Brisbane's home of all things UKG, Prohibition Nightclub brings another fresh installment to our recurring rave series: left:field. This time we're bringing one of the UK's finest garage producers along for the ride, Skeptic! Joining him is Meanjin native (now Naarm based) Midnight Dance Party for the first weekend of spring - FRIDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER.
Southampton-based speed garage sensation, Skeptic, exploded onto the scene at the beginning of 2023 when his ec2a dubplate Doin Nish / Bumpa sold out within minutes. The release followed a 12-week run of hugely popular free downloads on SoundCloud that included edits of Sean Paul, Whitney Houston, and General Levy. His sub-heavy productions including some highly sought-after dubs have since found their way into the record bags of Interplanetary Criminal, Girls Don't Sync, Joy Orbison, and more.
Tim, aka Midnight Dance Party, is a rising electronic artist from Melbourne, known for crafting emotionally rich, atmospheric dance music. Tracks like without ur love and may i have this dance have resonated deeply with listeners, earning spots on major Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists. With over 3.5 million total streams, support from one of Australia's largest radios, Triple J, and performances alongside acts like Memphis LK, 1TBSP, and Ben Gerrans Midnight Dance Party is quickly carving out a distinct space in the electronic music scene.
Milla Jane is a Meanjin based UK Garage DJ that has supported some of the biggest names in the scene (DJ EZ & Osmosis Jones to name a few). Having began her music career only a short time ago, she has quickly become a favourite at local hotspots, like Felons, QUIVR, Rics, the Prince Consort and SoHo Bar. Milla recently picked up up the 2nd place spot in the 2025 Prohibition DJ Competition, having beat out over 40 other contestants over 4 weeks with her unique sound and skillful mixing. A purveyor of smooth speed garage hits, cheeky UKG doubles and pure high-octane energy, expect nothing but class from Ms Jane as she closes off the night after Skeptic!
