FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11

GIRLS @ HUDSON BALLROOM
WHO: FLEXMAMI, MOWGLI MAY, ANISSA, EBONY BOADU, YEMISUL
COST: $11 RIGHT HERE // MORE INFO HERE

This is a nice time! Rap, R&B and grime anthems aplenty when GIRLS bless the newly-named Hudson Ballroom, with residents Yemisul, Ebony Boadu & Anissa stepping behind the decks alongside LWA investigative journliast FlexMami and the pink-haired wonder Mowgli May. Kicking off from 11pm, prepare for four hours of power into the morning because these parties get super rambunctious towards midnight and don’t let up. This is GIRLS’ last party of 2016, so celebrate the year with the Sydney crew by yelling ‘My Neck, My Back’ really loudly.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12

MADE SYDNEY AFTERPARTY @ CLUB 77
WHO: SETTINGS DJ’S, ELLA MAXIMILLION, AUX GOD
COST: $10 ON THE DOOR // MORE INFO HERE

MADE will be bringing the best in fashion and skate to Sydney this weekend at Carriageworks, and the celebrations are going to kick on after Saturday’s showings at the infamous Club 77 in Darlo. DJ and designer Ella Maximillion – the most versatile in the game – will be dropping heaters alongside the lads from SETTINGS. Did you attend SETTINGS first party a few weeks back? It was truly fucked up in the best way possible, I heard a lot of 808s and I loved it. AUX God – best DJ name ever – will be rounding it all up.

SWISS DANK: FUTURE/FREEBANDZ EDITION @ THE CLIFF DIVE
WHO: THE RUDY, XANNY DADDY, $EAN’DON, MA$E, MOWGLI MAY
COST: $5 ON THE DOOR // MORE INFO HERE

Oh yeah! It’s about time that we got a party celebrating Future – after all, Dirty Sprite 2 is bangin’ and he was also once engaged to Ciara, living out all of our dreams after seeing the video to ‘Ride’. If you head to The Cliff Dive this Saturday night for Swiss Dank, expect to hear all of Future’s codeine-covered hits as well as more from his Freebandz imprint – and given that Metro Boomin will be touring Australia in January as part of FOMO festival, you can warm your vocal chords here. Bonus: Swiss Dank selector $ean’Don will be celebrating his birthday here, go ahead and give him a hug.

BARNEY COOLS 2ND BIRTHDAY @ MANLY PAVILION
WHO: TOUCH SENSITIVE, DU TONC, POOLCLVB, BARNEY COOLS DJ’S
COST: $40 ON THE DOOR // MORE INFO HERE

Barney Cools clothing is every, which is why we’re not surprised that they’re celebrating a milestone this weekend: 2 years in the game! They’ll be taking over Manly Pavilion from the late afternoon with Touch Sensitive performing a live set, alongside Du Tong and Barney Cools favourite Poolclvb. Seeing as it’s their birthday, the in-house DJs will be spinning some tunes, too! The pre-sales for this one have sold out, but there’ll be handful of tickets on the door at $40 a pop – the demand is high, the hype is real, head down there and have a seaside beverage.

RAPP PAYBACK @ THE LORD GLADSTONE
WHO: CACHE ONE, BATESY, FLEXMAMI, YEMISUL, TOMMY CODLING
COST: FREE // MORE INFO HERE

‘Free entry’ and ‘no lockout’ may be the four sweetest words in the English language – and they’ll both come into fruition at Rapp Payback this Saturday night. You know the drill, rap bangers in The Lord Gladstone’s main room, which turns the humble pub into a dancefloor mess on the weekends. FlexMami is back doing it once more, with resident Cache One also performing alongside local GOATs. Do you want us to say ‘free entry’ again?
