Welcome to The Friday Mix Up
Your new Friday night destination for quality, danceable tunes and pure good vibes.
We’ve transformed the old TAB space into an intimate new boogie room. It’s still in its early stages, but trust us—this space is built for feeling the music. Think deep disco, funk, house, and those rarely heard, unique remixes you’ll be hunting down the next day.
Taking the decks for our very first edition is the incredible MADSPiN BABY.
Greek-Australian. Born in Melbourne. Shaped by warehouse dancefloors, refined in Byron Bay, and now creating on the Mid North Coast of NSW.
"House music isn't just what I play—it's the culture that has shaped my life for more than three decades."
8:30pm till late Free Entry
