UNDR ctrl has officially added Human Movement to its artist roster for live music and touring representation in Australia. Agent Mary Jenkins will handle the Sydney-based DJ and producer’s domestic bookings.
Human Movement, the alias of Eddy Macdonald, has spent a decade carving out a sound that pulls from UK Garage, Techno, Breaks, and House, often woven through with a Middle Eastern influence that reflects his Lebanese heritage.
That distinct identity has translated into real numbers: over 15 million streams, 200,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and more than 20,000 tickets sold across Australia in the last two years.
His records have landed multiple full rotations on triple j, and his music has drawn support from Bonobo, Sarah Story, DJ Seinfeld, and Roza Terenzi.
His debut album 50/50, released in April 2026 via Gallery Recordings, is his most personal project to date. It incorporates voice memos from family group chats, reflections on the 2024 bombings in Lebanon, and club-ready collaborations with Forge, Soul Wun, and KLP. The album’s title nods to the dual identity he navigates as an Australian-Lebanese artist.
Festival credits include Lost Paradise, Beyond The Valley, Dark Mofo, Rhythm & Alps, and Subsonic, with headline shows sold out across the country.
This kind of trajectory mirrors that of other Australian electronic acts making calculated agency moves in 2026, similar to Dillon Hett’s recent signing with TMRW Music for Australia and New Zealand representation.
UNDR ctrl, founded by Paul Stix in Sydney in 2014, has built one of the most respected electronic music agency rosters in the country, with acts including Bag Raiders, Cassian, 1tbsp, KLP, and Nikki Nair on its books.
The agency’s decade-long track record of developing homegrown electronic talent made it a natural home for Human Movement as he scales his domestic touring operation.
He retains his core management team at Gallery Recordings while maintaining his distribution and label partnership with Virgin Music.
Takeaways
This signing is more than a routine agency deal; it’s a strategic move that positions Human Movement for a serious step up in its Australian touring footprint.
UNDR ctrl doesn’t sign artists quietly; the agency has a track record of turning respected underground names into consistent touring draws.
With the debut album 50/50 fresh in the market and a live reputation already capable of selling out headline shows nationally, the infrastructure is now in place to push him into larger rooms.
Human Movement keeps its management structure intact with Virgin Music and Gallery Recordings. That kind of intentional split, pairing a powerful domestic booking agency with established label and management relationships, suggests a team building deliberately for the long game, not chasing a quick promotional spike.
Can UNDR ctrl’s domestic reach help Human Movement break into festival headliner slots he hasn’t yet occupied? Does 50/50‘s personal and political depth make Human Movement a harder sell to mainstream bookers, or does it make him more compelling?
