Morning People Sydney Launch

Overview

Daytime raves are taking over our feeds this year. Aotearoa-born Morning People have been riding this wave long before it hit the mainstream — founders Vanessa Scott and Jamie Newman have been on alcohol-free morning parties across New Zealand for almost a decade. Partiers get the full rave experience, except they swap out hangovers and food deliveries for a shot of euphoria before a full day ahead.

In November, Morning People is landing in Sydney for the first time. Head to Oxford Art Factory at the crack of dawn, where DJ powerhouse and drag diva Jimi the Kween will be on the decks. Jimi has pumped up crowds at major party cities like New York, Berlin, Ibiza and Tokyo — if anything can jolt you awake, it's her signature blend of house and high-energy dance anthems.

If the lights and bass don't wake you up, the complimentary fresh-plunged coffee will. Help yourself to some fruit and non-alcoholic drinks on the way out, so you'll be glowing (and smugly energised) once you hit your desk.
