Southend’s story reads like a cult film: chance meetings, underground gigs, chart-topping anthems, and a legacy etched into Australia’s electronic DNA. Born amid the chaos of Sydney’s early ’90s rave scene, they carved their name into the country’s dance music history with raw synths, fierce beats, and a refusal to follow the rules.
Their breakout single The Winner Is… hit the ARIA Top 10, while Take Me Up became a rave anthem—remixed by Nik Fish, Binary Finary, and BeXta. Their soundtracks lit up dancefloors and festival fields. Ranked #27 in Rolling Stone’s 50 Greatest Australian Electronic Acts of All Time (2025), Southend’s influence spans decades, with production credits including Hoodoo Gurus, Kim Salmon, Bronski Beat, and The Whitlams.
In 2024, Southend launched Feel So Good (Vinyl to Digital 1992–1994)—the first in a trilogy of retrospective releases. Now back in the studio, they’re crafting new music slated for release later this year. Still loud. Still defiant. Still Southend.
