Coming Down Under for her first ever Australian shows, Venus X is the powerhouse behind the now-legendary NYC club night GHE20GOTH1K. Founded in 2009 with pal and Hood By Air designer Shayne Oliver, GHE20G0TH1K celebrated the convergence of hip hop, rave and queer cultures within Manhattan’s diverse underground. It quickly become New York’s biggest hotspot and inspired Hood By Air, now one of New York’s most important labels. Musically Venus’ eclectic style of ballroom, Jersey club, industrial, future RnB and grime has defined her as one of the most important and groundbreaking producers of the past decade.
Venus’ appearance comes courtesy of Sydney’s EVE and Melbourne’s Club_ESC, who (between 2013 to 2015) ran Australia’s only club night dedicated to the same genre and scene between. Venus X will be playing two very special shows at Sydney’s Plan B Small Club on March 4 and at The Sub Club in Melbourne on March 5.
Guests include Chanel, Body Promise and Bhenji Ra in Sydney and Air Max ’97, Aspartame, Rap Simons, Sal and Jalé in Melbourne. Check out Venus’ recent mix for i-D below and get hyped.
