Various Asses

Melbourne’s Various Asses is a master at creating powerful, buildup-driven bass music, electrifying minds and dancefloors since around 2015. Their Filipino heritage and love of ecclectic pop history often informs an alchemical approach to sample work, driven by smouldering energy with a smirk. Their disrupted dancefloor forms are instantly recognisable, each rhythm and break buidling and colliding with the next with unstoppable intent.

In a live setting, word of mouth around VA’s raw power and menacing charm secured her recognition as one of the most important abstract bass music artists of the last decade, performing frequently along the east coast of Australia. In 2016 Various Asses released their debut EP ‘Loción’ on Melbourne/Naarm label Nice Music, and after the self-released‘POSESIÓN’ in 2020 they are set to unveil their the a much awaited full length on NM in 2022.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
