Bacardi has released the second episode of its three-part series focused on keeping local nightlife alive.
Barcardi have released the second episode of a three-part video series Party Talks, exploring the state of Australian nightlife, shining a light on what keeps the country’s key cultural curators going and up at night.
With the lock outs, police crackdowns and cranky neighbours, many of Australia’s foremost curators of nightlife have also become familiar with frustration, roadblocks, and a lack of support.
Shot around the recent House of Bacardi party in Sydney, the episode features insights from some of the Sydney’s most important and well-loved nightlife notables including Tyson Koh (Keep Sydney Open), Nes, Christopher Kevin Au, The Meeting Tree (Raph Lauren & Joyride), Jimmy Nice (One Day), Jade Le Flay, Arca Bay, Luen, and Jono Seidler.
The various DJs, journalists and activists answer questions on what's the biggest challenges facing the party scene and what needs to be done to re-shape the current Kings Cross landscape.
Keep Sydney Open’s Tyson Koh says: "We've always had amazing talent and passion in Sydney. There's no shortage of DJs and promoters who want to put on great parties that enliven the city. With the lockouts however, our nightlife has received a kick in the guts and Sydney's confidence as a whole has suffered.
"Instead of playing politics, the Baird government has an opportunity to work with nightlife practitioners to build a 24-hour city we can all be proud of."
