My fellow House dancer and NY-obsessed friend Rod has been scoping out the club scene for a while, on the lookout for funk, soul, house and good Hip Hop nights out in Sydney, since the ones we know of are utter crap holes filled with teeny boppers and posers. What a goldmine was the find of Ache4House at the newly renovated Mars Lounge in Sydney. I went for the first time last Friday night, and while quiet, it was soon full of Rod’s posse and more, due to the farewell celebrations of one of the most prominent House and Hip Hop dancers in Sydney (from and going back to Japan of course). The sleek interior and cosy booths give that underground feel, and while we could do with some more open space, we’ll do with what we have and keep our moves small. The music was fantastic, a deep, souful and funky type of House, absorbed by every dancer in the room, especially those who have had a taste of the New York House scene and longing for more. We’ll be sure to make it a regular Friday night jam, with Rod leading the pack. I’ll be there every now and then, and will update on my Twitter/Facebook when I do so you can hit me up if you feel like getting down
