The long (and sometimes blurry) past of the Lounge can also be attributed to the large list of promoters and DJs who have been involved in making some of the most iconic nights in Melbourne. Remember Filter, Wednesday nights? It was one of the longest running Techno nights in the southern hemisphere. What about Loose Fit or Elect which seen Boogs, one of Melblournes most respected DJs, hold a residency for nearly 16 years.
Purveyours, ran by DJ Ranson held on for ~ 8 years


So now that we are turning 20 its time to party like it was 1989 all over again. So dust off those old skaters, bring out those hypothermal T-shirts, and get involved with the crude past that has made up Lounges record books for the past 20 years. To mark the special occasion we are planning a 2 day party from 8 pm on Saturday 16th January all the way through to 10pm and beyond on Sunday 17th January.

So that means 2 days of NON STOP partying with Lounge’s best DJs.

Highlights of the Birthday include:-
• Set by Lounge's longest runing DJ resident - Boogs
• Set by one of Melbournes biggest and most respected international
Breaks producers - Nick Thayer. With VERY special guest MC
