Foura

Steezy and sweet in style, sound and demeanor, Australian-based FOURA is a unique selector and producer renowned for writing and sharing a diverse range of energetic, yet emotional, UKG-inspired Electronic, Break Beat, Speed Garage, House and Techno. Her selector journey started when she was in her early teens, curating mixtapes on burnt CDs with little journeys tailored for each of her friends. Now, her sound can be heard on rotation across both local and international airwaves, TV stations and platforms, including Rage, MTV, Triple J, FBi Radio, Foundation FM, Rinse FM, Spotify and Apple Music. She’s also a Resident at Naarm & Melbourne’s favourite electronic institutions, from Revolver Upstairs to Glamorama and Section 8. Across the festival circuit, FOURA has been found shaking up the dancefloors at the historical Werribee Mansion’s Let Them Eat Cake, the lush surfcoast forest of Lorne’s Falls Festival and Gippsland’s Beyond the Valley. Next on the list for FOURA is to take the festival circuit international. She’s a famed member of The Operatives, as well as an ambassador for renowned audio brands AIAIAI and Arturia. Her recent releases on clipp.art and Nina Las Vegas' NLV Records have garnered her top spots on playlists and radio rotations across the world. Soon, FOURA will be releasing an exciting new EP on NLV Records inspired by more moody UKG, break beat and dark, faster electronic showcasing her wide-range expertise in dance music production.

COMMUNITY

Do you make music and wish you could hear it on a big sound system?

Playback creates a space for music makers to hear their works on an amplified sound system in a supportive and educational setting.

Many music makers don't get the opportunity to hear how their sounds will translate in final environments such as clubs, cinemas, or under heavy amplification. This is because access to larger systems, such as those found in clubs, are hard to come by. Playback aims to bring this opportunity to the Melbourne music community whilst facilitating the opportunity to share with, learn from, and connect with peers.

Anyone is welcome to submit a track to Playback. We welcome music makers of all abilities, genres, and backgrounds to the program. Even if you are not submitting music we welcome you to join a session to see what it's all about or support a friend.

Our aim is to lift the community and allow music makers to improve their practice by listening in a new environment.

Stay in touch?

Playback takes place on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Woi Wurrung people. We recognise that music has been created and shared on this country for thousands of generations. We would like to pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging, and welcome any First Nations people to our events.
