Last week the news broke that Melbourne was getting a new flagship club, XE54. The venue, housed in an underground basement, has already built up a massive amount of hype around its grand opening. Seems the city was hungry.
There’s nothing more important that your first impression, which is why XE54’s first month lineup had to be monstrous. Today they’ve announced the names on their earliest ticket, and they don’t disappoint.
Melbourne’s most newest underground club has it’s first set of names. It’s time to cop the premiere lineup for the enigmatic XE54.
Spearheaded by Roar Projects, XE54 brings in over 60 years of hospitality experience to craft an experience where sound and production take the front seat. Bookings are being handled by Michael Christidis, who you’ll know from Beyond the Valley Festival.
Kicking off on August 12th, the club will host a weekly Saturday night bunker rave. Hundreds are already lining up, preparing themselves for what’s sure to be a monstrous launch. Find the first month lineup below:
12.08: Introduction
19.08: Sleep D
26.08: Jensen Interceptor
02.09: International TBA & Mike Callander
Sleep D is an advanced techno powerhouse currently repped by Butter Sessions. They’ve also enjoyed releases through Melbourne’s lushest electronic music label Analogue Attic.
Jensen Interceptor is lit by a similar fire, their driving techno moving with a road train’s momentum. Last up is Mike Callander, resident at Melbourne’s infamous Revolver nightclub.
It’s an altogether monumental first month, and we’re looking forward to the juice XE54’s full program has to offer.
