MV017 Caity Watsøn

Bio

A Caity Watsøn set maintains a meticulous progression that skillfully balances her signature blend of intense kicks and dark grooves with hypnotic/hyper lyrics and utter silliness to keep her crowd energised and surprised. From dark and hypnotic techno, to hard industrial techno, to hard dance, and even house and disco, Caity's sound shines through consistently no matter what genre she covers.

Grateful for Naarm’s thriving music scene, Caity has had the honour of playing at iconic Melbourne venues such as Revolver Upstairs, My Aeon, Rubix Warehouse, KISS FM, Area3000 & Melbourne Pavilion, as well as guest spots for Music Victoria, Anomalie Collective, Proponent Records and more. In 2023, Caity was signed as a resident artist for Track08 and was nominated for Best DJ at the Music Victoria Awards 2023.

Caity draws inspiration from labels such as KD Raw, HATE, Filth on Acid & OBSCUUR Records, and from producers such as Caravel, Brutalismus 3000, Mark Greene, Part Time Killer, Hanubis, Flug, Svarog & Nørbak. Her musical influences extend beyond the electronic realm, finding inspiration in metal, doom, grunge, alt rock, disco & funk genres.

A manifestation of her years of passion for connecting like-minded people & building a community, Caity is also the founder of Naarm techno collective '150 BPM', which focuses on monthly parties showcasing raw, hypnotic and hard techno genres. ‘150 BPM’ is a mindset – aiming to push artists to play what they thought they could never get away with.
