PALACE X PLANET TRIP OPEN AIR PARTY

In homage to the roots of dance music next month Palace & long time friends Planet Trip team up for all nighter open air affair at The Lass O'Gowrie Hotel on the 10th June. We've curated an extra special lineup this time round with seasoned tastemakers Mike Who and Lauren Hansom doing an extended b2b set alongside Claire O'Brien, Jun Wan & Lewis.

LAUREN HANSOM

Australian native Lauren Hansom has been bending musical rules with oddball selections weaving through genres and eras across the continents.Her unprecedented approach to narrating dance floors has brought her quickly into the club and festival circuit making appearances at Dekmantel’s Lente Kabinet, Kala Festival, De School, Salon des Amateurs, Sugar Mountain x Boiler Room and Opium Club to name just a few.

‍For Lauren, music is endless and there are no boundaries when it comes to her exploration of it.

MIKE WHO

Knee deep in the DJ game from his late teens, Mikey has always looked beyond trends to carve out his lane as a DJ and radio host. A staple ingredient at Sydney’s most loved parties for over a decade, he’s consistently checked by both heads and punters alike as one of cities most diverse and respected selectors.

His sets cover ground, joining the dots between slept on dollar bin jams, left field rarities and deep foundation cuts. Mike’s range lets him take dance floors in any direction he’s feeling, be it slow burning reggae, digi and lovers cuts, street soul, hip hop or unearthed tropical melters all the way through to obscure boogie, disco & the soulful side of house music.

5 years on air as a former FBi radio Sunset host, a run co-hosting the Worldwide FM Sydney specials and more recently on the monthly Planet Trip Radio show on Skylab has seen Mike’s taste broadcasted far and wide. He’s also turned out club nights for interstate crews - A Love Supreme, Club Coco and Endless Grooves.

A go to for guests that roll our way Mike has warmed the room for tastemakers like Raphael Top Secret, Hugo Mendez and John Gomez through to Alex Nut, Jay Daniel, JNETT, Bradley Zero, and Pender Street Steppers with tonnes more to heavy effect. Outside of the club he’s moved bodies at festivals Subsonic, Lost Paradise, Splendour in The Grass, Outside In and Freedom Time.

Over the last two years he has shifted his energy to operating independent label Planet Trip Records, curating a steady stream of heavy releases on the physical and digi tip that champion sounds from friends and extended crew around the world.

With his own hyped mixes out via Stamp The Wax, Pacific Rhythm, Condesa Electronics, Dream Chimney, Gop Tun and more, Mikey consistently reps the sounds of his city while humbly influencing the masses.
