An alchemist of deep, rolling basslines, euphoric sweetness, and bone-rattling jungle beats. Hailing from Australia, Dread Maiden’s aural journeys draw inspiration from the ebb and flow of progressive metal, psychedelic rock, dub, and drum and bass, with a goal to manifest eclectic mixes of light and dark, high and low, she takes listeners on captivating voyages.
Dread Maiden is a resident DJ for Sydney’s Cabin Fever Crew and is the driving force behind Newcastle’s Newy Bass Crew. She has performed at renowned parties all over Australia and shared the stage with artists like OK EG, Jam Thieves, Serial Killaz, Dillinja, and Paige Julia. She recently featured at Australia’s Zenith Gathering Festival, Dragon Dreaming Festival, Basscamp, Rain Dance Festival and Subsonic Festival.
“For this mix I wanted to unleash some end-of-year rave vibes. Lots of movement and energy. It’s been quite the year and it’s nice to flex out on some pots and pans and big basslines as a kind of crescendo to 2023.
Jungle and drum and bass, like intertwined flames, possess my soul, and this mix embodies the chaotic passion these genres evoke in me. Play it loud and dance your heart out.”
