Studio Party by Mad Racket Feat. Kai Alcé (US), Lovie (US), Simon Caldwell, Jimmi James & Ken Cloud | Vivid LIVE

Beloved Sydney selectors and Vivid LIVE institution Mad Racket are back at the Sydney Opera House with another huge night of deep dancefloor euphoria, featuring Atlanta house king Kai Alcé, New York groove magician Lovie, and their very own local stars Simon Caldwell, Jimmi James and Ken Cloud.

Born in New York, raised in Detroit and based in Atlanta, DJ and producer Kai Alcé is heavily informed by the musical legacies of those cities, releasing house cuts with equal parts, jazz, Latin and industrial Motor City influence. A true underground music hero and champion of Black music’s dance history, whose EP The Kaiser has been an instrumental force in putting the Atlanta house scene on the map.

Brooklyn’s queen of slow-groove disco, dusty '70s funk and sumptuous house music, Lovie possesses that rarest of dancefloor gifts: an emotional wisdom to match her deep-dive, curatorial knowledge. Selected as one of mixmag’s breakthrough DJs in 2024, she’s fast become known for empowering Black and queer voices, bringing together the city’s warmest and most soulful dancefloor communities.
