Adi Toohey

Sydney's club scene is thriving right now, and it is in no small part thanks to the likes of Adi Toohey. Her 360 degree approach takes in DJ sets, a long running radio show on FBi Radio, work behind the counter at The Record Store, and her own parties with the Rimbombo crew. All this has set her on an international trajectory that has seen her play as far afield as New York, Berlin and London. Her sound is accessible but high quality, with emotive house at the root of it all. Her mix for us makes no bones about that - it starts with some smooth and warm vocal grooves before a distinctive 90s flavour takes over. The mixing is tight and efficient, and breakbeats, progressive and big rave chords all colour in the bold, hands in the air grooves to make this a perfectly party starting set that wears its heart on its sleeve.

Constantly swimming in aural pleasures, you’ll either find Adi Toohey controlling the dancefloor from a Sydney DJ booth, presenting Saturday Sunset on FBi Radio, working in record stores or hosting parties with her Rimbombo crew. Now a graduate headliner, Toohey carved a name opening for the likes of Hunee, Young Marco, Bicep and The Black Madonna, playing Dark Mofo, Subsonic and Splendour in the Grass festivals and for interstate crews Club Coco, Lucid and A Love Supreme. 
With a musical CV like that Adi seemed a natural choice to warm up the dance floor for our inaugural B3 event with Gerd Janson, Dj Koze and Charlotte de Witte. As expected, she delivered, and played a warm and inviting two hours which set the scene for an amazing night of music. We are very pleased to release Adi’s set from that night, and we are confident that this might just be your new favourite mix.@aditoohey====================================================Upcoming Novel events: Friday, Nov 23rd: Novel x Other People Pres.

A joyous hour of leftfield house with one of Sydney's favourite tastemakers.Interview with @aditoohey:melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/adi-toohey/"Keeping the tracklist hush for this one but I’d love to extend a shout out to one of my regular listeners Stephen Porter who recommended me the Murk production that ended up in this mix, as well as Simon Caldwell who showed me the Howie B track and taught me at least half of what I know about dance music today. Big love to Condesa Electronics for building my lovely Lucia mixer and to you for the invite to contribute to MDC, one of the biggest reasons I packed up my life in Sydney and spent 2012 in Melbourne."

In the past year she’s been called on to play at some of Sydney’s top venues, including Goodgod Small Club, The Spice Cellar, The Imperial Hotel and Freda’s. Armed with a backpack of deep and percussive house music collected from digging expeditions all over the world, she knows how to get feet tapping both on- and off-air.1.
