Now or Never: Opening Night Party

  • Free
  • Dance

Dance all night long at Now or Never's free, all-ages winter rave, live at Fed Square.

Moritz von Oswald plays live in the heart of the CBD. The German electronic music pioneer and techno legend changed the face of contemporary music and club culture, forging the Detroit-Berlin sonic connection. One half of Basic Channel and Maurizio and operating iconic music labels Main Street and Rhythm & Sound, Moritz von Oswald is one of the most influential producers in electronic music of the last three decades.

Joining the line-up are local party diamonds, Sleep D, whose sound deftly shifts between energetic techno and hazy, hypnotic prog excursions, capable of turning any dance floor into a full rave workout. Rounding out the party is Kia, another Narrm-based DJ, known for transporting dancers into a world of deep rhythms and psychedelic textures with forward-thinking selections that draw you in.

This one’s set to be a stone-cold classic.
