CICADA

CICADA ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS NEW ERA OF TECHNO. HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY 90S RAVE CULTURE AND THE EUROPEAN NIGHTCLUB SCENE, THIS IS EMBEDDED IN OUR NEW TAKE ON DESIGN, PHOTOGRAPHY AND YOU THE AUDIENCE. CICADA ARE PAVING THE WAY FOR A NEW GENERATION OF CREATIVES WHICH ARE DIVERSE IN BOTH BACKGROUND AND GENRE. THE ONE THING WE WILL ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS OUR LOVE FOR THIS SPACE. INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY WITHIN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER. WE STRIVE TO ACHIEVE THIS THROUGHOUT FALL, BY CREATING A SAFE AND INCLUSIVE SPACE WHICH IS KNOWN TO MANY AS HOME. WE ARE ALL GROWING TOGETHER IN THIS EMERGING CULTURE AND SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER ON THIS JOURNEY. THIS IS EVIDENT BY WAY OF FALL, THREE EVENTS WHICH CAPPED OFF A SENSATIONAL START TO THE NEW YEAR AS THE BRAND BEGINS TO FLOURISH.

EXPLORE AN EXPERIENCE IN THE FORM OF VISUAL DESIGN AND LITERATURE

THROUGH THE LENS OF CHARLES TRAYNOR, WE EXPLORE THESE EVENTS WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER A COMMUNITY LIKE NONE OTHER. COUNTLESS MOMENTS AND MEMORIES WERE SHARED AND ENCAPSULATED THROUGHOUT THIS MAGAZINE. DURING FALL WE WERE SO LUCKY TO BE JOINED BY OUR AMAZING ARTISTS WHICH HAVE REALLY SET THE TONE FOR WINTER. WE IMPLORE YOU TO VIEW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK BACK AND REVISIT THESE SHARED MEMORIES. TO THOSE NEW FACES, WE HOPE TO EXCITE YOU AND HAVE YOU JOIN US ON THIS WILD JOURNEY THAT WE CALL CICADA.

FALL COLLECTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY ON BEHALF OF NEW GUERINICA AND CICADA

INTRODUCTION BODY

EDITION 03

CICADA

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY IS A WAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PAY RESPECT TO FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE AS THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS AND ONGOING CUSTODIANS OF THE LAND.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ARE OFTEN MADE AT THE START OF AN EVENT - SUCH AS A MEETING, SPEECH OR FORMAL OCCASION. AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CAN BE MADE BY ANYBODY - FIRST NATIONS OR NONINDIGENOUS. AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY WILL OFTEN HIGHLIGHT THE UNIQUE POSITION OF FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURE AND HISTORY, AND THEIR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LAND. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MAKE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY. IT CAN BE SPOKEN, WRITTEN, OR SIGNED (AUSLAN - SIGN LANGUAGE). THE WORDS CAN VARY AND PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN A WAY THAT IS PERSONAL AND SPECIFIC TO PLACE. IT’S EASY TO COPY AN ALREADY SCRIPTED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, BUT IT’S MORE MEANINGFUL TO WRITE ONE IN YOUR VOICE. CICADA WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE WURUNDJERI PEOPLE, THE TRADITIONAL CUSTODIANS OF THE LAND ON WHICH WE GATHER FOR OUR EVENTS. ON BEHALF OF NEW GEURNICA, WE PAY OUR RESPECTS TO THEIR ELDERS PAST, PRESENT AND EMERGING. WE EXTEND THAT RESPECT TO OUR ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLE WHO ARE DANCING, PARTYING OR VIEWING OUR WORK TODAY.

WITH EUPHORIA BEING POSTPONED TO FEBRUARY, THERE WAS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN TERMS OF THE EVENTS LINEUP.

EUPHORIA DESC. STEPS

CICADA

FIRST OF THE SEASON

WE HAD TO MAKE A LATE CHANGE, WHICH MEANT WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE OOTS JOIN US. WHENEVER CHANGING A DATE OF AN EVENT, WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL THAT OUR DJS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE POSTPONED DATE. EUPHORIA FEATURED SUKI A NAARM BASED DJ WHO HAS BEEN IN THE SCENE FOR QUITE A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW. PLAYING AT THE LIKES OF PITCH MUSIC & ARTS AND MANY MELBOURNE VENUES WE ALL CALL HOME. THERE WAS HIGH ANTICIPATION AHEAD OF EUPHORIA, SELLING OUT OUR ONLINE ALLOCATION, IN ADDITION TO THE RELEASE OF OOTS’ NEW EP UNMATCHED ENERGY FOR UE RECORDS. LOOKING BACK ON THE NIGHT, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WILD IN THE DIVE BAR FROM THE GET GO. FORM1LANE, MISTR DEAN & STEWI WERE THROWING DOWN HEAVY OLD SCHOOL TRANCE AND FAST PACED TECHNO, SPARKING ELECTRICITY IN THE BUILDING PRE OOTS & SUKI. SUKI OPENED WITH HIS ORIGINAL ‘PURPLE HAZE’ WHICH INSTANTLY ELEVATED THE DANCE FLOOR. THE IMAGES CAPTURED WILL ALLOW VIEWERS TO SEE THE ENERGY AND JOY THAT WAS IN THE BUILDING. EUPHORIA ENCAPSULATED CICADA’S FIRST EVENT FOR THE NEW YEAR. CO FOUNDER / MAISON BELL EVENT SUMMARY

MORE ABOUT OUR GOALS AND VISION BEHIND CICADA

CICADA IS ALL ABOUT BEING AN INCLUSIVE GATHERING. WE WANT EVERYONE AND ANYONE TO FEEL WELCOME, AND LOOK TO CICADA’S EVENTS AS A SECOND HOME.

THE HEART OF COLLINGWOOD, SMITH ST, SETTING THE SCENE FOR CICADA THROUGHOUT FALL. MORE SPECIFICALLY, ITS FOOT TRAFFIC CULTURE AND THE IMPACT IT HAS HAD ON OUR NIGHTS. CICADA IS JOINED BY MANY OTHER HOT CLUBS IN THE STRIP AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS COMPETITIVE, BUT WHO DOESN’T LIKE A LITTLE COMPETITION? FOOT TRAFFIC CULTURE IS SO UNIQUE, AND WE HAVE SEEN ITS IMPACT HERE PREDOMINANTLY ACROSS ALL THREE EVENTS. WHEN PEOPLE ARE WALKING BY AND THEY HEAR THIS UNMATCHED TURBO, HARD HITTING STYLE OF TECHNO, THEY BECOME INTRIGUED. WHEN NEW FACES COME THROUGH OUR DOORS, WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT IT IS OUR EVENT. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS WHICH RUN OUT OF NEW GUERNICA AND WE FEEL WE PROVIDE SOMETHING SO SPECIAL, UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT AND THAT’S WHY OUR PEOPLE ARE SO AMAZING AND LOYAL - BECAUSE WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY. OUR PEOPLE ARE THE BEST. WE WOULDN’T BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND LOVE THEY HAVE SHOWN US THROUGHOUT THIS CRAZY JOURNEY.

WE REALLY PRIDE OURSELVES ON INCLUSIVITY AND THE FACT THAT EVERYONE IS SO WARM TO ONE ANOTHER. AGAIN, WHAT MAKES THESE EVENTS SPECIAL IS DEFINITELY THE PEOPLE. WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT COMMUNITY WHICH IS SUPPORTIVE OF OUR MOVEMENT AND OF COURSE OUR BRAND. OBVIOUSLY THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR US IS TO HOST A FESTIVAL AND BRING AS MANY SMILES TO YOUR FACES AS POSSIBLE, BUT ONE SMALL STEP AT A TIME. CICADA’S VIBE HAS BEEN INFLUENCED

BY ITS PEOPLE. LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SMITH ST, COLLINGWOOD AT NEW GUERNICA’S RECENTLY RENOVATED VENUE, THE DIVE BAR AND ITS UNTOUCHED WALLS WHICH ARE FLOODED WITH OLD BAND AND NIGHTCLUB POSTERS REALLY SET THE SCENE. A STATE OF LUNACY THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, A SENSE OF ECSTASY AS YOU MOVE FROM ONE ROOM TO ANOTHER. THE 2 ROOMS ARE DIFFERENT IN A SENSE THEY BALANCE EACH OTHER OUT. PROVIDING DIFFERENT MUSIC

“INCLUSIVE GATHERERINGS BEYOND BACKGROUND AND GENRE”

HAVOC, ONE OF THE MOST INSANE ALLROUND LINEUPS WE HAVE HAD TO DATE. WE WELCOMED BACK STÜM POST HIS PITCH MUSIC & ARTS DEBUT. IF YOU SAW HIM AT PITCH, YOU ALREADY KNEW WHAT YOU WERE IN FOR. WITH HIS FAST PACED HEAVY TECHNO AND CONTAGIOUS CHARISMA, STÜM TOOK OVER THE CICADA MAIN STAGE, FILLING IT BEYOND THE BRIM. I REMEMBER HAVOC BEING THE CRAZIEST ON DOOR EXPERIENCE WE HAVE HAD TO DATE. WE HAD TO KEEP ASKING OUR SECURITY TEAM TO HOLD UP THE LINE BECAUSE WE COULDN’T HANDLE THE NUMBER OF YOU LOT POURING THROUGH THE DOOR! WE WERE ALSO JOINED BY ONE OF OUR CO-FOUNDERS LUCAS BOSTON WHO RECENTLY PERFORMED AT SHELTER’S SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE FESTIVALS, DEBUTING HIS NEW TRACK SENSATION UPON ITS RELEASE THAT NIGHT. IN ADDITION, BELLA CLAXTON WHO PLAYED AT THE LET THEM EAT CAKE FESTIVAL OVER NEW YEAR’S DAY. KNOWN FOR HER HARD HITTING HOUSE AND 150 TEKKERZ, THIS DYNAMIC TRIO TOOK OVER CICADA’S MAIN STAGE. ONE OF THE STANDOUTS WAS DENIM’S SET IN THE DIVE BAR, RINSING SOME ICONIC 1990S & 2000S TECHNO, PROVIDING SOME NOSTALGIA WHEN WE ALL HEARD HER FILTHY ‘CRAZY FROG’ EDIT. IF YOU WERE NOT IN ATTENDANCE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO TO OUR INSTAGRAM AND CHECK OUT OUR ‘HAVOC’ HIGHLIGHT REEL. THIS SECTION OF FALL SHOWCASED AN ABUNDANCE OF FUN, I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY ONE GUY WAS CARRYING SOME ROLLER SKATES INTO THE VENUE AND HE LOOKED OVER AT ME, SMILED AND SAID, ‘COULDN’T GET AN UBER SO I SKATED IN’.

PHOTOGRAPHY THROUGH THE LENSE OF CHARLES TRAYNOR HI THERE! MY NAME IS CHARLIE AND MY ROLE IS HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER FOR CICADA. MOST OF MY WORK CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF NIGHTCLUB, EVENT/ PARTY, PORTRAIT AND STREET PHOTOGRAPHY BUT I’VE RECENTLY BEEN VENTURING INTO A MORE EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY AND VISUAL MEDIA AS A WHOLE. I’VE BEEN TAKING PHOTOS FOR THE CICADA TEAM SINCE EUPHORIA, MID FEBRUARY AND I AM STOKED FOR THE FUTURE EVENTS AHEAD. I’VE BEEN TAKING PHOTOS ON AND OFF FOR A DECADE BUT I ONLY STARTED WORKING AS A FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER JUST OVER A YEAR AGO.

HEAD OF PHOTOGRAPHY / CHARLES TRAYNOR

EDITION 03

CICADA

MOST OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE FROM CICADA AND INSTAGRAM WERE SHOT BY ME, AS WELL AS SOME TAKEN BY @ MAISON.BELL AND @FRVSXR. A GOOD 90% OF THE IMAGES ON THE CICADA INSTAGRAM PAGE WERE SHOT ON FILM, USING A COMBINATION OF FILMS SUCH AS PORTRA 400/800, CINESTILL 800T, ULTRAMAX 400 AND LOMOGRAPHY 400/800. WE LOVE THE PUNCHINESS OF FILM, AS ITS RAWNESS IS VERY REMINISCENT OF EARLY 90S RAVE CULTURE. ONE MIGHT FIND USING AN INCONSPICUOUS COMPACT POINT AND SHOOT MUCH EASIER TO CAPTURE MORE CANDID AND INTIMATE MOMENTS THAN A BIG DIGITAL CAMERA. MUCH LIKE OURSELVES, FILM ISN’T PERFECT. ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT OR IN SUCH LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS OF A NIGHTCLUB, CREATES A FUN CHALLENGE FOR ME AS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND ALLOWS FOR A BIT MORE CREATIVE FREEDOM WITH, SUCH AS SELECTING SPECIFIC FILM STOCK FOR A DESIRED LOOK OR GETTING A REALLY SHITTY PHOTO BUT MAKING IT LOOK COOL. IN THE UNOFFICIAL RULEBOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY, INTENTIONALLY UNDEREXPOSING AN IMAGE IS LIKE BURNING WAGYU BEEF. FOR SOME REASON, SOME OF THE COOLEST PHOTOS YOU CAN VIEW ON THE CICADA INSTAGRAM PAGE ARE ONES I “COOKED”, CAPTURED BY MISTAKE OR ENDED UP DIFFERENT TO HOW I INTENDED IT TO LOOK. THESE IMPERFECTIONS REFLECT THE PEOPLE OF DANCE MUSIC COUNTERCULTURE; MISFITS AND RULEBREAKERS GOING AGAINST THE STATUS QUO. THIS VISUAL STYLE WORKS PERFECTLY IN COMBINATION WITH THE VARIETY OF MUSIC GENRES WE EMBRACE AT CICADA. THE ORIGINAL RAVERS, RULEBREAKERS AND RASCALS OF THE UNDERGROUND, WE LOVE TO EMBRACE THE MISFITS.

HI I’M VINCENT! I AM A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIVE WORKING ACROSS FIELDS OF GRAPHIC DESIGN, MUSIC PRODUCTION, EVENTS & SOCIAL MEDIA. WHILST I AM MOSTLY SELF-TAUGHT, I’VE COMPLETED PREVIOUS STUDIES IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN & MUSIC PRODUCTION.

EDITION 03

CICADA

TAKING ON THE ROLE AS GRAPHIC DESIGNER FOR CICADA HAS BEEN REWARDING AS IT MEANT ALL OF MY INTERESTS HAVE MET AT ONE CROSSROAD. FOR CICADA OUR GOAL HAS BEEN TO MOVE AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED BRAND INTO A COHESIVE AND BOLD STATEMENT THAT READS WELL TO A YOUNG AUDIENCE, BORROWING INFLUENCE FROM 90’S-2000’S RAVE CULTURE AND CYBERCORE. THE TRANSITION OF ARTWORK FOR EACH EVENT IS UNIQUE IN ITS OWN STYLE BUT INTENDS TO LIVE WITHIN THE SAME WORLD AS THE PREVIOUS AND FUTURE ARTWORK. SO FAR THE DESIGN PROCEDURE OF CICADA HAS INVOLVED LAYERING TEXTURED/ MANIPULATED SCANS AND SANSERIF FONTS THAT ELUDE AN INDUSTRIAL/DIGITAL AESTHETIC THAT MIRRORS THE ELECTRONIC EDGE THAT CICADA’S EVENTS ARE KNOWN FOR.

CICADA

DISTURBIA SAW US BRING IN SAMMY ALFRED & RICKY NORD FOR A ONE OF A KIND B2B EXPERIENCE. POST SAM’S PITCH MUSIC & ARTS DEBUT ALONG WITH HIS STRAWBERRY FIELDS DEBUT, HE WAS SOMEONE WE DEFINITELY WANTED TO HAVE ON ONE OF OUR LINEUPS. SAM WAS MEANT TO DEBUT BACK AT EUPHORIA IN FEBRUARY, BUT WITH A POSTPONED DATE, HE WAS DOUBLE BOOKED AND WAS UNABLE TO PLAY. RICKY NORD, HOST OF CLUB ELEVATE JOINED US IN THIS B2B, KNOWN FOR HIS ELECTRIC RADIO STATION, ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS, AND A USB FILLED WITH THOSE TRACKS WE ALL LOVE. DISTURBIA ALSO SAW DENIM RETURN FOR A MONSTER CLOSING SET, RINSING SOME OF HER HEAVY BASS TECHNO, THE MOST MEMORABLE SONG FROM HER SET WAS THE INSANE ‘MEET HER AT THE LOVE PARADE - DA HOOL’ REMIX. THE BUILD UP, THE DROP, ALL OF IT WAS SENSATIONAL. A PURE JOY TO LISTEN TO. WE HAD A SPECIAL APPEARANCE FROM A CLOSE FRIEND OF OURS, JIM. CLOSING DUTIES IN THE DIVE BAR, THROWING DOWN SOME OLD SCHOOL TRANCE FOR ALL OUR TRANCE LOVERS. THE DIVE BAR’S NOTORIOUS RED LASER BEAMS RISING FROM THE DJ BOOTH TO THE CEILING, CREATING A CAGE-LIKE ATMOSPHERE AROUND JIM AS HE WENT WAY BACK TO THE LATE 90S AND EARLY 2000S. DISTURBIA ALSO SAW A SHIFT IN OUR DESIGN, WELCOMING @SOLE.PSD TO THE TEAM AS HE BRINGS A FRESH TAKE ON CICAD’S BRAND. WE WANTED EACH EVENT TO FLOW FROM ONE TO ANOTHER, AND I THINK VINCENT (@SOLE.PSD) CAPTURES THIS IN HIS ARTWORK, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO RECOGNISE THIS IN THE EVENTS WHICH TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT WINTER. KUDOS TO DISTURBIA, AS IT BROUGHT TO A CLOSE A SERIES OF EVENTS THAT HAD SUCH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON ALL OF US. DISTURBIA WAS OUR FINAL CHAPTER FOR FALL 22.

SEASON SUMMARY

CO FOUNDER / MAISON BELL

CICADA

WOW. WHAT CAN I SAY? FALL WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST. ACROSS THESE THREE EVENTS WE FEATURED SOME OF THE BEST UP AND COMING DJS IN MELBOURNE, IF NOT AUSTRALIA. FROM STÜM, TO SAMMY ALFRED, TO BELLA CLAXTON, SUKI, LUCAS BOSTON, DENIM, AND RICKY NORD, ALL DOING BITS IN THIS GROWING SCENE. THEIR UNMATCHED ENERGY IS WHAT HAS MADE THESE PAST THREE MONTHS SO MUCH FUN. WE LOOK BACK AT EUPHORIA, WHERE SUKI & OOTS STOLE THE SHOW. TO HAVOC WHERE STÜM PERFORMED POST HIS PITCH MUSIC & ARTS DEBUT… INSANE. ALSO JOINED

BY BELLA CLAXTON & LUCAS BOSTON… INSANE! FINALLY, DISTURBIA WHERE SAMMY ALFRED MADE HIS DEBUT WITH US ALONGSIDE HIS B2B PARTNER RICKY NORD… WOW, THAT WAS SPECIAL. WITH THIS SEASON COMING TO A CLOSE, WE REFLECT ON THE PAST THREE MONTHS AND HOW IT HAS IMPACTED OUR BRAND. THIS SEASON WAS A MASSIVE GROWTH STAGE FOR US. WE SAW CICADA BEGIN TO FLOURISH INTO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. FALL HAS PREPARED CICADA FOR A COLD WINTER TO COME, A NEW CHALLENGE FOR US WHICH SHOULD BE LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN! WE THANK YOU, WITHOUT YOU, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE. IT HAS BEEN SUCH A JOY TO SEE SO MANY OF YOU COME DOWN AND SUPPORT US THROUGH THIS JOURNEY. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND AS ALWAYS WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE. PS. WE ARE BRINGING BACK MEDALLIONS.
