Charlie Villas is one of Sydney’s favourite party starters and in-demand DJs. A vibe maker and dance floor legend; a master of combining styles in unexpected ways. Think disco, Prince, Paradise Garage, Glitterbox with New York 80s boogie, all mixed with global heat and memories from the best house party you’ve ever been to. This is the spirit of Charlie Villas.

Born in the Philippines, now residing in Darug and Gundungurra country / the Blue Mountains, Charlie is a staple at all the best parties. Internationally, she has played sets at The Glory in London, at Paris’ favourite late-night venue Le Comptoir Général, in Tokyo in the city’s legendary women’s only bar Goldfinger and in Bali at the internationally renowned beachfront venue, Karma Beach Club. At home in Australia she can regularly be seen behind the decks at Heaps Gay, Honcho Disko and Loose Ends. In 2022, she appeared at Summer Camp Festival in Sydney, Australia’s first touring Pride festival, where she played on the mainstage alongside Years & Years, Big Freedia, Ladyhawke, Sophie Ellis Bextor, The Veronicas, Cubsport and more.

Charlie Villas’ deep knowledge and love of music from all around the world has seen her work as a music consultant for film and television working at Universal Music Publishing and for retail and hospitality giants at SBA Music, and curating soundtracks for luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co as well as Adidas, Aesop, Glenfiddich, Google, Johnnie Walker, Screen Australia and Uniqlo.

Charlie is also an event producer and co- head chef of Club Sandwich, which she curates alongside Melbourne DJ HipHopHoe, Club Sandwich is a queer strip club / performance space celebrating the creative power and resilience of the QTIPOC community.

Charlie has brought her versatility and infectious energy behind the decks to major events like like Dark Mofo, Darwin Festival, Laneway, Splendour In The Grass, Summer Camp Festival, Sydney Festival, Vivid Sydney and Sydney World Pride and headlined the official Party and Laneway events during the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2024.

Although her biggest love is disco, Charlie Villas combines genres in unexpected ways, going from soul, boogie, RnB, dancehall, into house, global vibes, pop and back again. Sounds like the best party you’ve ever been to.
