Moopie

Naarm / Melbourne

Moopie is a storyteller whose sense for rhythm has enchanted a diversity of audiences around the world. His record bag is filled with strange and beautiful oddities that reveal themselves at the most perfect times.

A careful balance of the heavy and light, the fast and slow, and the unashamedly fun and emotional. Mixmag named him as a Breakthrough DJ in 2023, while DJ Mag and BBC Radio 1 Dance named him as One to Watch in 2024. His intuitive nature, sensitivity to context and adaptability to genre boundaries have been lauded by Ben UFO and Helena Hauff, who both regularly invite him to play back-to-back sets.

As the label runner and curator of A Colourful Storm, he shares his warm and emotive innerworld. Acclaimed by publications as varied as The Wire and Resident Advisor for its artistic and sonic diversity, the label has given a platform to local and international acts and maintains a busy release, event and NTS Radio schedule. Its name reflects the colourful sides of Moopie'smusic collection and personality, through lost indie-pop grails, contemplative ambience, four-to-the-floor dancefloor cuts and avant-garde soundsystem music.

Moopie's warmth and affection for his audience, peers and craft shines in his love for sharing and contextualising music to listeners around the world. He stands out as a daring yet refreshingly humble figure, quietly redefining expectations while turning dancefloors inside out. He’ll be joining us at un:send for two sets this year - one showcasing his non-dancefloor realm of collections, and another one for the dancers to eat their heart out to..
