Haven Presents: Priori, Kia, Castla, DJ Ingrid, Roomtemp

Saturday 10 January 2026, 5:00 am·Byron Bay

Presented byHaven

After months of incredible bookings in 2025, we have one of our most compelling nights yet. Haven is proud to present: Priori, Kia and Castla Running two of the most exciting labels; Priori (Naff Recordings) and Kia (Animalia), deliver best-in-class performances as key names of their generation. Our resident Castla will be supporting with a host of the newest top-calibre releases from all different corners of the world. Haven positions itself as a one-of-a-kind temporary venue where people can celebrate music and connect with their community before the building is inevitably redeveloped. The entire space is built entirely with salvaged materials; a nod to the space's transient nature. The impermanence of the space becomes part of its power, building urgency and turning each night of unique programming into a rarity. The venues story is also shaped by the history of the building. An old Woolworths site now being transformed into a venue for culture. The installation led by Oliver Buckworth, Katsu Yokoyama and Zelimir Harasty takes guests to a street scene in a densely populated city, where culture, sound and life overlap. There’s traces of Kowloon city, 80’s anime, Wong Kar Wai films and Tokyo listening bar culture. Tickets are limited and expected to move very quickly. Info on the artists below. We acknowledge the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this event takes place. We recognise their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community, and we pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present. We also extend that respect to all First Nations people in attendanc PRIORI (CAN) Under his Priori moniker, Québecois musician Francis Latreille has become a key figure in underground techno as a producer, DJ, and live artist. With four albums, numerous EPs, and collaborative projects, he's built a richly detailed world that blurs the line between the organic and the synthetic, the real and the imagined. His music weaves intricate rhythms, crystalline melodies, and textured soundscapes into something both evocative and transportive. Beyond his own releases, Priori is an accomplished mixing engineer who has collaborated with artists like James K, Bambii, Maara, and Roza Terenzi. As co-founder of NAFF Recordings and the Jump Source studio, he continues to shape the evolution of electronic music in Canada and beyond.

The DJ and curator wields atmospheric and psychedelic sounds that produce entire pulsating worlds through the speakers and between global connections. As the label boss of Animalia and Cirrus, she is a Naarm/Melbourne local who’s one of the key influences driving organic, kaleidoscopic shades of electronic music around the world. Behind the decks, she’s a master of playing to her surroundings, creating a context-driven connection of time, space, and sound. Kia can carry audiences through sunsets, sunrises, and both dark or sun-drenched moments. Animalia, as a label, mix, and events series, is an ever-growing platform for local and international talent. It’s proof that Kia has a knack for connecting worlds through her sets but also in real life. Her decidedly community-driven approach to her work has created a global network of forward-thinking producers. The platform influences spheres of the industry as much as it feeds and pushes her own musicality. Her sets unfold like diary entries, marked by creative honesty and a sense of catharsis. Kia’s curiosity fuels the curation of Animalia, shapes her distinctive musical style, and empowers her to throw curveballs into the mix with instinct, confidence, and energy. Her sound is simultaneously futuristic, versatile, and experimental, qualities that have earned her well-respected international recognition in just a few short years. Her set from Sustain Release Year 8 was named Resident Advisor’s Mix of the Day, while her listening mix on the Dekmantel Podcast received Mix of the Year. She wrapped up 2024 in Mixmag’s top “Emerging DJs” and DJ Mag’s “Ones to Watch” list. In 2025, she continues her residency at the iconic Berlin party, Climate of Fear, and begins a new residency at Nowadays Club in New York.
