A month-long celebration of Club 77’s 28th birthday, featuring a lineup of legacy acts, fresh faces, and longtime residents — as told through the sound and spirit of those who keep the dance floor alive.
This month, Club 77 celebrates 28 years of independence, sound, and late nights in Eora. To mark the milestone, we’re rolling out a month-long program that reflects our essence: a tight-knit mix of legends, longtime locals returning to the booth, boundary-pushers, emerging voices, and the residents who keep our heart beating — all here to celebrate where we’ve been, and where we’re headed next. Across lockouts, shifting subcultures, and the city’s changing pace, 77 has evolved without losing what matters: a commitment to sound, community, and holding space for artists and dancers to grow — slowly, intentionally, and close to home.
Our May program launches with a landmark night: the long-awaited return of Bang Gang, Sydney’s iconic six-piece collective who helped define the electro era. For the first time in over a decade, they return to their spiritual home — joined by special guests — for a chaotic, colourful reunion that honours the spirit of the late Ajax and the sound they helped shape. Dangerous Dan reflects on the moment, sharing:
“It gives me this kind of excitement that’s hard to explain — not nervous or anxious, just that fuck-me-this-moment-can’t-come-soon-enough kind of excitement. The Club 77 crowd has always been there for one reason — to dance. It’s dark, it’s loud, and you can’t really talk much anyway. But they know what’s up. That’s my favourite kind of crowd. And what I’ve missed most? AJAX.”
Elsewhere across the month, Tempo Comodo returns with Dreems and Phil Smart for a slow-tempo, deep-listening session — before Phil returns again to close out the birthday celebrations solo. Fresh energy comes from debut sets by Mowgli (Kerfew), DJ D.Dee (Pacific Rhythm), and rising locals like Aquenta, Rydeen, Ari Kiko, and Yemi Sul. Joining them is longstanding favourite Robbie Lowe, and residents Mike Who, Deepa, Ciara, Wavyrager, Reenie, Jhassic, Barney Kato and Mazzacles — shaping the dance floor week in, week out.
This month’s program is more than a celebration; it’s a living reflection of what makes the club matter: the selectors who shaped its sound, the artists driving it forward, and the people who keep it moving. As always, it’s about community, continuity, and sound — held together by an inclusive spirit and a commitment to shaping what comes next.
Join us on the dance floor as we celebrate 28 years the only way we know how.
