Plus some all-time stories… Jimmy Barnes performing Disco Inferno in a gay club, accidental fires behind the bar, chaotic “introductions”, and the moments that defined an era. This isn’t the polished version — this is how it really was. If you were there, you’ll know.

    Jewelz: The Underground Queen Of Hard Trance 90s–2000s Trance Legend

    Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Jewelz to break down her journey through the underground — from being a female DJ in the 90s when the scene wasn’t built for women, to dominating Sydney’s hard trance clubs at a time when the sound was exploding. She opens up on what it was really like earning respect behind the decks, why hard trance had such a grip on the scene, and the realities of navigating a male-dominated industry. From there, she takes a left turn — moving to Melbourne, stepping away from the spotlight to run a record shop, and eventually rebuilding her career from the ground up. This is a story about resilience, reinvention, and becoming a true Melbourne legend through eras most people will never understand.
