1. DJ Sveta
Born in the Soviet Union, on the run, Sound Of Music style, for several years through
Europe, and eventually landing in her new home, Australia, this Sydney DJ and
producer is considered spinning royalty in her adopted country. Pioneering many
club nights, she has worked every veritable corner of the scene — both above
ground and below — to master a sound that is quintessentially Sveta.
The company this unique talent keeps is testament to her work and has seen her play
along side the likes of Derrick Carter, Kolombo, Azealia Banks, Cakes Da Killa, Frankie
Knuckles, 5kin & Bone5 (Matrixxman), Deep Dish, The 2 Bears, David Morales, Kim Ann
Foxman, Big Freedia, Kylie Minogue, Scissor Sisters, John Digweed, Chicks on Speed,
Larry Tee, The Presets, and Boy George to name a few. Regularly on demand, Sveta
continues to work the stage with both legendary and emerging DJs who share her
passion for breaking new ground.
On tour Sveta has supported artists including Peaches, Amanda Palmer, The Julie
Ruin, Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), spun the beats for Shunda K (Yo Majesty!) and
collaborated with Emmy Award winning pianist & composer, Lance Horne on a live
piano/house set at the Sydney Opera House & BAM Brooklyn. She’s also regularly
curated as a DJ/ collaborator at arts events for the Museum Of Contemporary Art,
Carriageworks, Vivid Live, Opera Australia, Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney
Opera House.
As a Music Director, this multi-faceted talent has carved out an additional niche by
framing some of the country’s largest fashion events with her signature style, including
a decade of runway soundtracks at MBFWA (Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia)
as well as being their resident DJ for the past three years. Such events have included
fashion shows for Chanel, VOGUE, Collette Dinnigan (Paris Fashion Week),
Zimmermann, Bec & Bridge, CAMEO, Johanna Johnson, AJE, as well as her 11year

2. collaboration as Music Director for top Australian haute couture designer & judge on
Australia’s Next Top Model, Alex Perry. alexperry.com.au
Sveta has also made her mark abroad in cities including London (Dick & Fanny’s,
Dalston Superstore & many more), Paris, Verona, Japan, Barcelona (Razzmatazz),
Copenhagen, Toronto, Berlin (SchwuZ & Ficken3000) and New Zealand.
Sveta’s artistic collaboration with DJ and producer Tokoloshe include the production
of official remixes for Amanda Palmer’s Map of Tasmania feat Peaches, The Carry
Nation’s This Bitch is Alive (Batty Bass Records), a remix for Aussie electro-pop group
Garçon Garçon in Hollywood Song, Up Yours (Horse Meat Disco’s Severino & HiFi
Sean) with their hit London (feat Feral/Mc Kinky) (on NYC’s Get Up Recordings) and
Johnny Dynell’s Marie Montana (on Hannah Holland’s Batty Bass Records).
Sveta’s new project LAPLUSTRE is a performance & production collaboration with
rock/electronic musician & DJ Estée Louder. They first started working together in 2015
on a number of remix projects commissioned by the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi
Gras Parade & After Party. This included a dance remake for Qantas Airways of their
famous Children’s Choir theme song of I Still Call Australia Home, a medley for
International pop artist Betty Who’s live performance and a New York VOGUE - style
remix for Australian Indigenous superstar Jessica Mauboy’s songs for performance in
front of 10,000 people.
LAPLUSTRE’S original production and DJ sets are typically a darker and more sonically
sensual journey…. but girls do wanna have fun!
DJ Sveta truly is a multi-genre DJ. She intuitively reads her audience and plays
accordingly, drawing from her enormous library of classic, current and emerging
sounds, weaving her way seamlessly through the tracks. She dauntlessly crosses
between disco and house, vogue beats to tribal, tech, techno and beyond. A
10,000+ vinyl collection spanning over 2 decades teamed with her passion for
discovering new styles yields a unique freshness to Sveta’s sound. Her lifelong
obsession with dance music gives her the unique ability to contextualise the music
within her sets. Her flawless mixing skills assist her in taking the listener on a heartfelt
journey, whether it is playing at a corporate function with any kind of brief or theme, a
wedding, to a purist House or Techno set or via a multi-genre party experience.
