Summer’s here and Skydiver is doing what it does best: bringing excellent international selectors to Smith Street for free.
The Collingwood record store and wine bar has teamed up with NEUW Denim for a three-part Summer Sessions series running from November through January.
NEUW Denim will be putting on complimentary drinks early at each session. The Melbourne and Stockholm-founded brand has long drawn inspiration from contemporary music and art, making this partnership a natural fit. Summer starts at Skydiver.
Closing out the series in January is Tokyo-born, Berlin-based Courtney Bailey. The DJ, producer and party organiser founded the underground rave NOCOMPLY in the warehouse district of Shinkiba and gained international attention with her 2023 debut EP Soleil on Hole and Holland.
Her upcoming debut album In Dream, out via Second Circle in October, unfolds as a lush soundscape of digital synth pads, Fairlight-esque stabs and vibrant acid bass lines inspired by Japanese artist Dream Dolphin and time spent in Australia’s natural landscapes. She’s played at venues including Womb in Tokyo and Fuji Rock Festival.
