Treats is the go-to guy when unusual parties appear.
Whether dropping glitch bass madness at Heavy Innit, or deep fractal grooves at Rainbow Serpent Festival, this London born selector has built a reputation for opening minds and moving crowds at a huge variety of events.
This unusually diverse music taste and experienced feel for dancefloor dynamics, combined with cutting edge technology, marks Treats out as one of a new breed of djs seamlessly re-editing tracks on the fly, inducing dancers to lose themselves, and find each other.

12 04 13 treats @ cults of the northside by musicfromspeakers
get mashed rises again at pony. if you remember the carnage from last time, you probably weren’t there. this will be a monster. the legendary sideshow is back from his epic tour of the us & canada, leaving a trail of smashed up dance floors, melted faces and ginger pubes whereever he went. kicking off from 3am through til dawn, this is one to get your teeth (knocked) in to.

norman standard kept it high at this cheeky seaside day party. it ended up a gorgeous afternoon, watching lovers dance in the water to some soulful laid-back beats. listen on a hot day and imagine a secluded beach, cool crisp cider and a giant inflatable turtle called franklin…
12 02 25 treats @ sunnyside nudist beach by musicfromspeakers
rippling underwater moods & classic sun soaked grooves, floating lazily around the pool. once a year a select group of elite djs are chosen by a shadowy council cabal to carefully sculpt the vibes on these summer sunday afternoon sessions. this is the first hour of treat’s 2 hour set, lightly edited for your listening pleasure.
looking forward to this weekend! its our third year performing at rainbow, but our first gracing the playground stage with the full band. we’ll be on at 5:15pm saturday. treats will also pop up under the radar, with possible sets at umelicious, cocopocoloco, the sensorium, the dubstep cafe, the crystal mandala & the cyclic sound system!
heres a taste of our sets from the last couple of years
11 01 23 hugo & treats live @ rainbow serpent (inst) by musicfromspeakers
a deep session round the campfire at this natural amphitheatre by the lake on the beautiful french island. fest la tadpole was a small scale ‘proof-of-concept’ party at an abandoned prison that has been converted into a thriving biodynamic eco-farm. great food, powerful cider & good times were had by all.
12 01 14 treats @ fest la tadpole, french island by musicfromspeakers
starting with a cheeky bootleg, this one got deep, dark, dirty & weird. pure fresh electronic bass music for the heads (and butts) at this iconic venue in the heart of fitzroy. spooky themed decor and mad visuals from vj chronic sans notched up the vibes.

an ambient journey beginning inside the pineal gland, at 3am in this multi-projection av space at ega festival (entheogenesis australis)
visuals merge with sonic textures, intermingling with smoke and light, sychronising with visionary artist/vj, aurelien pumanaya floret (luminaya.com)
bit of a fail at strawberry fields festival this year, managed to play the first part of this set, then just as the new objekt joint dropped, the generator went down. first 12 minutes of this one is ‘as was’ on the day, after that is a post-festival mix of what could have happened next…
treats ended up playing for 3 hours at this renegade free bar, tucked between the trees at shine on festival, deep in the australian pyrenees.
this last half hour catches us easing down from a proper chunky rinse up into warm soulfully abstract techiness, as always with a few cheeky classics carefully woven in for good measure (lightly edited for your listening pleasure)
11 19 11 treats @ cocopocoloco, shine on by musicfromspeakers
great performances from an eclectic selection of local acts and artistes at this gorgeous venue, including the inimitable rhythmik swallowing fire during his set! an abundance of circus freaks & crazy cic students made this one a night to remember. good vibes all night. beyond genre once again brought the goods.
11 10 31 treats @ the jack o’lantern ball, red bennies by musicfromspeakers
after a classic sunny street festival on northcote high street, treats played to a packed bar in between local heroes spoonbill & mista savona. showing proper respect to the dearly departed dj mehdi & gil scott heron.
massive local lineup & u.s. dubstep pioneer antiserum in a secret warehouse location. in the messy room, treats played some fresh wonkyness, gearing up to full on quirk-rave. props to motio crew, hallie, rudi, mittons & pat for generally being legends
