Joel SarakulaAU, GB

Joel Sarakula, a Sydney-born, UK-based producer and artist, crafts 70s-influenced funk, disco and soft-rock, complete with a matching aesthetic of long blonde hair, flared trousers and vintage glasses. Having performed at SXSW, Primavera and Glastonbury, he's earned recognition from New York Times, Rolling Stone and El Pais, drawing comparisons to fellow Australians Parcels and Donny Benet, as well as Benny Sings. Since his 2017 TMW appearance, he has released Love Club (2018), Companionship (2020) and Soft Focus (2024) on Hamburg's Legere Recordings, cementing his place in Europe's soul scene. True to the spirit of 1970s touring artists, Sarakula collaborates with local bands in each territory, keeping his live shows fresh and dynamic.
