Club 4A 2019

Overview

Haymarket's 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art is throwing an all-night electronica party this month in the form of its second annual Club 4A. It'll take over Chinatown's Dynasty Karaoke on Saturday, May 25 from 7pm–3am.

The party has been curated by Sydney artists Mathew Spisbah and Rainbow Chan, and features a lineup of musical guests alongside audiovisual artists. The headline act is Berlin-based electronic musician Rui Ho, who hails from Shanghai and is making her Australian debut. Rui Ho's music fuses traditional Chinese and modern club influences.

Rainbow Chan will also take the stage in collaboration with Sydney electronic composer Marcus Whale, and artists Del Lumanta and Milkffish will team up, too — their set will include live electronic improvisations using ambient sounds and Milkffish's signature Filipino folkloric instruments. More Filipino influence will be found in producer Yumgod's performance, which will include his signature deconstructed hip hop footwork.

On the visual art side of things, Hong Kong artist Harry Chan has created new LED works for the event. And video artists Kynan Tan and Craig Stubbs-Race will present animated pieces throughout the night.

Tickets are set at a very reasonable $20 and first release is already sold out, so nab 'em while you still can.

Club 4A will run from 7pm–3am.
