Camf, to release their first new original music since 2016.
NO ZU have stormed stages from Barcelona’s Primavera Festival to Meredith’s Golden Plains. Led by the magnetic, tireless Nicolaas Oogjes, NO ZU’s multi-limbed, mutant punk-funk has evolved over the last decade to make them one of Australia’s most distinctive and debauched groups.
Daphne’s passing in 2021 left a huge hole in Melbourne music, and the band fell into a long silence. Now they return with an EP featuring her final recordings with the group.
Heat Beat, named after the band’s own trademarked genre, is classic NO ZU.

Be here THIS FRIDAY at 6pm and b sharp. All instores are FREE & ALL AGES. Prizes for the best dancer!

We will be gathering on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation and pay respects to elders past present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Northside Records and Bedroom Suck Records are proud to welcome into the space a local legend of bass, DON GLORI o launch his debut album WELCOME. The album features eight recordings of revolving jazz, Brazilian, soul and funk-inspired compositions which means the prize for the best dancer will be SUPER FUN!

Elle Shimada launches her debut album at NORTHSIDE RECORDS on FRIDAY FEB 3rd at 6pm.

The first instore of 2023 belongs to a local legend ELLE SHIMADA whose concept of home is a fluid scene. Her home will be Northside on this Friday night (Feb 3rd) and yours too at 6pm so be sharp. Get down to get down

THIS FRIDAY, JULY 15
6pm sharp.

To celebrate the release of her incredible debut album DEITY @emmavolardmusic would like to perform at Northside to launch the record into the world! And we couldn’t be happier! Also stoked to see the first ever physical release on @theoperatives label as well!

“The 12-part body of work is a journey though joy, sorrow and everything in-between. “Deity is a love letter to myself”, Volard explains. “A reminder to break boundaries, express myself without fear, and allow myself to grow and love unconditionally.”

Caught in the push-pull between light and shade, joy and sorrow, chaos and order, Deity is an album that draws power from the divine messiness of the human experience. Synthesising acid jazz with modern R&B, dub with pop, and future soul with old-fashioned grooves, it’s a statement of profound artistic intent for Emma.

We have followed Emma for a while now and couldn’t be prouder of the incredible record she has made with her great friends.

Come and share the good times this Friday at 6pm sharp! All gigs here at Northside are ALL AGES and at every gig there is a prize for the best dancer.

We will be gathering on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation and pay respects to elders past present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.
