The University of Adelaide, the Sia Furler Institute, Creative Revolutionaries, RCC and local artist Dave Court present the first AGITATE session with Motez and Peter Drew hosted by Patrick Martin and Caitlin Ellen Moore.

Motez’ distinctive sound pushes the boundaries of regular house music; from when he was making wholesome, wall-to-wall club cuts and rocking festival stages to current day. Underpinned by a knowledge of classical piano and influences from the 90’s, his music showcases the diversity of his taste and style.

He has won six Hype Machine #1s and an ARIA Gold single alongside writing official remixes for Disclosure, Sam Smith, Goldlink and Ellie Goulding. Motez has joined Diplo & Friends, Beats1 Radio and Triple J 'Mix Up Exclusives' to lay down his favourite selections.

Peter Drew was born in 1983 in Adelaide. He holds a Master’s Degree from the Glasgow School of Art. His artworks have been exhibited at the Art Gallery of South Australia and the National Gallery of Australia, though his most prominent work is installed on city streets.

Drew says “I like to exhibit my art on the street because public space is a great equaliser, and it’s also an ancient forum. When you address the public through the street you’re entering into a tradition that emphasises our fundamental freedom of expression, over the value of property... I enjoy examining our collective identities and my aim is always to emphasize the connections that bind up, rather than the fractures that divide us.”

Caitlin Ellen Moore is a writer, activist, and freelance producer. Most of the time, you can find her at ActNow Theatre as their Marketing and Development Coordinator. At other times you can find her writing for This Is Radelaide, co-hosting and producing Radio Adelaide’s queer show Pride and Prejudice, quietly launching podcasts under Wickedly Good Productions, or dabbling in spoken word poetry.

Patrick Martin is a journalist with ABC Adelaide. He’s passionate about arts, regional Australia and politics. Based in Port Pirie, he's has covered a variety of issues impacting regional Australia and SA's future.

Recorded at The Cloisters, University of Adelaide, on 20 February 2020.
