Aston Shuffle to headline The Island LIVE season 4 launch party

The Island LIVE parties have been success stories, with a mixture of exhilarating music, party vibe and the picturesque background of Sydney Harbour. 

All seven events of the last season sold out weeks in advance. 

Season 4’s launch party on Friday September 29 is presented by Tinder, alongside the Tropicool Events and UNDR Ctrl crews. 

House duo Aston Shuffle do a headlining DJ set with additional DJs set from Polographia and Annie Bass.

“We’re celebrating the start of the long weekend in fine style,” say the promoters.

“The Aston Shuffle opened Season 2 at The Island LIVE with a huge performance in 2015 and we’ve been dying to get the back ever since!”

Aside from their years as producers, remixers and radio selectors (as hosts of weekly triple j show The Friday Night Shuffle), the pair also brought their remix expertise to “apartments designed for sound” in their hometown Canberra’s largest mixed-use development Republic.

Polographia of Winston Surfshirt fame first burst onto the scene in 2011 with breakout EP Sunsets, and then had national success when triple j picked up their Friends EP.

Emerging EDM singer songwriter Annie Bass spent a few weeks in New York working on her new live show for BIGSOUND, Listen Out and the Island LIVE launch and was also part of Future Classic’s writing camp at the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid.

New for Season 4 is the VIP Table Package for eight people, complete with reserved banquette, bottle service and personal waitress. Full details at the website. 

General tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday from Eventbrite. 

Past events hosted the likes of Cosmo’s Midnight, Nina Las Vegas, Kilter, Bag Raiders, Cut Snake, Touch Sensitive, Hayden James, Set Mo, Roland Tings, Norman Jay MBE, Yolanda Be Cool, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Boys Noize and Motez.
