Mixmag ANZ, Bar Freda's & KONTI LANG would like to recognise that this event, and all the work done in the organisation of it, has taken place on stolen land.

We want to acknowledge the Owners of the land on which we will gather - The Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We’d like to pay our respect to Elders past, present and future, and hope that all our guests do the same. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

We’ll be offering tickets free of charge to any First Nations people who wish to attend. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

12.12 Alien: Klon Dump + Magda Bytnerowicz x Barney Kato

Alien returns from the nether regions of your imagination with Berlin via Eora's premier mind twister KLON DUMP. Cutting his teeth in the live act GARDLAND in the 2010s MARK (who also releases deconstructed jungle on Moopie's A Colorful Storm and Ostgut Ton's Unterton under his birth name) relocated to Berlin and started releasing crazy minimal maximal tech records on a semi regular basis while maintaining a unhealthy hive of synthesisers and other things that go bleep in the night. Regulat Alien's Magda Bytnerowicz and Barney Kato will dip deep into their old school minimal crates to provide the warm up for an extended dump.

 

13.12 Astral People presents 24HR PARTY

BACK IN ACTION — 24 HOURS. NON-STOP. NO MERCY.


To guide us into silly season, we’re calling in serious DJ muscle for yet another 24-HOUR rager at Sydney’s only 24-hour institution.
From 10 PM Saturday to 10 PM Sunday, 14 December, we’re taking over Abercrombie and unleashing 30+ of our favourite selectors to push this party to the limit. Every floor of its three-level labyrinth will be alive, vibrating, humming, burning, and moving for a full 24 hours of relentless music.
Come early. Stay late. Wander between moods as selectors tear through acid explorations, dubbed-out techno, deep soulful house, UKG rollers, liquid funk, breaks, footwork, electro, bruk, bent boogie, rare disco grooves, and ambient textures — a full-spectrum sonic assault guaranteed to hit every corner of the dancefloor and every nerve in your body.


Tickets start at $24.90. The 24 hours are split into two 12-hour sessions — Session One: 10 PM Saturday to 10 AM Sunday. Session Two: 10 AM to 10 PM Sunday. Go the full mile with a 24-hour pass and own every second of it.


Once these tickets are gone… they’re gone. Don’t miss the end-of-year belter.
 

20.12 A Very Wax’o Xmas w/ Wax’o Paradiso (3 hr. Set) + Ciara & D-Grade

The beloved DJ duo, party dreamweavers and label heads Wax’o Paradiso glide into Club Freda’s on 20 December for a night of sonic mischief and deep-in-the-groove sorcery.

For over a decade, Edd Fisher (PBS FM stalwart and trusted voice of Melbourne radio) and Simon TK (Skylab’s crate-digging captain and long-form journey specialist) have been building Wax’o into something bigger than a DJ act: a roaming party institution, a record label championing antipodean psychedelia, and a community anchored in dance-floor joy. Their iconic open-air sessions, renegade venue takeovers and lovingly-curated events have become the stuff of underground folklore.

Fresh off a busy run of gigs, an RA mix that distilled their current widescreen mood, and a year that’s seen them stretch from club basements to breezy outdoor affairs, the duo arrive at Club Freda’s glowing with momentum. Expect rolling basslines, balearic drift, dubby warmth, percussive lift and those unexpected left-turns that make Wax’o sets feel like they’re caught between a dream sequence and a sunrise.


No matter where they are, Wax’o Paradiso has the dancefloor dialled and Club Freda’s is getting the full treatment — don’t sleep on this one!

26.12 SAVE THE DATE - Techno Mafia Boxing Day Rave

Caldera & Techno Mafia will team up on Boxing Day at the Abercrombie Hotel for a 17 hour blockbuster from Midday to 5 AM!!

With 30 DJs spinning Psy, House and Techno across 4 levels, Boxing Day Rave will be a day to remember!!

Our dance floors are a sacred modern-day tribal ritual where we connect and make great memories. We are a safe space for people of all ethnicities, sexualities and neurodivergence. This means that if you feel even slightly unsafe, please find Caldera or Techno Mafia staff, you will be taken care of.

In addition, if you are behaving antisocially, you will be removed from the event and all future events. We have a zero tolerance for harassment. This means that the dancefloor is for dancing and connecting. Please remember to look after your friends and pace yourself. No refunds.

Finally and most importantly, we would like to acknowledge The Aboriginal People of this land, their connection to it and pay respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. Their sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

& more TBA

A very special 12 hour party over 4 rooms in the ABERCROMBIE and BAR FREDA’S.

 

Headlining New Years Eve will be Melbourne-born, Berlin-based selector and producer TORNADO WALLACE, who has spent two decades slinging house, left-field pop and ambient techno across all corners of the globe. He will be playing a 3 hour set to see in 2026 taking us on a sonic journey, part escapist, part expansive and a little bit psychedelic.

Co-headlining and closing out the party with a 3 hour sunrise set will be Sydney’s own audio architect - ANDY GARVEY. A mainstay of the local dance music community as a DJ, producer, radio host and head of the label Pure Space, Andy has spent the last few years living in Berlin bringing her sound to dancefloors across Europe. She’s known for weaving dark-textured techno, electro and introspective rhythms and we can’t think of anyone better to close out the party.

Fresh from being booked to play Dekmantel Selectors, we are excited to welcome Japanese-born, Berlin-based COURTNEY BAILEY. A party organiser turned producer / DJ who balances mid-tempo burn with acid-tinged poise. Her 2023 EP Soleil (Hole & Holland) and 2025 release I Wanna Feel You (Animals Dancing) showcase her experimental yet dance-savvy style.

Sydney-based selector and producer BEN FESTER has been quietly carving his path since the mid-2000s. Resident Advisor describes him as “the kind of music you’ll probably never hear” — and that’s the charm. He’s been a fixture across Australia’s more hidden outposts and underground rooms, bringing a mix of left-field, instinctive grooves that reward the late-night loyalists.

Art-maestro and dance-floor provocateur DJ CRABBY (aka Carla Uriarte) has merged her background in visual arts with a wickedly playful DJ style. As one of the Arts and Music Programmers behind the Abercrombie and Bar Freda’s - she knows every corner of the venue better than anyone and hence knows exactly what to deliver and when - both sonically and visually.

Sydney’s veteran selector SIMON CALDWELL has been spinning records since the early 1990s and remains delightfully un-pigeon-holed. With 30+ years of records behind him, he has deep ties to multiple Sydney venues and collectives, foremost being his own seminal night Mad Racket.

Sydney-based ARI KIKO is one of the city’s ascending voices, bringing fresh energy, club-aware instincts and a hunger for the dancefloor. Her recent line-up appearances and trajectory proves she’s undoubtedly moving fast in the local scene. Ari brings a certain type of fun and infectious energy to her sets that is hard to look past.

FIG JAAM has been steadily building a name — and a community — one dance floor at a time. As both a party and DJ collective, their sets balance atmosphere and intention, bridging that sweet spot between club precision and communal warmth. With an instinct for pacing and a knack for emotional momentum, Fig Jaam crafts the kind of moments that feel less like a set and more like a shared arrival.

Sydney-based DJ and radio host, ADI TOOHEY splits her energy between airwaves and club floors, bringing jazzy house and deep grooves to her sets. Her movement through both international rooms and local communities means she arrives with both polish and connection — she’s got the right sound for every moment.

Filipino-Australian and Eora-based, MINA TONIC fuses classical musical training with club instincts, moving between rich textures and floor momentum. Her growing profile in Sydney’s scene, both as a DJ and for her Danza parties, is built on musical depth and inclusive energy — great for those times when the floor wants to feel emotional but still move.

A cornerstone of the Freda’s dancefloor DNA, DJ SALAMI is the connective thread — curator, selector and community keeper that ties it all together. His DJ sets are few and far between these days, as he’s been preoccupied programming, designing and re-working every corner of the Abercrombie and Bar Freda’s - only pulling out the stack of gold he’s sitting on for worthy occasions, and this NYE at Delirious is certainly one of those.

FLING curated by Izzy Feek, producer of FBi Radios Culture Guide, is a multi disciplinary event and collective incorporating art, music, and performance. We are very excited to have Fling host our Chill Out Room for New Years Eve!
