ABOUT US
Founded in January 2023 with the goal of platforming underground and dark drum & bass genres in Naarm, SUB:SOLAR operates with a community focus and desire to support new artists coming through the ranks. With keen eye for detail and unrelenting drive for the music, SUB:SOLAR has quickly developed into a trusted brand in the community.
In under 2 years we've hosted 17 international headliners, 5 local nights and several free parties. In mid-2024 we launched our SUB:SOLAR Guest Mix Series, so far showcasing 16 incredible locals on our SoundCloud in the first year.
We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with incredible partners like Twisted Audio, Nocturne Ravers, Sub Yard Sound, GoldRush, Pulse Audio, Underground Sounds and Subliminal Sounds over the past couple of years.
MEL [MELTA]
MELTA’s bold & gritty selections have quickly earned her a respected place in Naarm’s bass music community. A true bass fiend to her core, when she’s not dishing out girthy rollers you’ll find her front row on the dancefloor.
She’s supported international heavyweights Breakage, Jappa, Napes, T>I, Pola & Bryson, Annix and In:Most, and performed at multiple festivals including Esoteric, Touch Bass & Sub Terra (VIC) and Eden Festival (NT).
Her style flows from minimal & liquid to chunky jump up, rollers and jungle as well as UKG, dubstep and bassline, with a particular fondness for high energy & dark drum & bass. Her selections are guaranteed to keep the floor shaking and your body moving.
A vocal advocate for the broader community, she’s buried in bass both in front and behind the scenes, curating immersive local and international events with her own brand SUB:SOLAR and coordinating events as part of Naarm’s well respected Twisted Audio team.
HARRY [HELIX]
Hailing from the UK and recently returning to his newfound home Melbourne, DJ & Producer Harry (Helix) has recently come on board as a new member of the SUB:SOLAR crew to deliver high quality raves here in Naarm. With an affinity for deep, dark and soulful underground drum and bass, he’s bringing fresh energy to our vision for the brand.
He’s known to bring the vibes to his sets, drawing for deep and soulful tunes to the dark and techy sonics of the underground. Back home Helix has supported the likes of Serum, Particle, Sota and Zoro, as well as 1991 and Napes here in Melbourne.
