This
spring sees a fluster of excitement on the clubbing scene with the launch a brand
new Sunday dance soiree: Mad Hatters, launching at Merivale's new crown jewel
"Upstairs Beresford".
A new genre of Sydney dance
party sparked by the team at Gusto International (the team who have given you
The Freemasons, Katherine Ellis, Bimbo Jones, Taito Tikaro, Lydia Sanz, and loads
more), Mad Hatters is a European style afternoon T-Dance that will deliver a reinvigorated
sense of sophistication to Sunday sessions throughout the party season.
The
first one is sure to go off like a rocket with Scissor Sisters DJ, Sammy Jo, set
to fight fire with fire alongside a filthy/gorgeous local DJ line-up.
Originally
rocking avant-garde clubs in the city that never sleeps, Sammy Jo has kept savvy
New York party lovers moving from the word "Go!. Since first stepping behind
the wheels of steel in 1997 at legendary NY nightclub Mother, the infamous tour
DJ has developed a sound encompassing a unique blend of disco, electro, and house.
Since then he has spent much of his time touring solo throughout Europe, playing
at massive festivals in cities such as London, Barcelona, Milan and Antwerp. Now
Sammy is returning to Australia to bring you his unique sound, at a one-of-a-kind
party, in one amazing venue.
Breaking up the winter clouds
on Sunday, September 11th at 4pm, Mad Hatters is set to let some sunshine in at
Upstairs Beresford. A sparkling new venue, complete with two balconies, grand
staircase, polished marble bar and cabaret style stage, Upstairs is the quintessential
venue to frame a slightly quirky afternoon of music, drinks and unpredictable
frivolity! Tailored to the needs of any discerning Sydney socialite, Upstairs
is the rabbit hole to a party Sydney dancers have long been seeking.
Mad
Hatters has invited a local DJ line-up that is set to put a smile on your twisted
dial. Sydney's home grown DJ/production duo Oxford Hustlers (topping UK radio
charts with #1 hit "Love U More") are joining the party with their delicious
blend of big room dance floor blazers, along with the queen of hearts Kate Monroe,
who has been stealing ours for more than a decade with her always sexy ensemble
of groovy house. From the other side of the looking-glass, Tommy Kelly brings
his always effervescent love of rhythm and soul, and all of this topped of with
a dollop of fabulous with the unearthly vocal delights of legendary Australian
diva Shauna Jensen.
A small number of first release tickets,
for only $20+bf are available from Thursday 11 August at Moshtix.
