...an epic 6.5 hour DJ set by legendary DJ Roy Thode at the even more legendary night club "The Saint" where dance music history was written. This is a special, so-called "morning music" set.

Quote from Tim Lawrence about this:
Robbie Leslie: "At around 6:00 AM, in a ritual that was not replicated in other venues, the DJ would let the final record of the peak set fade, accept applause from the crowd and acknowledge the work of the lighting person and the generosity of the crowd (if indeed the applause was enthusiastic, which wasn’t always the case). After that, the DJ would take the tempo right down and play a set that was commonly referred to as “sleaze” or “morning music”."

...and Barry Walters on RBMA:
"As the night progressed, the tempo and intensity increased by tiny, nearly imperceptible increments until climaxing around 6 AM, when the DJ would stop the music and the still-sizeable crowd would applaud as if giving a Broadway cast their standing ovation.

Then the DJ would resume, but at a somewhat slower tempo, and in a more lyrical and romantic style known as “morning music.” In a morning music set, the tempo of the tracks might build again, but typically not their intensity. Instead, DJs programed morning sets to ease dancers off stimulants and take them down an ethereal, more relaxing and soulful path for several more hours. Then the jock would usually take another encore, henceforth playing what many call “sleaze.” Sleaze might be overtly sexual, like Skatt Bros.’ “Walk the Night,” but usually not; its foundation was openhearted R&B; songs of longing, or regret, or sorrow or unmitigated joy.

This misnomer – Leslie emphatically objects to it – was especially deceptive because quintessential “sleaze” selections like Sharon Ridley’s “Changin’” or Viola Wills’ “Somebody’s Eyes” ranked among the evening’s most sensitively arranged tracks. Even when club music lost much of its compositional sophistication as the decade progressed, a “sleaze” set always radiated class. "

Roy Thode - Morning Music at The Saint (6.5 hours!) NYE 1981/82

Saturday 19th October 2019 we said goodbye to Karova Lounge.
It has always been a special place for us, the first nightclub gig for Daz almost 12 years ago, it was where Jules and Daz met for the first time, and shared their first 'Disco Pash'.
It was also the place where the idea for what would become Sweat Dreams was conceived.
But most importantly, it was somewhere where many, many people could meet, dance and feel safe.
This mix although a touch messy at times perfectly sums up the night, slightly dishevelled, at times chaotic, full of love and a hell of a lot of fun.
Including an impromptu 10 minute mashies takeover by Gaz from Yacht Club DJs around the 1:04 mark.
We're gonna miss you Karova, the best crowd and the best staff.
Much love SDDJs XX

SDDJs say goodbye to Karova Lounge

Sweat Dreams are a DJ duo living on Wadawurrung Country. Their sound defies neat categorisation, drawing from Balearic, Deep/Dark Disco, Tech House, Breaks, Afrobeat & Arabic Electronica and anything else that takes their fancy. Their infectious energy and connection with the dance floor and each other sees them constantly on the move, digging deep for unusual tracks to create a journey from darker undercurrents through to lighter carefree vibes.

Sweat Dreams have supported acts including CC:DISCO!, Harvey Sutherland, Yacht Club DJs, Northeast Party House, Confidence Man, Juno Mamba & Wax’o Paradiso. Daz & Jules have recorded mixes for Australian and international podcasts and record labels and have been invited to play at events and venues including Falls Festival, Grampians Music Festival, The Espy, The Night Cat, Karova, Volta and Warrnambool's Downtown Festival. 

We came here to dance.

Sweat Dreams DJs would like to acknowledge the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Sovereignty has never been ceded. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
