MORNING RAVE, SYDNEY!

Hot on the heels of our sweaty launch party in Sydney, Morning People is back!

On Friday 19 December, set your alarms and make your way to Oxford Art Factory for a morning with Italian-born, Sydney-based dancefloor weapon Nick Reverse.

After nearly a decade of remixing mornings across Aotearoa New Zealand - 200+ events, 30,000+ dancers, and an unshakable belief that the best parties don’t always happen after dark - Morning People has officially arrived in Sydney. And we’re just getting started.

Leading round two is Nick Reverse, an artist who needs no introduction in Sydney’s electronic scene. Born in Salerno and raised on his father’s vinyl collection, Nick has spent almost twenty years perfecting a sound that fuses unmistakable Italian groove with the grit of modern tech house and techno.

As founder of WeLove Recordings, and with releases on 303Lovers, La Pera, Klaphouse, Set About, Phobiq, Too Many Rules - plus sets alongside Carl Cox, Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, and for brands like elrow, PURE and Resistance - Nick knows exactly how to turn a dancefloor inside out before breakfast.

Expect a full-throttle club experience before most people have checked their emails: big sound and lights, sweaty catharsis, and a sunrise serotonin boost - all before 8:00am.

In usual Morning People fashion, dancefloor heat will be served alongside complimentary fresh-plunged coffee, fruit, and non-alc drinks thanks to the legends at Karma Drinks.

Alcohol-free, dress to sweat.

Ōtautahi! Morning People is back this December, bringing the sunrise sweat to the end of the year with none other than local legend Simon Kong!

A pillar of the dance community since the early ’90s, Simon’s journey began with a school-party stereo takeover and grew into three decades of shaping Aotearoa’s electronic music landscape. From his roots in hip hop and scratch DJing, to the warehouse raves and outdoor parties that defined a generation, Simon has lived and lifted the scene from every angle.

Working behind the scenes on legendary festivals like The Gathering, Canaan Downs Festival and Rhythm & Alps, Simon has helped shape multiple eras of Aotearoa’s party culture. Across the decades he’s shared the booth with an impressive roster of artists including Carl Craig, Carl Cox, Eden Burns, Chaos in the CBD and Frank Booker, and through his event brands Kidnap Inc, City Nights and Summer Club, he’s woven into the fabric of the dance music community.

Expect a high-energy journey through decades of house and disco - a morning rave crafted by someone who’s dedicated his life to the dancefloor.

As always, your early-morning dance comes with free-flow Altezano Brothers coffee, All Good bananas and Karma Drinks.

This is our last party in Ōtautahi for 2025, tickets on sale now – let’s go!
