EXCURSIONS

Get ready to step into a sonic time machine with Excursions — a genre-defying live experience that reimagines the most iconic Hip Hop, RNB, and Soul tracks of the past 50 years through the lens of jazz. Spearheaded by powerhouse vocalist Eliza Wolfgramm (The Avalanches) and Australia’s undisputed queen of Hip Hop/RNB DJing, YO! MAFIA, Excursions is more than a performance — it's a tribute to the sample-rich soul of modern music. With a band featuring some of the country’s most electrifying jazz talent on keys, drums, and brass, Excursions transforms the club into a New Orleans-style juke joint, paying homage to legends like Chaka Khan, Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, and Nelly — all with a swinging, funk-laced twist.

YO! MAFIA, fresh from spinning across global stages with the likes of Pharrell, Stevie Wonder, and Missy Elliott, brings her deep-rooted knowledge of Hip Hop’s evolution from jazz and soul into a fresh, floor-shaking format. Her collaborator, Eliza Wolfgramm, has shared stages with everyone from De La Soul to Fat Freddy’s Drop, and her commanding voice was the centrepiece of The Avalanches’ Wildflower World Tour, including standout sets at Coachella and Glastonbury. Together, this unstoppable duo presents Excursions — a one-of-a-kind fusion of DJ culture and live jazz that rewrites the rules of the dancefloor.
