Ten Local Dance Acts You Don’t Want To Miss At This Year’s Lost Paradise
Keeping this to just ten acts was beyond difficult…
So, unless you’re living under a rock you’re probably still reeling after the release of the Lost Paradise lineup yesterday, the return of the beloved dance wonderland renewing that age-old excitement that only a banger festival lineup can induce.
It no doubt has the best of both worlds. From rock and hip hop royalty in Arctic Monkeys and Lil Nas X to globetrotting deckslingers in Peggy Gou and hometown hero Mall Grab (we could honestly keep going), it’s essentially everything you could ask for in a lineup and batch of headliners.
But as is always the case with the Glenworth Valley festival, and especially its dance acts, the bill is filled with an absolute abundance of local talent, serving up wide-spanning genres ranging from house to disco to techno and everything in between in what’s a chasm of groove. So much so that we thought that we’d highlight a couple of those acts this year (trust me when I say keeping this list to just ten DJs was an absolute mission), to ensure you get the very best out of your Lost Paradise experience for 2022.

Take Me To Church! LWA Article.
Alexa, play 'Take Me To Church' by Hozier.
“Ahh man. It’s just really disheartening to see so many friends put so much effort into event planning and reviving the music scene in so-called Australia, only for everything to fall through at the eleventh hour. I am strongly in favour of implementing measures which protect our more vulnerable populations, but there needs to be thorough industry consultation each step of the way. My heart also really goes out to my immunocompromised friends in the industry & those who can’t afford to risk working right now. I think it’s really disappointing that the onus has been put solely on creatives to decide whether to risk exposure or not, and I’m hoping that more measures are implemented ASAP which provide crucial support to the arts (a literal billion dollar industry in this country).” – Latifa Tee, DJ/Artist

Mahalia vs. The Green Eye-d Monster on Arvos with Latifa Tee
Resident UK RnB queen Mahalia spoke to Latifa Tee on Arvos about making music in lockdown, articulating experiences of jealousy through music, and cutting loose from unsupportive friends.
Cross-Atlantic RnB phenomenon Mahalia might have had a quieter 2020 than expected – following the breakthrough release of her 2019 album Love and Compromise, she was slated to play at Brixton Academy on her 22nd birthday. But with the extra time, her musical output didn’t disappoint; five collaborations, one remix with Cam’ron, one acoustic cover and an EP later, Mahalia shook off 2020 (the Bad Year) and stepped in to 2021 (the Good Year) with Rico Nasty on ‘Jealous’. The collaboration perfectly showcases her style, drawing as much inspiration from TLC as from the sound of fellow Brits Jorja Smith or Ella Mai.
