FBR ROM x Grassroom presents: CUTS n CUPS offline 001

The first non beta (but kinda still testing stuff) implementation of our event series at Ni Hao bar above Civic Underground. CNC OFFLINE is built on the long-standing love between electronic music and ‘demoscene’ - an underground digital art movement that has played a massive role in why this genre looks the way that it does.

No photos, legit demo-scene visuals, NEXO sound system, curated cocktails and speciality brews.

Welcome to the new era of CNC.

Undocumented, underground, OFFLINE.

The SPACE

Nihao Bar

Nihao bar is situated above the civic hotel. Most days, it's a laid-back, rather fancy bar with very non FBR vibes. We've been their coffee plug for some time now and have been itching to infect their venue with our crowd, our style, and our sound.

Now we've finally got the chance :)

We're transforming their space this Thursday night into the UNDERGROUND APEX. Expect a unique cocktail menu, food and a range of curated coffee.

The CULTURE

Grass Room is a space designed to give up-and-coming DJs and artists a platform to expose their skills to the continuously growing dance scene in Australia.

It is not only a space to record, it is also the start of a dance movement, bringing like-minded people together through local events and music releases.
