Coffee culture meets club culture at this music venue for early-birds.
Live Music: Expect a steady stream of tunes with live DJ sets soundtracking the space during all opening hours– no stage, no pressure, just music flowing. It perfectly blends the high energy of a club with the intimacy of your local neighbourhood cafe. You can feel the music thumping, but you still have room to sip that cappuccino.
Famous for: Espresso Sessions: Saturday afternoons dedicated to showcasing Melbourne’s rising electronic talent. Think chilled beats, warm lighting and the low hum of espresso machines.
Infamous for: the OnAir YouTube Channel, where DJ sets are streamed like Boiler Room meets your local café – intimate and just the right kind of lowkey. They’re perfect for the study crowd who vibes with lo-fi beats while grinding.
Forget the old club scene. No more $30 door fees, endless lines or strobe-induced headaches. This is clubbing for the introverted, the overstimulated and the romantics, raving from a comfy seat, matcha in hand, surrounded by people who feel the music like you do. Swap that overpriced vodka shot for a $4 espresso. It hits better anyway.
Bridging the gap between sweaty nightclubs and sterile stages, OnAir is bringing electronic music into everyday spaces. In a city like Melbourne where we live and breathe techno, OnAir is giving emerging artists the space they deserve, right where you’d least expect it.
In true Melburnian fashion, they’re not just jumping on the sustainability bandwagon. The venue is built entirely from upcycled and recycled materials, with Tasmanian oak flooring and Australian hardwood seating creating an airy, light-filled space with serious soul.
And because no coffee spot is complete without a good deal, from 8am to 11am, grab any coffee and pastry combo for just $8, the perfect morning pick-me-up for your commute (or your comedown).
In true form, the space goes above and beyond with specialty brews, house music vibes and a carefully curated rotation of DJs and radio selectors soundtracking your latte. It’s where your morning coffee run could easily become your favourite new listening session.
