HART_SPACE EP.05: Caity Watson and Shell Shock
Episode notes
Fresh off playing HART's first birthday, Shell Shock and Caity Watson (150 BPM, 150% Live) join Glenergy for a full-send debrief on Melbourne's underground dance scene. Two icons, one shared record box, a decade of friendship — and a conversation that goes way beyond the decks.
They get into it: the neurodivergent cue-point hack that changed how Caity mixes forever, the fluro lanyard "consent angel" system keeping dance floors safe, and the quiet gatekeeping that still shapes who gets booked and who gets left out. Real talk on imposter syndrome, ableism in gig culture, and why community — not competition — is what actually keeps queer nightlife alive.
Disco soul in a techno body. Doof culture at its finest. Dance floors that hold you exactly as you are.
HART_SPACE is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation — Traditional Custodians whose sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
Born from the dancefloor, for queer community — HART_SPACE is hosted by Glenergy, bringing you long-form conversations with queer creatives, thinkers and trailblazers. Each episode dives into their practice, their journey, and the power of spaces where we can all truly belong.
Because queer stories beat louder than the bassline.
