DELINQUENT VII ft. Estée Louder

DELINQUENT VII

Featuring DJ Estée Louder + Neo

Saturday 9 November, 2024, 10pm to 3am
(Basement doors open 9:30pm)
284 Smith St Collingwood

DELINQUENT: a subterranean dance rave with a fierce club kid and kink aesthetic. Now a fixture in the abandoned underground bunker at 284 Smith Street Collingwood

Picture this: an intimate, dimly lit space; uniform worship; exhibitionism; outrageous underground club scene styles; nudity. And dirty, filthy, techno music

A dance party for modern people - but with suspiciously queer undertones

Dress code (suggested but not mandatory): latex, naked, jocks, underwear, pups, leather, club kid, drag

sex-positive / clothing optional / techno heavy / gender inclusive

Cloak room available. You can play anywhere (except the loo cubicles) - as long as play is consensual

// Estée Louder

Estée Louder is a Australian-based artist, event producer and dance-floor enthusiast, entertaining audiences for the past decade. She is revered for her ability to create a bespoke party experience depending on the audience, oscillating between dance-floor classics, disco hits and camp club anthems to cool club beats and indie faves 

Establishing her career in Melbourne, Estée Louder has earned her way into some of Australia’s best festivals, events and arts establishments. Significant mentions include Sydney Mardi Gras, Secret Garden Festival, Dark Mofo, Art Gallery of NSW, Pavlova Bar, Melbourne Music Week, Melbourne Fashion Week, Australian Fashion Week and Falls Festival. She has ventured to Europe headlining at ADAM Berlin for Folsom, Tokyo, New York and London and playing various events along the way

When she’s not spinning at premiere club nights in Sydney or Melbourne and festivals (Vivid Live, Falls Festival and Melbourne Music Week, Folsom Europe), weekly you can find her curating tunes at a variety of dining and drinking hotspots to a mixture of clientele, from sophisticated types and professionals to grungy hipsters

// Neo

In a scene that is bursting at the seams with new talent across the electronic music spectrum, it’s often hard for listeners to differentiate what they hear against the buzzing backdrop of artistry in the 21st century. It’s even hard for these artists to cut through, an create something that is genuinely gripping, evocative, and unique. Few possess the handle that Neo does, which is to precisely design sounds that move your body and bend your brain in ways they have not previously done

Neo’s approach to techno is new, and ever evolving. It’s sound and aim is to push the boundaries of what sound can do mentally, emotionally and physically. To conjure something deeper within that bridges to the unknown and yet stays familiar and tasteful 

Having only put out a select few releases on local Naarm labels such as Bomphcast Audio and Connection Verified – Neo was able to gain the imminent international attention early on. Most recently releasing a thumping EP on Berlin based Treatment Records, he’s already managed to shape a sound that is thrilling, emotional, and sonically sublime. With years of experience behind the controls, Neo is one not to miss
