Opening Night Party With Soju Gang + Friends

Now or Never launches into existence at Max Watts in a free all-night party led by some of the most exciting First Nations artists and DJs of the moment. Curated by the inimitable Soju Gang, a Melbourne/Narrm-based DJ and party catalyst, this lineup is a rare gathering of exceptional local talent, each with their own distinctive sonic identity.

Move to the sounds of the underground as Gunnai/Kurnai and Yorta Yorta artist DJ PGZ takes over, melding hard techno with dark, sparse, and bass-heavy drum syncopations, exploring the works of contemporary Black and Brown producers.

Prepare to be wooed by the sounds of SOVBLKPSSY, a Ngarrindjeri/Ramindjeri and Walkandi Woni musician and DJ, as she seamlessly blends global club music with her unique style of layering sounds, rhythms, and textures.

Elsewhere on the club music spectrum is Mookito, whose passion for the rhythmic beauty of Latin music culminates in a fusion of Latin techno and dembow, radiating pure bliss.

And of course, don’t miss the dynamic presence of Soju Gang herself, who will jump behind the decks as well as playing host. Renowned for her crowd-pleasing and eclectic sets, Soju Gang’s unwavering commitment to connecting with her audience makes her performances unmissable.
