MEET PAISLEY
Paisley Heart (they/them) is the bleeding heart of the dancefloor, an artist whose music pulses between raw vulnerability, political defiance, and sexual liberation.
Their sound spans from provocative techno to euphoric electro-dance confessionals to fierce drum & bass protest anthems. Paisley’s genre-bending catalogue captures the queer experience through the lens of rave euphoria.
On the decks, their DJ sets are charged and unpredictable; moving fluidly across genres and BPMs, always curated for emotional release. Their last Sydney single launch sold out and drew glowing reviews, cementing their reputation as both a performer and curator of unforgettable experiences.
Beyond the stage, Paisley is a visionary events producer, queer activist, and founder of Rave Temple and Queer Sauna Sounds. Their work centers queer joy and liberation, pushing culture forward from underground raves to public platforms, including collaborations with Sydney City Council, Mardi Gras and Triple J on sex-positivity. Additionally, Paisley has brought their unique tools, performances and vision to renowned festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Whole (Berlin), Hedoné (Berlin), and Subsonic.
Through their music, facilitation and events, Paisley Heart serves as a beacon for the sex-positive and queer community, championing radical self-expression and providing a playful, campy escape for all who join the journey.
