MV019 Dirty Versachi

Naarm / Melbourne-based DJ, producer and singer, Dirty Versachi is an alien creature assimilating on their new planet by channelling feelings of isolation into innovative new art. Teaming up with co-producer Andrew Huhtanen McEwan (Huntly), mixing engineer Tim Watt (MUTO, Golden Features) and mastering engineer Klaus Hill (PNAU, Ministry Of Sound) to sculpt the DirtyVersachi sound. Although they are the new kid on the block, since their launch in May 2021, they have made waves within the Australian music industry achieving support from triple j, MTV Upload and Spotify editorial playlists (Just chill, New Dance Beats, New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Sunday Sessions, to name a few). They have also achieved media support from KALTBLUT, Stoney Roads, Pilerats, To Be magazine, Life Without Andy, Like Velvet, Acid Stag and Musicfeeds.

Dirty Versachiʼs live performances are an enigmatic experience, as they perform as an alien drag queen who embodies superstar energy. Their set is a combination of DJing, singing live and choreographed movements with backup dancers. In March 2021 Dirty Versachi had 4 performances at Mardi Gras which included two Heaps Gay parties, a performance at The Bearded Tit and an appearance at Barbaʼs club night. By owning their fem, non-binary energy, they are working to inspire a shift in the music industry to celebrate and support queer artists. They believe in using the power of fantasy and self-expression to create healing and bring people together as a community.

With their current release ‘Fantasy Control’ and their forthcoming single ‘Pumped Up Like A Pony’ set to be release at the end of May, Dirty Versachi has moved their sound into a dance club era with a DJ mix curated for Music Victoria to showcase inspiration of soundscapes they gravitate towards.
