Tryp III

American multidisciplinary artist Lyra Pramuk (now based in Berlin), brings her unique interpretation of devotional music to Tryp. Combining a rapidly evolving technological approach with the power of the human voice, Pramuk will transport audiences to a transformative and meditative state. Following the success of her last album Fountain, Pramuk’s expansive new release Hymnal is her own book of transformational worship songs, drawing from folk, house, techno, gospel and her formal classical education to construct a symphonic universe.

British-born, Berlin-based Sam Barker has long sought to push the boundaries of experimental dance music. The Berghain resident and co-founder of the Leisure System label, whose accompanying club night held the longest residency in Berghain’s history, consistently looks beyond the realm of 4/4 techno to explore left-field sound design and rhythmic complexity. His string of signature solo releases on Ostgut Ton explore the twisting, rhythmic extremes of modular electronics and his live sets unselfconsciously combine bass music, breakbeat and dub elements into a uniquely shimmering brand of ambient techno that still maintains a strong connection to the dancefloor.

DJ /rupture (Jace Clayton) is a musical nomad whose practice spans continents, genres and sonic cultures. A DJ and turntablist since the mid 90s, DJ /rupture first made waves internationally with the genre-melting Gold Teeth Thief mix, layering hip-hop, Middle Eastern tones, and dancehall - named as one of the "50 Records of the Year" by The Wire in 2001. Known for his mastery of clashing genres and diversity of sound, since then DJ /rupture has continually blurred boundaries, inviting listeners into global soundscapes where rhythm, resonance and radical listening rule.

Reimagining ‘serious’ music with their own unique style of irreverence, DJ and club organiser D-grade loves to play at the margins between ‘mind’ and ‘body’ music. Based on Gadigal land, D-grade revels in frenetic, hypnotic, bossy and beautiful sounds, performing noteworthy sets as part of Dark Mofo, Soft Centre and more. For D-Grade, sharing music is about listening, receiving, exchanging, moving, feeling, responding, and reciprocating.

Andrew Wilson (Andras) and John Tanner (Eleventeen Eston) create joyous, lush soundscapes shaped by the environment in which it was recorded. Laidback, sparse, warm and escalating, their albums are not just collections of compositions but documents of place, woven with the ambient textures of the world around them and painted with improvised electronics and lo-fi textures. Their most recent release, Legends (2025), was recorded among the vines of South Australia’s Manon Farm and captures the agricultural, ambient haze of a working vineyard, where ducks, dogs, tractors and plovers are all fermented along with brass, balalaika, balloon, pipe and synths, letting the sediment linger in the bottle.

Iranian-born, Adelaide based santur player Maryam Rahmani joins with composer and pianist Sebastian Collen to present a conversation in preparation and disassembly of instrumentation and the joy of deep sound. Drawing on each artist's cultural background and craft, combined with non-traditional techniques and experimentation, the work presented is a decidedly moving and fresh take on classical traditions.

Based in Tarntanya, Romi is a Lebanese-Australian DJ and selector with a focus on global reaction, cultural dialogue and the collision of sounds. As a DJ, Romi holds a deep love for brooding, left-field, melancholic and hypnotic sounds. With mixes that prioritise connection and emotion, Romi is the perfect opening artist to set the mood for Tryp III.
