Top 10 Melbourne Revelry On this week 06/10/2019
This week isn’t going to seem real. Mostly because of daylight savings. But there’s also a lot of gin.
10) Revolver Sundays pres. Oliver Dollar vs Boogs + Melé
6th October
What: Revolver’s closing out their winter day parties and opening their summer night parties with a Sunday session so spicy you might want to take the Monday off now – the return of Olive Dollar vs Boogs for a match made in heaven in the day time, and UK vibe master MELÉ in the evening. Meet them at the cage, because you’ve got some dancing to do.
Why: The wintry day meets the summer night with…Boogs. Perhaps the fast-approaching unending one-season hellscape of global warming-induced eternal summer won’t be so bad.
9) Solar. Day Party.
12th October
What: Solar Events are beyond thrilled to announce their biggest and most exciting daytime dance rave yet. Taking place within the realms of the Melbourne CBD, they’ll be stepping things up, transforming the space to truly encapsulate the unique Solar theme, including carefully curated production and lighting plus Funktion-One sound. Along with promising a premium space this party will be paired the talents of Laura King, Brian Fantana, Butters, The Slingsby Brothers and more handpicked selectors.
Why: Remember when rebellious music-based events involved either dirty anti-government underground or weird rich-list S&M? Yeah, we don’t either. The constant assault of generic club music has pounded our long-term recall function to a pulp.

8) Eat The Beat: Street Edition
12th October
What: Dance to the sound of Eat The Beat surrounded by the beauty of one of the most iconic places of Melbourne CBD! Queensbridge Square is a pedestrian plaza beside the Yarra River, featuring the postmodern Red Stair amphitheatre and riverside landscaped garden beds. Featured DJs: Matteo Freyrie, Andrea Guadalupi, Etwas and Chriss Mattò.
Why: Because rave culture just wasn’t offensive enough when it was confined to an enclosed space away from the ears of the rest of humanity.

4) Hyper Real 2.0: An Immersive Dining Experience
10th-12th October
What: HYPER REAL 2.0 is a dystopian playground of five experiential installations incorporating performance art with an injection of Chin Chin’s DNA. HYPER REAL 2.0 is all about collective participation where the guests become the experience. Be guided through the full-throttle sensory adventure. Cut through the metal fence and lick the walls, this is a playground of touch, sound, art and taste. Guests will meet at a secret location near Chin Chin and will be guided into the experiential playground of touch, sound, art and Chin Chin food, all wrapped in one. For those who pass by, the Chin Chin laneway will be activated with projections and augmented reality by local Melbourne artists.
Why: We don’t need to point out the gratuitous nature of this event. But at least for once you won’t be licking the wall just because Bowie’s face is on it.

What: Provoking and inspiring, Melbourne International Arts Festival seeks to connect art forms, people and ideas. At the heart of Melbourne’s culture of creativity, it curates unique experiences that bring people together and break new ground in culture and the arts.
Why: There’s nothing more unique than experiencing random explosions of unsolicited live performance art in Melbourne.
