One Day Sundays
Beats, ball and beers at Sydney's much-loved monthly block party.
Overview
Australian hip hop has come a long way over recent years, making an increasingly bigger name for itself locally and internationally and moving away from the stereotypical idea that hip hop is all R'n'B, booty shakers and rich people talking about their problems. This is especially reflected in Sydney's inner west, the place of Aus hip hop's humble beginnings and home for many of the country's biggest acts.
And with this comes One Day Sundays, a monthly celebration of all things hip hop at the Vic in Enmore. On the last Sunday of every month, hip hop collective One Day Crew take over the decks. What starts out as a chilled afternoon of basketball, live graff art and slow-cooked spit transforms come sunset into an evening scene characterised by a heaving dancefloor (and then some more slow-cooked spit).
Following on from a crazy Australia Day special last month, ODS returns on February 23 with another killer lineup, led this time by Melbourne’s Mat Cant (360), as well as One Day regulars Adit, Raph and Joyride. Celebrating One Day Sundays' first birthday (as well as our final weekend of Sydney summer), the ODS February edition is sure to be something special. The party kicks off at 1pm and goes until you're coming up with excuses for a Monday sickie.
