Liveschool 2025: A Year of Personal Bests
From our Sydney studio to festival main stages, industry awards and millions upon millions of streams. Twenty years on, our community is still shaping the future of electronic music.
Charts, Awards & Big Firsts
When Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer hit #1 on the ARIA Dance Albums chart and #4 on the overall chart, it didn’t just mark a personal breakthrough – it felt like a collective moment for everyone who has ever sweated over a session in our classrooms and studios.
Nina’s year was enormous:
- Three ARIA Awards: Best Solo Artist; Breakthrough Artist; Best Independent Release
- 2025 J Award — Australian Album of the Year
- 2025 Australian Music Prize
- Rage Music Video of the Year for “Fuck My Computer”
- 2025 Breakthrough Artist of the Year – NSW Music Prize
GLVES had her own breakthrough moment – winning Best Pop Music Video at the European Music Video Awards
for ‘Time’ and delivering the soundtrack to the Brisbane Festival 2025 campaign.

Festival Stages & Global Platforms
Awards are one thing – hearing those productions tear through big-system speakers is another. In 2025, Liveschool artists stepped onto some of the world’s most iconic stages.
- Loods brought pure euphoria to Boiler Room London
- FUKHED’s Boiler Room: Sydney set erupted with chaotic brilliance.
- Sir Jude continued her rise with Glastonbury Festival and SXSW Austin slots.
- Back home, Moss moved from club rooms into major festival territory at Wildlands and Rabbits Eat Lettuce.
- Carla Martinez delivered tightly wound techno to the Beyond The Valley main stage.
And then came the moment none of us expected to write: Neotek released ‘Show Em’ with DJ Diesel (yes, Shaquille O’Neal), and was invited onstage at Ubbi Dubbi Festival to perform it live.

Radio Waves & Media Takeovers
2025 also pushed Liveschool sounds deeper across global radio.
Beyond that, alumni and trainers surfaced across influential platforms:
- Logic1000 curated an official mix for DJ-Kicks release featuring two new originals, a forward-thinking remix of José González’s “Heartbeats”, plus tracks from Liveschool fam DJ Plead and Big Ever.
- Moss took over triple j’s Mix Up for a four-week concept residency weaving bass, garage, dubstep and DnB with contributions from Latent Space, East Esplanade and Ninajirachi.
- More highlights from our DJ Sets & Live Shows round-up from 2025 include sets from Ninajirachi, Jungist, Mirasia, Billy Xane and Luen.

Labels, Film & TV Syncs & Industry Breakthroughs
Not every milestone hits the headlines – some arrive quietly but reshape careers: your first label deal, your first Movie soundtrack sync, your first songs crossing six-figure streams.
This year included:
- UK Garage producer Club Angel kept the pressure high with a string of 2025 releases including “Outrun,” “Steppin’ Up!” and “Burna,” plus a standout rework “Feel The Friction (Club Angel Remix)” — locking in a prolific breakout year.
- East Esplanade’s debut EP Think Once on their co-founded label Life Without Mirrors.
- Dyan Tai’s ‘Let’s Get Bubble Tea’ gaining traction with Rolling Stone and SXSW Sydney.
- Sohail Godwin’s edits gaining global support from FISHER and surfacing across DJ videos worldwide.
- BRUX signed to influential electronic label LuckyMe and dropped the explosive single “CA$HED UP” with Baauer and Surya Sen – a major leap into global club consciousness.
- Pax Maisin’s debut EP 4mat of a Girl with early Mixmag support.
- Moss’s first international collaboration with UK rapper Example on Monstercat, racing past 200k streams per platform. (Mixed and mastered by Liveschool’s SUB-human.)
Albums, EPs & the Long Game
Singles are snapshots. Albums and EPs are the long-form spaces where years of sound design, songwriting and experimentation lock together.
2025 delivered a wave of these bigger statements:
- Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer breaking new ground in so many ways.
- Sublime debut full-length album Labyrinth from Paris
- GLVES’s Belonging EP carving out intricate pop-electronic territory.
- Anna Lunoe releasing her long-awaited debut album Pearl via NLV Records.
PARIS delivered their debut long-form project, Touch Sensitive returned with a fully realised album, Montaigne took a new path and switched from major label to fully independent and self-produced, and Sakr’s Materials stretched into art-gallery territory with a cassette-mixtape edition.
