What brands are you behind and what year did they launch? Mistrust Music (2008), Laundry Bar (2011).
How’d you get into it? I started running underage events in country victoria when I was 16 and then moved into clubs and onto live music after moving to Melbourne 16 years ago.
Who are your resident DJs and/or favourite touring talents? We feature a range of Melbourne’s best DJs from most genre’s at the bar on rotation during the week, mainly focusing on hip hop, bass and dancehall styles. As far as touring I’ve had many great times on the road with acts like Pharoahe Monch, The Clipse and Lord Finesse.
Who’s your crowd and what makes your parties great? People who love music, at the bar we’ve definitely carved out a niche concentrating on hip hop, bass and dancehall but we’re open to everyone and we’re down with anyone who wants to party!
What’s been the most epic party you’ve thrown and why? Probably Pete Rock on New Year’s Day this year, it was super busy and he did a three hour hip hop DJ set that blew my mind!
What’s the worst/craziest thing that’s happened at one of your parties? I always find it crazy when people bring bad vibes.
Shameless self-promotion opportunity – what, when, where for your next party? Laundry is open every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a hip hop and bass, dancehall focus. It’s mostly free entry downstairs and always fun!
