Summer Music Series at Mr Mills

Overview

Pegged as a gem for late-night cocktails since its reveal in November 2024, Mr Mills is ramping up its basement bar offering with the launch of a new DJ-led summer music series. Shaped in partnership with Untitled Group and running every Thursday and Friday from Friday, December 5, the program presents a curated rotation of established and rising talent, paired with inventive cocktails and Iberian-inspired dishes.

Opening the series is No Requests Radio, setting the tone with a mix of underground selectors and forward-leaning sounds. Through December, the genre-bending lineup spans Mothafunk and Eva on Thursday, December 11, and a femme-centric Veer East takeover on Friday, December 12.

Rounding out the month, catch Sal and Navi on Thursday, December 18, before Ānanda gets behind the decks on Friday, December 19. Yet the biggest party is yet to come, as New Year's Eve sees Baby Oliv serve up a b2b set with Cabu, combining electronic and house with eclectic baile funk and afro beat sounds.

"Mr Mills has always been about creating magnetic nights that pull people together — where excellent cocktails, great energy and incredible music collide," says Ross Lusted, co-founder of Mr Mills and its upstairs restaurant Marmelo. "This new series with Untitled Group feels like a natural evolution of that vision, turning our cocktail bar into a true home for Melbourne's nightlife this summer."
