NOVA Entertainment has announced the return of Nova Nation, Australia’s home of dance hits and club classics from the world’s biggest DJs, launching Friday, November 3.
Nova Nation – a new national streaming station available online, through smart speakers or via the Nova Player – Player, is curated to fine-tune your focus, level up your workout and energise you for the day or night ahead. It will also be available to listeners in Brisbane on DAB+.
Having been a mainstay on the digital radio dial from 2009 to 2013, the Nova Nation brand returned to the airwaves in recent months, broadcasting on the Nova Network every Friday from 10 pm to 12 am and Saturdays from 6 pm to 12 am, reclaiming its status as the ultimate weekend party starter. As the streaming station launches, Nova Network listeners will continue to hear the Friday and Saturday night mixes simulcast across both streaming and FM stations.
To celebrate the new launch, a special Nova’s Red Room will bring the Nova Nation vibes to a live audience on November 9 at The Venue Alexandria, Sydney’s leading major event venue. Nova Nation Presents Joel Corry Live In Nova’s Red Room will see both Joel Corry and TOPIC returning to Nova’s Red Room for their second set each, with Jolyon Petch debuting on the Nova’s Red Room stage for a much-anticipated welcome set.
Joel Corry has become one of the world’s most prolific dance hit-makers since the release of his 2019 break-through single Sorry. The multi-award-winning producer was one of three producers, along with TOPIC and SGT Slick, who took part in 12-week residencies as part of the Nova Nation main network launch. The DJ’s alliance with Nova Nation will continue on the streaming station with a monthly hour-long mix for Friday listeners.
Brendan Taylor, group program director of the Nova Network said: “Nova Nation is set to become a destination for dance music fans in Australia looking to hear the best dance hits & club classic as well as stacked list of local and international guest DJs. To have Joel Corry join us on the station, but also in Nova’s Red Room for this launch, is a testament to what Nova Nation will bring to dance music fans across the country.”
As well as Friday and Saturday night residencies, listeners can tune in 6am to 7am Mon to Fri (AEDT) for the High NRG Throwback Workout hour to get the perfect playlist for their morning exercise. Every day, 12pm to 1pm (AEDT) listeners can also hear the world’s biggest DJs in the mix, dropping in to share their latest curations.
