Consider yourself lucky this Friday the 13th, with Melbourne electronica stars Kllo coming in hot for a headline show at Plan B Small Club. They’ll be celebrating ‘Bolide’, the first single from a forthcoming EP set to drop in August – and this track is silky smooth and bound to get your feet shufflin’ tastefully. Have a watch of the brand new ‘Bolide’ video here and prepare for some down-tempo groove on Friday night.
The likes of Major Lazer, Drake and Rihanna have been weaving dancehall elements into mainstream hits for years now, and this party celebrates the sound’s roots with vigour, colour and irresistible rhythm. Dutty Dancing is returning once again to Plan B Small Club with Triple J host Shantan Wantan Ichiban being joined by longtime Sydney selector Nick Toth, host Kween G and more. This month, the night will also be celebrating Afro-Beats on the decks as well as a performance from 101 Doll Squadron!
Rapp Payback offers a free night of hip-hop with no lockout. What more do you want? Resident Cache One has assembled a formidable lineup this time around, being joined by former ‘Love Kings’ selector Radge and his preference for R&B jams. Moreover, Matka – responsible for Tokyo Sing Song soiree ‘Honey’ – will also be performing, as well as Yemisul of IZMZ Magazine. Coris rounds it all up, and this is gonna be a nice evening of turn-ups in the beer garden of The Lord Gladstone.
‘Sunday Walls’ is The Lord Gladstone’s regular Sunday session celebrating live art created right in front of your eyes – their last event culminated in a massive mural of Mike Baird, so you know it’s the real deal. This time around, the event will be hosted by NUMB clothing, who will be collaborating with Ironlak for a limited edition garment released on the day. Elefant Traks’ own Jayteehazard will be spearheading the music duties along with our boy Jordvn, so head along, buy a shirt and eat a fried chicken burger from the pub’s consistent kitchen.
Last time we saw Chingy, we got extremely turnt and someone got shirtless while he played ‘One Call Away’. Needless to say, it was a splendid evening, and we expect nothing less when the lord himself returns to Sydney this Sunday. Performing at Marquee inside Star City, get yourself table service so you can recline and relax while taking in the poetic genius of contemporary classics like ‘Dem Jeans’. If there’s one Sunday night that you should treat yourself, this is it – start thinking of excuses to tell your boss come Monday morning.
