Tight now is the perfect time to get hyped, via 9 recorded DJ or live sets from performers heading to this year’s event in Belfast on the June Bank Holiday at AVA.

Partiboi69
Australia’s most fun electro DJ.
Live @ AVA Festival: Friday June 3rd, The Grasses
Some DJs are incredibly serious looking. Not Partiboi69.
The Australian DJ is known for wearing a pair of sneakers draped over his neck, crooked sunglasses and his high-energy DJ sets that dip between g-house, electro, Miami bass and g-tech and an exuberant mixing style.
This is one of those dizzying fun mixes you should revisit every few months, with tracks from DJ Boneyard, DJ Rashad, DJ Deeon, DJ Protein, Dizzee Rascal and Paul Johnson.
As a Youtube comment says “I hate when people compare Partiboi69 to God. I mean, he’s good, but he’s no Partiboi69.”
