Revolver Upstairs is one of Australia’s most respected nightclubs and the late night DJ spots showcase Melbourne’s best DJs as well as frequently hosting interstate Australian and international touring DJs.
After the daytime service, live bands, art shows and restaurant taper down on Fridays, the club kicks off and runs right through to midday on Saturday. A few short hours later the venue reopens at 5pm running right through until 9am on Monday. The resident DJ roster reads like a who’s who of influential Melbourne artists including such names as Ransom, Boogs, Mike Callander, Spacey Space, T-Rek, Sunshine and Lewis CanCut amongst many others past and present. The Sunday day parties are a unique clubbing experience and have garnered a loyal following.
Fresh off an epic whirlwind European run, Melbourne’s own genre-bending powerhouse Mount Kujo are coming home and they’re bringing back the raw, hypnotic late-night "Berlin vibe". When it came to choosing a venue to capture that relentless Berlin club energy, there was only ever one answer: Revolver Upstairs (Revs).
This massive Saturday night serves as the official launch for their brand-new live album: “The Berlin Tapes”. Recorded raw and unadulterated during their recent tour across Germany. With standout sets at Fusion Festival, Berlin, Leipzig and Spechthausen, this album bottles the explosive magic of their international journey. Now they are ready to uncork that energy right on the Revs dancefloor.
Mount Kujo is a passionate, soulful and dynamic collective blending Psychedelic Funk, Jazz, Latin and Afro-beat. Featuring a vibrant, culturally diverse lineup of musicians from all corners of the globe, they are renowned for delivering lush polyrhythms, sharp, unexpected musical turns and explosive horn sections that command any room they play. From massive festival stages like Tanglewood and Port Fairy to deep-groove club residencies, they know exactly how to move a crowd.
Setting the stage for the night is CIRCUIT BREAKER, a high-octane, Japanese-style fusion band. Inspired by the legendary artists and composers who shaped classic video game soundtracks (like Casiopea, T-Square, Koji Kondo and Yoko Shimomura) they fuse serious technical chops with serious fun.
