Liam Palmer & Elliot
Schooling APPETITE AS INSTINCT
Something sits underneath the project that doesn’t need to be explained out loud. It’s not branding, and it’s not strategy. It’s familiarity, built over years, sha- ping the way decisions are made before they are even spoken. What Elliot & Liam have built doesn’t feel like something assembled piece by piece, but something that has grown in parallel with who they already were.
That sense of continuity runs through everything. From early parties to interna- tional shows, from studio sessions to festival fields, the project holds together because the foundation hasn’t shifted. Expansion hasn’t required reinvention. It has simply extended the same instinct into larger spaces, with more people inside it.
At the center of that is a relationship that predates everything else. Before the label, before the parties, before the recognition, there was time. Time spent next to each other long enough for the creative process to become second nature, for communication to reduce itself to something almost unspoken.
“For sure, we’ve known each other for a very long time, maybe 15 years now, I think… our close friendship has definitely informed the creative project of us as artists. I think it’s allowed us to be free, expressive, and super comfortable with each other, whether that’s in the studio or on stage together. I think we’re lucky being best mates, it’s definitely helped with trust and keeping tension low, haha.”
That same ease extends into Appeti- te, which has gradually moved beyond its original format without losing its internal logic. What began as a party now exists across different forms, but the intention hasn’t fractured. It conti- nues to revolve around people, around gathering, around the idea that music is only one part of something wider.
“It’s definitely hard to pinpoint just one thing, as you said, Appetite has grown into so many things, but I think at the heart of it all is just creating a platform and community that allows people to come together. We have never been
too serious and always work with li- ke-minded friends who are good peo- ple at the core. We like to think of it as a brand that includes people from all walks of life and cultures through the love of good music and art. I think we have, and always will, keep our core values intact as we scale, as the peo- ple and choices we make are all han- dpicked. As much as we are growing on an international scale now, the people we collaborate with in other cities are all coming from a similar ethos to us, young people pushing forward-thin- king music and concepts built with love.”
