We come full circle with our last episode, Focussing on Melbourne's most recent extinct & possibly last truly free venue HUGS & KISSES, i sat down with Hugo Atkins to relive the last 9 years in melbourne town!

The Mercat started operating at the very crack of melbourne’s rave dawn, the 90’s,

and while the club started off techno and futuristic sounds it was also home to some great dnb & dub nights, that ended up being the meeting ground for quite a few of Melbourne’s key players in the next iteration of Melbourne's scene.

rightfully earning The Mercat its place in Melbourne’s night-club lore.

I sat down and spoke to Daragh Kan. The last person left holding the torch at the historic Melbourne pub/club. Daragh was the one of the founders of Animals Dancing, currently runs no less than 20 hospo venues, and is a bit of a marketing & design wizz and presents a realistic view of what it takes to operate your own venue in past ten years.

"Lounge" was an institution in melbourne clubbing. From "Filter" through to "Pleasure Planet." It's central city location made it the perfect hub for 30 years in Melbourne's night time economy. Please enjoy this incredibly insightful and informed discussion with one of the best in the business Mr. Carlo Colosimo.

We sat down with do'er of deeds Michael Delany, to spill the tea on what went on behind, under & around the grand piano at Melbourne's infamous nightclub Honkytonks.

I was lucky enough to sit down with Melbourne ICON Gavin Campbell, to discuss the early days of Melbourne nightlife & the infamous RAZOR Nightclub.
