Animals Dancing could quite possibly be one of Australia’s greatest exports of late releasing some of the most forward thinking and all-round awesome tunes around and continually throwing some awesome parties along the way.

Now they’re giving back to the city that started it all, Melbourne, running a NYD party featuring Mood Hut’s Pender Street Steppers and Glasgow duo Optimo.

After running a string of outdoor parties over the last few years this time the crew are back together for one last hoorah for a full venue takeover at Melbourne’s infamous Mercat Cross Hotel before it sadly closes it’s doors due to development to the QVM area.

Joining the already huge lineup is Cologne selector Lena Willikens making her Australian debut as well as Animals Dancing Residents Tornado Wallace, Otologic and Andee Frost.

Basement duties will fall to the ever reliable Sleep D, who will be hosting a Butter Sessions showcase with the full lineup yet to be announced.

The party itself kicks off at 2pm. Grab your tickets here.
