with leo, Darvid Thor

Naarm-based producer and songwriter Aydin Sayar has been labelled as one of "Melbourne’s most magnetic performers”, swirling together dreamy guitars and synths with weighty lyrics to produce melancholic dance tracks that have captivated audiences since 2019’s debut single, ‘Monday’. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Deerhunter, Tame Impala and Beach House, Aydin’s ability to turn his inner battles with depression and anxiety into indie-pop hits has seen him collaborate with the likes of Mallrat, Japanese Wallpaper and Hamish Patrick (Gretta Ray, George Alice) - building a tight knit community of dedicated writers.

Darvid Thor is a songwriter, instrumentalist, and record label owner (Beloved Recordings) based in Naarm, Australia. Having played guitar since the age of 12 alongside now lifelong friends in The Cactus Channel and Karate Boogaloo, Darvid has since crafted numerous records with various groups, including his solo music. Leaning into a more cinematic and orchestral space within the idiom of indie and alternative music, Darvid's talent for turning the temperate and tiresome into something a little more serene is a testament to someone whose equanimity remains a cornerstone of their sound. Since the release of his “absorbing, photosynthetic, warped, beautiful” (Max Quinn - Triple J) record, 'I'm Never Really Here’ in 2019, Darvid’s brand of woozy indie rock has afforded support from Beach Fossils, Danger Mouse, Double J, Triple J Unearthed, and Indie Shuffle, to name a few. 2024 sees the release of new music via his own record label, Beloved Recordings (Lewis Coleman, Rowena Wise).

Leo (they/them) is a Naarm/Melbourne based singer songwriter writing earnest and sincere songs in the indie/folk/rock genre. 2023 saw Leo emerge with an incredible 4 piece band, to complete the atmospheric heavy nature of ‘Doctor’, ‘Half Unconscious’, ‘Rough Hands’ and upcoming releases. Known for their piercingly honest style of songwriting that has earned an abundance of praise through singles ‘Doctor’, ‘Half Unconscious’ and ‘Rough Hands’, Naarm-based songwriter Leo has now released their long anticipated debut EP ‘Please Leave Quietly’, alongside lead single ‘Tendencies’. 2023 saw Leo play alongside indie royalty Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Eaglemont, The Lazy Susans, Tamara and the Dreams and many other AU favourites. Be sure to watch their movements in 2024 to see what more they do!
