Rekōdo Label Takeover: Future Classic

Barangaroo House is set to turn up the volume when Rekōdo restaurant and vinyl bar welcomes a new DJ Set Series, taking over the decks every Wednesday throughout August.

Curated by some of the best names in the music space, Planet Trip, Elefant Traks, Utopian State, Future Classic and I OH YOU will each have their turn to showcase some of the best homegrown (vinyl) DJs in the scene. 

Rekōdo blurs the line between food, drink and music to create an immersive restaurant and vinyl bar experience along the harbour. The Wednesday takeover blends Rekōdo’s offering of Japanese-inspired flavours and cocktails with a killer soundtrack curated by a collective of tastemaker labels that have contributed to shaping Australia’s thriving music landscape. First up on the decks will be Planet Trip showcasing Mike Who and Caravan on Wednesday, August 2. Elefant Traks will take over Wednesday, August 9, enlisting the beloved Diola, Solo and DGGZ to curate the soundtrack for the evening. Taking the reins on Wednesday, August 16, Utopian State will be bringing Surahn who will be performing live, a first for Rekōdo, performing tracks from his latest EP, Soft Rock Summer followed by Sidwho for a nonstop spinathon. Wednesday, August 23 will see Future Classic unleash its roster of sought-after DJs. Spinning the decks for the final Wednesday night, August 30, will be the iconic vibe controllers, I OH YOU, with Paddy Harrowsmith and Johann Ponniah delivering a plethora of nonstop hits to ensure the series wraps on a high. 

With music and discovery at the heart of Rekōdo’s ethos, August’s takeover will dial up the senses for audiophiles, melophiles, culture seekers and gourmets alike. Since opening its doors last year, Rekōdo has continued to elevate Sydney’s social scene and has become one of the leading cultural hubs in the city. So this August, why not hit play and secure your booking for a fusion of cultural and sonic experiences curated by the best in the game.
