Liveschool 2025 – Milestones, Breakthroughs and a year of wins

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.

Twenty years. In 2026 that’s how long Liveschool will have been been helping electronic music producers turn their dreams into reality – from our little room in Sydney to stages around the world. In that time we’ve watched students hit every kind of milestone: first mixes, first releases, first shows, gold records, even Grammy-level recognition. From ARIA charts to festival stages, debut albums to film scores, these were the moments that defined their year….

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.

Ninajirachi – I Love My Computer

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.

Other notable milestones:

Flume x JPEGMAFIA

One of our earliest trainers , Flume returned with We Live in a Society – a surprise collaborative EP with JPEGMAFIA released fully independently.


Liveschool Artist and FX Racks

Throughout the year we’ve all loved challenging ourselves to come up with creative and inspiring racks for the Liveschool fam. Bellow is a selection from this year as well as an exclusive first look at Bass God MOSS’ mini pack!


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.

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:

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.

Beyond the Club: Film, Sync & Storytelling

Production skills travel. Once you learn to build worlds from sound, you can carry them anywhere. And music production is a storytelling toolkit.

In 2025, more alumni moved into film soundtracks, installation and cross-disciplinary work. Ôntrei’s score for Bunny premiered at SXSW Sydney, GLVES’s Brisbane Festival theme music showed how left-of-centre pop can anchor a major cultural campaign, and Sakr’s Materials stretched into art-gallery territory with self-made interactive visuals and a cassette-mixtape edition.
