Cake Wines Vivid Parties

Overview

Sydney wine legends Cake Wines don't just make bloody good wine — they know how to party. If you've been to one of their Lovebombs secret rooftop/warehouse parties, you'll know they throw a quality party with quality tunes and quality tipples. Reason enough for a party in itself, Cake recently opened their own cellar door in Redfern, located in a renovated warehouse on Eveleigh Street (and it is slick). So for this year's Vivid festival, they're not doing things half-assed.

There are three Cake parties you should be locking into your diary for this year's Vivid, two at the cellar door and one in a 'left of centre' secret location. First things first, let's organise your cellar door dates. First, it's The Posse, kicking off a three-show residency. New signings to Plastic World, this raw funk/disco/Detroit and Chicago house-inspired outfit includes Andrew Elston (Physique/Toni Toni Lee/Catcall), Ross Ferraro and Jarrol Renaud (AKA The Goods), Michael Di Francesco (Touch Sensitive/Van She) and NZ jazz keys prodigy Andrew Bruce. Yowzer.

Next, it's The House of Who on June 5, with longtime Cake collaborator Mike Who and friends. This Sunday session will see Mike alongside NZ producer Julien Dyne and Sydney outfit The Goods, Expect "a mixed bag of soul, disco, boogie, house, latin, african and Brazilian vibes," according to the crew.

Finally, Sydney DJ collective Lovebombs has once again teamed up with Cake Wines for one huge secret party on June 11. These parties are always a riot— one took over the Holiday Inn rooftop at sunset. You'll get the directions on the day.
