Because of your continuing support that never fails to inspire us collectively, and our mutual love for quality music, we are very excited to announce a special event. You were there from the beginning and now we’re bringing it all back to where the parties first began!
Funkdafied and DigDeep Promotions have once again teamed up to create the 5th installment of High Flyers Little Secret on the 23rd of June, with an impressive line-up of international and local artists. We have a few surprises up our sleeve, after all, what’s a secret if we tell you everything in one go? What we can disclose is that we have one of the best turntablists in the world – MR THING, a former DMC Champion and world famous Crate Digger is spinning tracks in the Funkdafied room. Joining him will be the one and only DJ HUDGE, a man with 20 years experience internationally renowned for his diverse taste in music that has seen him travel the world over. In the House Room will be legendary House music connoisseur, UK’s GRAEME PARK!

The Venue…
Sun Studios has effectively remained one of Sydney’s diamond in the rough, a hidden oasis paradoxically filled with concrete, steel, high ceilings, spacious interiors, the right amount of flora, and plenty of parking for designated drivers.
It’s an alluring space made for warehouse parties, for those that know their music like it was an extension of themselves. For you, we searched high and low determined to bring Sydney a place where shared beliefs create a sense of belonging and it’s our little secret!
Everyone has a secret they keep hidden…some secrets are hard to keep; some secrets are hard to find. Some secrets keep those on the outside guessing, but if you’re a part of the secret, it can make you feel alive.
We hope you can all make it for what we’re hoping will be our biggest and best warehouse event so far. We have a massive production going into this one, and we look forward to seeing you all on the Dance Floor.
Please note first release tickets will only be on sale for a short time, so get in early to avoid disappointment!
