A Perth DJ bringing home-scene energy to the Sunday Luna opener, with a LOCUS slot that pairs neatly with Pegasus across the weekend.
Samantics arrives at LOCUS as part of the Perth contingent with a proper local thread behind the name. She is a Perth DJ from the same WA drum and bass orbit as Pegasus, and together they give the lineup a human connection: two selectors from the same city, the same scene and the same partnership taking separate moments across the festival.
The Sunday 2pm Luna slot calls for someone who can open the day with taste, clarity and lift. Samantics should read as a proper final-day reset: enough roll to wake the system up, enough melody and movement to pull people back in, and no need to overplay when Sunday still has a long way to run.
This is a good one for the crew to actually catch, not just nod at in the schedule. Samantics makes the Perth presence at LOCUS feel personal, especially with Pegasus already covering Thursday duties. Sunday starts here; if the group wants a WA flag planted early on the beach-club day, this is the slot.
