Derrick Gee’s Radio Hour

Part music talk show, part communal listening experience — Derrick Gee’s Radio Hour transforms Melbourne Recital Centre into a living room full of friends. A self-described ‘professional music fan’, the Sydney/Eora-based DJ and tastemaker has built a devoted global following through an instinct for uncovering the emotional worlds inside music. Following a sold-out performance at Sydney Opera House, his Radio Hour special arrives in narrm with guest appearances from singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin and cult label founder Michael Kucyk of Efficient Space . With a nod to Radio Hours of the past, the evening moves through curated tracks, live performance and personal reflection. Calling on esteemed musician friends from his personal Rolodex and drawing from a vast archive, Gee uses music to trace the links between culture and connection. Tracks become gateways into playful, heartfelt conversations about what it means to truly listen. A trusted presence in contemporary music culture, Gee has recently sat down with Lorde , Jamie xx , PinkPantheress and Fred again.. for his YouTube show Solid Air .
