Friday 2.

OOZE

Fitzroy

OOZE Collective is back at Fitzroy for a queer bash to revive you in the wake of your May Day escapades. The lineup looks like a damn delight, and this this is a new one on my radar but I foresee a fine night of slutty techno and house music, in a cosy venue, and, I hope, a crowd of sweety-pies.

SKIN CONTACT V

OHM

Over at OHM we have a dark queer party for the goth gays. You can expect some hard-hitting techno with Paula Koski and Maze DK on decks. It's a sex positive party with a live art performance by MAAY, and, apparently, collaborative-toilet-stall—I'm confused, intrigued, titillated, and just a little scared. This may not be one for faint of heart.

Saturday 3.

TANGA X DUMP X New World Dysorder

Fitzroy

Three collectives coming together to deliver you the finest joyous slutty house and techno music that you could hope for, brought to you by some of the hottest trans artists on decks—

Khloe, DIORA and Dirty Daddy Don b2b Majdolen—my god, take me now. It's going to be cute. It's going to be chaotic. It's going to be bloody glorious.

HI BOSSI!

SO36

HI BOSSI!, a party for queers, feminists and friends, is back at SO36 and this time they're bringing you an afterparty for the MARIYBU concert, our local queer hyperpop star. Expect some proper hyperpop bops, Y2K/90s beats, and general diva shit. The dress code is Y2K metallics, holographics, and that kind of hyperpop aesthetic that only someone with ADHD can nail. Also: if you're going to the MARIYBU concert, you won't have to pay a cent.

ANDACCHT - THE FLINTA* BASH by SYMBIOTIKKA

OST

For fans of hard, hypnotic techno and trance music, this might be the night for you. The folks of ANDACCHT/Symbiotikka bring you a FLINTA* lineup including favorite faces like Kiar Oscuro and Carly Zeng. It's a sex positive party (featuring some kinky shows) so dress for the occasion.While it's a FLINTA* special, do expect a mixed crowd, as anyone who follows the rules and dresses for a ANDACCHT/Symbiotikka night is also welcome.

Sunday 4.

Fucktopia: Character Chronicles Release Party

TBA

DJ Fuckoff's fever dream is coming to life in a mysterious destination to give you a taste of life beyond earth—and outside the ring—a multi-sensory, intergalactic, one-time-only spectacular. The lineup is naturally fucking stellar: DJ Fuckoff (obvs), DJ AYA, Zeynep and Hello Sasy. Expect some sick artwork and a strip performance from our host of the night herself.
