"For me Mince / Pavlovabar is all about freedom. Whether you’re on the dance floor or performing it makes deejaying there a real honour. I feel free to take risks with the music I share there. This mix is a different sonic direction to what you may expect from me, and I’m a bit nervous about putting it out there. But that’s mince right? Fearless, fierce and free." - @barneykatokato

Well acquainted with underground music dens and eclectic grooves, Steve Sonius has been a mainstay of the Sydney scene as a DJ and promoter going on 35 years. A core member of the Bag Dog collective alongside Annabelle Gaspar and Bill Cotsis, Steve is just as comfortable pushing downtempo grooves as he his holding down a headline set at Mad Racket.

For his excellent Tempo Comodo set back in August, Steve weaved his way through a wide array of slow-mo cuts before settling into a nu-disco vibe. A prime snapshot of some of the sounds you can discover at 77’s weekly Thursday night series, in this mix you’ll hear from Ron Basejam, Tycho, Nicola Cruz and many more.

Evolved from Phil Smart’s innovative and well received ‘Slow Dance Experiment’ concept, Tempo Comodo is a new party series further exploring the slower realms of danceable beats. From 70bpm downtempo to midtempo chug, anything under 120bpm is fair game as long as it's made for dancing! Getting down to slower tempos opens up a whole new world of space, rhythm and movement. Come and join the slow dance revolution as we venture deep into a diverse musical universe of varied subgenres, influences and styles. Expect slo-haus, post-nudisco, chillrave, chuggy low-slung grooves, and any slo-mo superlative you can throw into the mix.

Robbie Lowe live at Club 77, July 2023

Club 77 track off Lex Barlin's "Locales" EP (out Aug 2nd).
Available on bandcamp here: https://dialecticrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/lex-barlin-locales

“Club 77” starts by guiding listeners into the venue’s hidden nooks, offering a calm moment away from the energetic main dance floor. But just as you get comfortable, Barlin’s skillful production draws you back into the mix, driven by a sinuous bassline that’s impossible to resist. What sets this track apart is Barlin’s meticulous attention to detail; many of the sounds and reverbs were captured live at 77 William St, Darlinghurst, the actual address of Club 77. This location-specific approach imbues the track with a genuine authenticity, making listeners feel as if they’re right there in the club."
