This spring sees a fluster of excitement on the clubbing scene with the launch a brand new Sunday dance soiree: Mad Hatters, launching at Merivale's new crown jewel "Upstairs Beresford".

A new genre of Sydney dance party sparked by the team at Gusto International (the team who have given you the Freemasons, Katherine Ellis, Bimbo Jones, Taito Tikaro, Lydia Sanz, and loads more), Mad Hatters is a European style afternoon T-Dance that will deliver a reinvigorated sense of sophistication to Sunday sessions throughout the party season. The first one is sure to go off like a rocket with Scissor Sisters DJ, Sammy Jo, set to fight fire with fire alongside a filthy/gorgeous local DJ line-up.

Originally rocking avant-garde clubs in the city that never sleeps, Sammy Jo has kept savvy New York party lovers moving from the word Go!. Since first stepping behind the wheels of steel in 1997 at legendary NY nightclub Mother, the infamous tour DJ has developed a sound encompassing a unique blend of disco, electro, and house. Since then he has spent much of his time touring solo throughout Europe, playing at massive festivals in cites such as London, Barcelona, Milan and Antwerp. Now Sammy is returning to Australia to bring you his unique sound, at a one-of-a-kind party, in one amazing venue.

Breaking up the winter clouds this September 11th at 4pm, Mad Hatters is set to let some sunshine in at Upstairs Beresford. A sparkling new venue, complete with 2 balconies, grand staircase, polished marble bar and cabaret style stage, Upstairs is the quintessential venue to frame a slightly quirky afternoon of music, drinks and unpredictable frivolity! Tailored to the needs of any discerning Sydney socialite, Upstairs is the rabbit hole to a party Sydney dancers have long been seeking.
