About the artist
WERMS is the new electronic project from Melbourne DJ/producer Jack Shoe, moving between acid house, electro and big beat while pulling in more modern corners of house and club music. Shaped by ’90s rave culture, the late 2000s bloghouse and electro era and the sounds of today’s dancefloors, WERMS digs across decades while keeping one foot in Jack’s indie past, with remixes and edits providing a few nods to his former band life.
“I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.” James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem
Jack spent 15 years as a founding member and guitarist of Indie-Dance band Northeast Party House, but his history behind the decks goes back to the indie-sleaze days of 2007. DJing both solo and as part of NPH DJs, he’s played festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Beyond The Valley and Big Day Out, and shared bills with The Presets, CC:DISCO!, Boys Noize and more.
Now swapping the guitar for CDJs, WERMS brings those years spent in bands, clubs and festivals into something new, twisted, raw and euphoric, crawling up from the underground.
