  • 180° Virtual Environment at Sunny 6th Birthday image
  • Sunny is one party where the party environment and patron comfort is of just as much importance as the music. On Friday 14th November, the Sunny crew will step to showcase a clubbing experience that is ground breaking on a global level with the launch of the worlds first ‘Virtual Wrap-Around Environment’. Melbourne based visual artists Rob Ride and Ruben Osendarp have created technology that will use over 84 meters of screening and 7 linked projectors to create a 180° visual show that makes use of the entire human visual range, and immerse the dance floor in an entirely created environment. With the next Sunny due to take place at the Palace, this technical setup will transform the venue. The visual show is completely driven by the DJ’s beat, meaning that when the beat slows down or the tempo changes, so will the visuals. Providing the music at Sunny’s 6th birthday will be Anthony Pappa (4hour set), Gab Olivier, Gavin Keitel, Ozzie LA, Jono Fernandez, Lynt, Keltec and Mangan. This is definately an unbelievable lineup of Melbourne's best locally and abroad, and of future talent. Tickets for the event are on sale from DMC Records, The Palace, Central Station, Polyester and Rhythm & Soul (city) for $40+bf. Make haste!
