Sonic explorers, label heads, and defiantly DIY, Sleep D explore the rave unconscious through driving rhythms, hypnotic bass, worlds of echo and the hazy bliss of the morning after. Childhood friends with Iraqi and Maltese lineage, the duo and their coveted Butter Sessions label have ushered in a new era, sensibility and productivity to the city that raised them.

Over the last decade, Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have issued a steady stream of diverse records, alongside long-standing DJ residencies and an ever-evolving live show. Their brilliant debut album Rebel Force was released on Anthony Naples superlative NYC label Incienso in 2019 and perfectly encapsulated their singular take on bush doof, mutated house, acid scraps and ambient.

Their Butter Sessions imprint has helped bring Melbourne's underbelly of mutant bleeps, breaks and subterranean techno to a worldwide audience. Sleep D recently celebrated an outstanding first decade of the label with the triple 12" series - 10 Years of Butter Sessions.

Support from Strange Behaviour DJs.
