Few labels combine their insatiable hunger for exploration with a strong and distinct sonic palette like Melbourne’s Animalia. The Aussie crew brings the best of Naarm and beyond for this marathon takeover, full of psychedelic steppers, atmospheric club wormholes, and other unknown frontiers. From heady forest dub to gently sparkling rhythmic ear candy, Lot Radio regular Simisea is on opening duties to guide us into the sonic wilderness. The smoke clears at 1AM for a live nocturnal dreamscape from Louis Marlo, founder of fellow Naarm-based label Felt Sense Recordings. And London DJ/producer darling Mia Koden blends the best of UK dubstep, drum ‘n bass, and soundsystem music beneath dark canopies of bass during the late night hours. Melbourne-based Moopie takes over in the early morning, guiding the sun above the horizon with a steady supply of hypnotic and driving floor-fillers, while renowned sonic philosopher Fred P fills the remainder of the AM hours from a deep bag of jazzy and uplifting house selections. Finally, label boss and Nowadays alum Kia takes the reins for the home stretch, building and deconstructing the pulsing and surreal rhythmic landscapes that put her and Animalia on the map. /// RSVP is $10 before 11pm and $15 before midnight. An RSVP is good for one person. If you're bringing friends, please have them RSVP here as well. We stop taking RSVPs at 6pm on the day of the party. In order to receive the RSVP discount, you must be at the ticket desk by the cutoff time and not just in line. It's wise to arrive early to make sure you're not standing in line when the time comes. An RSVP does not guarantee entry. Sometimes parties do sell out, so if you want to be sure you'll get in, it's best to grab a ticket in advance. /// Entry is at the discretion of our door staff. Online purchases are limited to four tickets maximum per person. If tickets are sold out here, we always hold a good amount at the door. We will do our best to admit those without tickets but entrance is not guaranteed. Nonstop tickets are divided by entry time. You must arrive during the hours listed on your ticket. For example, if you buy a "10PM–4AM" ticket, you must get here between 10pm and 4am. After you've arrived during your designated time window, you can stay as long as you'd like, so long as you abide by our safer space policy (more on that below). You're also welcome to come and go as you please. Re-entry is based on capacity and is not guaranteed. Nonstop attendees can attend Mister Sunday in the backyard starting at 3 pm without buying a separate ticket, and Nonstop re-entry is honored during Mister Sunday. Violence, non-consensual touching, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, ageist or other discriminatory language, and leering are not allowed within our walls or in our back yard. If someone says or does something to make you feel uncomfortable while you’re here, let us know. /// Accessibility: The wheelchair entrance to our indoor space is in the driveway, which is the access point most commonly used to enter Nowadays. During parties the driveway gate is locked, so please ask staff at the street entrance for assistance with entry. All of our bathrooms are gender-neutral. There is one accessible stall indoors. Just ask any Nowadays staff member for the key, and they can show you the way. During parties, seating is available both on and off the dance floor. While we don’t have a dedicated quiet space indoors during parties, the booths next to coat check are a little quieter, and the deck and back yard a little quieter than that. Most nighttime parties include the use of strobe lights and water based haze.
