Music — Deep Listening
Line Up from Restival Retreat 2026
ART
Art Pitchford aka Art is a Trawoolway Pakana man from Tasmania and co-founder of
Nuyina, exploring the margins of ambient, dub, deep house and minimal. His sets favour
restraint over resolution with slow shifts, softened edges, familiar forms bending quietly
toward the unknown.
Across a decade of playing across Melbourne and Tasmania, with appearances at
Revolver Upstairs Fridays, Killing Time, Slow Burn, Hopkins Creek Festival and Moniker
Festival, and recently supported internationals including DJ Dustin.
DJ EARL GREY
An absolute wizard of genre-less mixing with over a decade of experience sharing music professionally. Incredibly passionate and dedicated to the scene, he has curated and organised events with Rimbombo and Made in the Shade, while also sourcing releases for Best Effort Records. Co-parent of Tender Place, DJ Earl Grey’s sets span everything from peak time club energy to immersive deep listening environments.
Very excited to see and witness what he brings to Restival. He has performed across the country’s independent festival circuit including Inner Varnika, Hopkins Creek, Sonder, Diega, Soma, Realm Riparia and Mach1, as well as iconic spaces like the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre.
REV LON
A multidisciplinary artist known for her immersive, textural sets that blend genres like ambient, IDM, minimal, microhouse, and dub techno.
Known for her love of deep sounds, often playing with the space where genre boundaries blur!
LETS get blurry, restful and sound immersed.
STEPH KITINGAN
With a passion for archival music stemming from her mother's ethnomusicology background,
Steve is an eclectic selector, often drawing contrasting genres together to form pleasing sonic
tapestries.
An amateur musician, she combines years of classical piano training with self-taught guitar,
translating this foundation into contemporary electronic collaborations with artists including
Grace Ferguson (Make It Up Club), Kerry Fressard, James Greville (Mad Habitat Recordings),
R.Rebeiro, and performance collective Ciel Metallique, led by Aarti Jadu.
An exciting lineup of sound we hope you will enjoy as much as we do.
