About this event

Patrick Ryan's Cantrips project brings a genre-fluid DJ set to The Retreat's beer garden. Known for weaving cosmic funk, soul, balearic, and global grooves into sets that prioritise flow and feel, Ryan's selector instincts have earned nods from BBC6 and KCRW. Between Dune Castle (his independent label and studio) and monthly Skylab Radio spots, he's become a fixture in Melbourne's deeper electronic circles.
