Made in the Shade January

A summer of Darebizan sunsets await with Made in the Shade returning to The Thorn’s tropical beer garden oasis for its second run of open-air dance parties.

Our second offering combines an all star cast of local favourites and a very special guest from interstate!

~ Cousin

Fresh off the back of a stint in the US and Canada, the Moonshoe boss and recent NAFF signing will join us as the sun sets over Thornbury to dazzle our eardrums with his deeply dubwise body music.

~ Bex, Hannah D & Lane Split 

A back to back (to back!) like no other. Ready yourselves for the convergence of three of the friendliest deej’s in town and some legitimate lords of the late night blend! Between them these legends are behind collectives like Handle, Spincycle and Send / Return. Twisted rhythms and deep space delivered with tech house sensibility and 3 big smiles. 

~ DJ Possum

Welcoming back our very own MITS alumni and favourite smooth moving marsupial DJ Possum for a degustation of summer sounds from across the globe. Refreshing rhythms packed full of good time nostalgia. 

~ Sophuli

Host of the wonderfully tranquil Dream Therapy on Skylab, Sophuli makes her debut in the courtyard with an incredible ear for all things blissful and balearic!

~ Project 95

The pair of 90s house enthusiasts are back to close out the night with a bang. Big moods, even bigger grooves and sax for days.

Melbourne Deepcast and Best Effort recognize the traditional owners of the land on which this event takes place, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin nation, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty never ceded, always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

The Thorn 3071 is wheelchair accessible. There will be no strobes used during the event.
