🌐 AUSTRALIAN DEBUT - WA LONG WEEKEND SPECIAL 🌐

🌴 SUNDAY 31ST MAY 2026 🌴

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get ready for a special WA Long Weekend edition of BALADI, where Middle Eastern sounds, global rhythms and club energy come together for a night like no other. This time, we are excited to welcome AKU (LA) to Perth for his first ever Australia debut.

The LA-based DJ/producer is the name behind some of the most iconic Arab, Punjabi and South Asian edits moving through global club music right now. Known for his high-energy, genre-bending sets, AKU blends diaspora classics with underground dance sounds, creating a sound that connects cultures and dance floors across the world.

His sets fuse Arab, Punjabi and Bollywood influences with Amapiano, Baile Funk, Kuduro, Dembow, Jungle, UKG, Grime, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, Jersey Club and more — bringing together cultural gems, heavy edits and global club sounds in true BALADI fashion.

With 500k+ streams across platforms and support from Boiler Room, Rinse FM, NTS, BBC Asia, DJ Habibeats, Sammy Virji, Saint Levant, Sarz, Punjabi MC and more, AKU’s sound has become a true global club force.

Join us as we celebrate culture, rhythm and community with a full dancefloor journey from start to finish, alongside MC Jay Ku and live entertainment by Elysian Creative.
