Sydney's favourite incidental fitness party in the dark is taking things to the next level this month, with seven guest playlisters curating your pitch-black tunes for No Lights No Lycra this May. The team have announced their Guest Selector Month lineup for this May, with some of Australia's best established and new talent handcrafting tried and tested d-floor playlists for the night.

In case you've never been to a NLNL before, it's a weekly dance party started in Melbourne; just an hour long and entirely in the dark. Expect plenty of '90s dance, '70s disco and '80s R&B vibes with this lineup; we're talking upcoming Splendour headliners Flight Facilities alongside fellow Splendour benders like 19-year-old Adelaidean rapper Tkay Maidza, Sydney's electropop-meets-R&B wunderkind Elizabeth Rose and Melbourne's dream popsters Alpine. Also on the bill for May is Astral People signing Roland Tings, and Melburnian eight-piece percussive groove outfit No Zu. That makes five, with two more yet to be announced.

Each will create an exclusive mix for NLNL, similar to previous guest playlists like The Presets' Carriageworks set, one you'll be able to dance your butts off to at the event's weekly lose-your-inhibitions dance party.

No Lights No Lycra runs in Sydney from 7.30pm – 8.30pm on Mondays at Bondi Pavilion, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Bondi and on Thursdays at Main Hall Newtown, 189 Church Street, Newtown. It's just $5 on the door, with $2 for cloaking. Check the Facebook page for updates and specific artist playlist dates, coming soon.
