Kate Miller

Kate Miller’s set for the DUNJ takeover in Sydney is for those nights when you want the driving pulse of tech-house but secretly crave the emotional release of a 2000s trance anthem. The vibe is a sweaty, hands-in-the-air warehouse party where everyone knows the words to 'Sandstorm'. Operating at a brisk 150.9 BPM average, the harmonic journey is cleverly built around the key of 5A, providing a bright, major-key uplift that defines the set's mood. The energy is robustly low-end led (0.62 average) but with a significant mid-range presence for those infectious synth hooks, creating a balance that's both physical and melodic.

Mixing is energetic and crowd-pleasing, using long blends and filtered builds to craft obvious but effective peaks. The crate digging is a fun mix of old and new: 'Andrae Durden - Humo' kicks things off with a chunky, rolling groove. 'Wolftron - Endless Desires' is a highlight of shimmering, progressive house longing. 'Chicago Loop - Don't Let It Go' is a timeless, vocal-driven house workout, and 'Castano - Specta (Deepfunk Remix)' brings a dose of funky, filtered disco.

'System F - Out of the Blue 2010' tees up the grand finale, which is, of course, the unironic, full-force drop into 'Darude - Sandstorm'. The full tracklist arc begins with the deep thump of 'Humo', builds through the emotional crescendo of 'Exorcismo' by Maōh, and climaxes with the ultimate, meme-worthy closing track: 'Sandstorm'.
