Never Mind The Balearics return for a long weekend inner west disco session
Legendary Sydney disco party crew Never Mind The Balearics are back, and this one is shaping up to be a proper long weekend Inner West dance floor moment.
If you know, you know. These are the crew who were bringing artists like Rahaan and Al Kent to Sydney back when deep disco edits weren’t as widely celebrated as they are now. Many of the records we still love — and still play out on dancefloors today — were first heard through their nights. Their taste has always been next level.
For a lot of us, we were dancing at their parties long before we even started running our own events. Proper selectors, proper community, and a serious respect for disco, funk and house in all its forms.
Now they’re back doing what they do best — curating a seriously strong lineup and bringing that energy back to Sydney.

Never Mind The Balearics present: MR DISCO KID (Japan) + JEREMY SPELLACEY (Soundway Records)
