Overview
The Ivy is celebrating all things house music with its new weekly club night Above. The late-night dance party is taking over the main room of the venue every Saturday from 9pm–4am, pulling together lineups showcasing the country and the world's premier house DJs.
In charge of booking these sonic curators is a pair of dance music-loving teams, Finely Tuned (Lost Paradise, Lost Sundays) and One Hit (Boogie, Defected, Glitterbox). For Saturday, May 13's edition of Above, they've pulled together an impressive roster of DJs to take you through the night, headlined by two of Australia's most renowned producers.
Viral dance floor-fillers Shouse will be heading up the night, bringing all of the energy of their global hit song 'Love Tonight' as well as their recent collaboration with David Guetta to the Ivy. Joining them will be four-time ARIA-nominee and former triple j presenter KLP, with Dan Azzo, Utopic Crew and Bella Backe rounding out the lineup.
Taking inspiration from clubs like Printworks in London, the Ivy has placed significant importance on the visuals for Above. Accomplished local creative collective Babekühl has been put in charge of creating larger-than-life visual accompaniments to guide you through the night's tunes.
"We view nightclubs as enormous, immersive, audiovisual experiences, a culture that will one day be immortalised in modern art galleries," said Babekühl's Pat Santamaria. "Each season, we'll collaborate with an array of creatives from our community, transforming Above's lighting design into a bespoke and ever-evolving showcase of world-class visual arts and music."
Early bird tickets are available for $26.25, before they rise to $31.60 once that first release sells out.
