LIPELIS (RUS) AND DITA (IND)

Scuff the floor as we open the Stage Door to a Friday night filled with house, Italo, disco and electro deep cuts courtesy of Lipelis, DiTA, Bayu and Poli-Pearl.

For RISING’s final weekend Night Trade beckons us through the Stage Door and into the underground with a series of club nights presented by Crown Ruler.

For the Friday night feels, they’re inviting producer/DJ Leonid Lipelis over from Moscow. He’s worked with labels L.I.E.S and Public Possession, played Dekmantel and Lente Kabinet, and co-produced with Hercules and Love Affair. He’s in demand for his ability to work Lipelisian left-field edits and remixes into typically his smooth sets.

DiTA is returning to Australia too. The Klymax Resident at Potato Head in Bali, she’s known for her faultless, versatile selections ranging from proto-house and disco to ‘90s breaks and Balearic. The internationals will be joined by two much-loved party starters, Bayu and Poli-Pearl.
