Flow Music Presents: Monkey Safari, Aureal, & Raki

HAVEN PRESENTS: MONKEY SAFARI

Flow Music is proud to present the iconic duo out of Germany, MONKEY SAFARI. Known for bringing lightness to whatever dance floor they are booked for, Monkey Safari will be brining their signature uplifting and sunny vibe to the Haven floors with Aureal and Raki on support duties.

MONKEY SAFARI

Meet Sven and Lars, the dynamic duo and real-life brothers behind Monkey Safari. When they're not swinging from tree to tree in the electronic music jungle, they're making some serious waves with their infectious melodies and groovy beats. Lars moonlights as ‘Borneo’, while Sven takes a spin as ‘DJ Island’ in their solo endeavors, but
when they join forces, they unleash the full power of Monkey Safari.

They've been evolving like nobody's business, perfecting a sound that gets the party started while staying true to their melodious roots. With hits like 'Cranes' and 'Walls' under their belts, they've caught the attention of artists like John Digweed, Kölsch, Guy Gerber, and Josh Wink. They even got to play remix tag with the legendary Moby. When they're not in the studio, they're tearing up the stage at renowned events like Fusion Festival, Time Warp, and Awakenings Festival. These guys know how to bring the heat, and their albums are a testament to that fiery passion for live performances.

Their 2018 album 'Odyssey’ and its subsequent remixes was a star-studded affair featuring the likes of Carl Cox, Hernan
Cattaneo, Guy J, and Tensnake. They kept the good vibes rolling with their third album 'HI' in 2019, serving up some
delicious, sun-soaked tracks perfect for a day at the beach or a night on the dance floor.

In August 2021, they dropped their fourth album, 'Love Will Set U Free', which showcased the purest form of Monkey Safari magic yet. With the world turned upside down, Sven and Lars embraced the chaos and cooked up an album that captured the essence of what makes them truly special. These guys have been busier than a barrel of monkeys, releasing singles on Anjunadeep, scoring a hit with 'Safe' on Joris Voorn's Spectrum imprint, and remixing tunes for artists like Jan Blomqvist, Booka Shade, and Australien super band RÜFÜS DU SOL. They've also buddied up with the legendary Get Physical label, where they unleashed the massively successful 'Body Language Compilation' in 2022.

Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.

Haven positions itself as a one-of-a-kind temporary venue where people can celebrate music and connect with their community before the building is inevitably redeveloped. The entire space is built entirely with salvaged materials; a nod to the space's transient nature. The impermanence of the space becomes part of its power, building urgency and turning each night of unique programming into a rarity.

The venues story is also shaped by the history of the building. An old Woolworths site now being transformed into a venue for culture. 

The installation led by Oliver Buckworth, Katsu Yokoyama and Zelimir Harasty takes guests to a street scene in a densely populated city, where culture, sound and life overlap. There’s traces of Kowloon city, 80’s anime, Wong Kar Wai films and Tokyo listening bar culture.

Tickets are limited and expected to move very quickly. Info on the artists below.

We acknowledge the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this event takes place. We recognise their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community, and we pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present. We also extend that respect to all First Nations people in attendance.
