Lady Ga(y) Ga(y) @ Allphones Arena Sydney 30th August

Lady fucking Gay Gay, was so cray cray and incredible-ay (Call up a talent agent I'm the next Iggy Azelea). This bitch does not play around when it comes to a concert. With a constant stream of at least 500kg of confetti being poured into the audience and Gaga's A$$ in a thong all night long, I was a happy monster.

BUT before I get all gaga over Lady, I will mention that it did feel like she didn't have her heart in it. She had her tits out at some point, and shook them around, but dammit that doesn't always mean you're enjoying yourself (even though it does mean that when it comes to me). Voice was amazing, costumes, dancers, stage and routines too; but it seemed rehearsed and rushed. That's all I'll say, don't worry though, I'm still a superfan.

GIVE ME Givenchy (& Jimmy Edgar) @ Motorik 8th August

If I was a DJ, I would wish that I had Jimmy's tunes (and incredibly extensive knowledge in techno music as well as exquisite taste in tracks that go untz untz).

I'm not gonna lie, because I owe I it to myself to accept the truth. My night ended at 2am. Hi my name is Renata and I am a weak bitch. It was even my birthday that night, but by god I swear I am 20 going on 55. Even after a shot of Patron XO (not regrettable) and a can of Red Bull (regrettable). But I can fully assure you, that before I vouched for no pants, a Billy Idol shirt and bed, I was completely transported to a land of untz bang pow by a Mr Edgar. What a sexy sexy set that was (well, the parts I heard). Come back already Jimmy, next time I'll be sure to track down some Ritalin from my hyperactive friends and increase my Patron XO intake by at least 130%.

Nine Inch Nails & Queens of the Stone Age 6th March

Yeah. I got to see these heavyweights perform back to back in my own hometown. I may have had fun, whatever.

The air was thick with the smell of damp t-shirts, watered down beer and lit buds. Once you got over the fact that you were at one point in the night going to be covered in beer, have your face grazed across a sweaty back, and be punched somewhere, you would have been in for a night. Before commenting on the delicious set these guys performed, I have to hand it to the crowd. They were absolutely throbbing, and I have bruises, but oh god it was so much fun. I've been in some terrible mosh pits in my time, and this was probably the most considerate, caring pit of people I have the pleasure to share a show with. 

Now, the music. It was so entirely refreshing to watch artists play tight, timely sets. No encores, no revolving stages, no confetti canons. They came on stage, played brilliantly and left.  And it was one of the best sets I've watched, and, I've been to every Gaga show in Sydney. 

So all in all, well done NIN and QotSA, I commend you on your musical expertise, PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN. 

Sorry for the shocking iPhone photos, and here's an additional picture of me sipping free champagne before heading in. Is this picture be the correct application of the term 'Ballin'? #Discuss

Spiritual celebration of a Dance legend: I'M WITH AJAX @ Club 77 22nd February

Mind, body, spirit and soul were bathed in luscious rave anthems. It was certainly a night of tribute that the

late dance legend AJAX would have been proud of. DJ Damage, Jamie Doom, Dangerous Dan, Gus Da Hoodrat and  Double Nolan, with their DJ powers combined it was a delicious, rave-y, sweaty, and very rare night. Please stop now if you're already jealous, because I'm just going to make it worse. Holllaaa. 

The queues were around the corner, but it was so worth the wait. With songs like MR OIZO's 'Cut Dick' (if you haven't heard this check it out NOW) and Tiga's Remix of Märtini Brös's 'Big & Dirty', being dropped, it just became too much goodness for me to handle.

Not to mention they were flipping records and all wearing matching 'I'M WITH AJAX' tees. 

Everyone at some point in the night was able to scream/cry/laugh/yell 'OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE

SONG EVER'. Which just added to the overall joy of the night.

Lots of shirtlessness, lots of killer tracks, lots of fake flowers lots of everything good really.

Louisahhh!!! x Maelstrom @ MOTORIK 15th February

It seems like just yesterday I drunkly stumbled into my first Motorik, to see the leading lady of Techno herself, Louisahhh!!!. This time we were short of a secret warehouse, but the Tunes were still scrumptious and the patrons still absolutely thriving from the the XTC, NRG etc etc. Louisahhh!!! and Maelstrom took to the decks at 2am, by then, things had taken a turn for the turnt up. The crowd was more than pleased to finally have their minds, bodies and souls assaulted with house-music-all-night-long. It was a 3 hour set. 3 HOURS OF TECHO GOODNESS, or should I say GOONness. Bangers were dropped, left right and center, absolute bangers of tracks were neatly slid into their set. Canblasters remix of Funkin Matt feat Teki Latex's Get Loose, Jubilee & Burt Fox's Keys Wallet Phone, Louisahhh!!! & Maelstrom's Make It Happen, just to name a few. 
When it all finally came to an end, the sun was out, the patrons were wired and I was done with lyf. At some point in the night I met Louisahhh!!! and I don't remember the exact conversation I had with her, but I'm sure I would have been yelling the whole time, and also said something along the lines of "FSDDOSDFSEODSyouareamazing".

Black was my color of choice, to reflect the emptiness of my soul and because I was too lazy to coordinate any sort of color scheme. 


Obviously the joy was too much for me to handle #toomuch

MOTORIK | ULTRAVIOLET 18th January ☯

First one of the year, and probably the sweatiest of the year too. Not only did we get to celebrate the launch of Francis Xavier's Chastised and Canonised EP, but also Wordlife's Club Strobe EP. Well. That's a little bit fun. 
I had a little bit of fun too, some would say #toomuch, but that's what this is all about, right? Anyway, the warehouse space was snazzy and ravey and pulsing, and most of all, SECRET. Well, until everyone knew. 
They warned us, and it did marinate you, not only in your own perspiration, but in scrumptious, groovy, techno tunes. The music was all groovy, all absorbing and most of all UNTZ-y as hell. As always. Oh, and it was also a UV rave, which meant WHITE, and also some questionable smears and smudges across peoples faces, and also the bathroom sinks.
Lads and bitches, I give you, three consecutive photographs of me drinking Patron XO out of a Slush Puppie cup. Hashtag WHY.

DⒶS BUNKER @ Los Angeles

OKAY, this is a very late post. I would apologize but I'm not sorry, I'm as sorry as Justin Beiber for drag racing and driving under the influence (insert Beiber bash comment here).
Anyway, I had the lucky chance to attend Das Bunker, in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. This place is the prime place for the illest industrial, goth-y goodness music and people. It was also the LAST NIGHT of this iconic hub, and I got to be there. Welly, welly, welly, loving lyf.
It was a sick/ill/dope night, because besides getting my cousins completely trashed (sorry not sorry), making new friends of the night and experiencing the real Los Angeles night streets, I came home, and didn't smell like the floor of a bar and stale cigarettes.The place was oddly clean.

H A L L O W E E N @ MTK 1st November

It was SUPA scary and a little bit awesome. As always, the rave cave was decked out in rave-y goodness. This time it was plastered with Halloween fun, black, black and more black, with the occasional white letters spelling M T K, in case anyone forgot where they were. Which I'm sure people did, because; Yes, it got that cray cray.
Not only where there scrumptious tunes, but ghoul-y patrons who definitely got into the Halloween spirit. Errryone looked immaculate at arrival, only to have it ruined 1 hour later when the dancing took priority over costume rights.
With killa Techno vibes from Jon Convex, Thomas Von Party and the Motorik Vibe council, what else could you want?
As usual; Tasty Techno Tunes, Chill Vibes, Party-monster-esque patrons. U N T Z, U N T Z, U N T Z.


I wore a cropped wife-beater, my white leather gym shorts, my trusty Doc Martens, dripped my chest in gold and got some blood up on me.

Ps Guess who?

DISCLOSURE + ALUNAGEORGE + DUKE DUMONT @ University of Canberra 4th October

To welcome in the long weekend, in all its glory, I thought I'd take a trip down to Canberra to watch Disclosure, AlunaGeorge and Duke Dumont. For anyone who lives in Australia, you're probably asking "Why Canberra?". Well, I missed out on ListenOut and their sideshows in Sydney, so I had no choice, and I was desperate to catch these amazing acts.

So we missed numerous turns, that was partially my fault, for deciding we should listen to R Kelly's 'Trapped in the closet', but we finally made it. I'll admit, we did miss AlunaGeorge, which I was fuming over. But Duke Dumont graced the rowdy crowd with his presence and all was forgotten. All in all, an amazing performance from both Duke and Disclosure, besides the fact that I got stuck behind a pole, and a couple grinding and tongue touching, I loved every scrumptious moment of that UK garage goodness. It was just deliciou$.







So I kept it rad with some Subtittled plaid, a thrifted black sheer cami, my satin Bralette, thrifted and sewn Holey jeans and dipped myself in gold. I was the most practically dressed gurl there, it was 4 degrees Celsius and girls were wearing skirts. No one cares how hot you look when its 4 Degrees.

U N T Z | U N T Z | U N T Z @ Motorik 6th September

If you've missed the last Motorik parties then consider yourself Square. 

Non-stop good vibes, Tasty, tasty tunes, and Party monster-esque patrons. Motorik has it all. The Vibe Council started the night with some chilled beats, only making everyone clench their fists more with excitement and anticip-ation. This time the warehouse was equipped with a back area, mood-lit for your pleasure, and lined with couches for the weak. The walls were plastered with UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ, to obviously remind us to UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ all night.


I wore a cropped cami, Leather Gym shorts, Thrifted polka dot overshirt and some platformZ. You best believe I did not look this put together by the end of the night. It would have been a shame if I did, really.

✌ paint day at T H E H A U N T ✌

Artists Mike Watt, Sindy Sin, Alex Lehours, Dale Bigeni, Adrien Teem Repeti and Trait Cross, pleased the crowd with their sweet, sweet Art last Saturday. 
Held in a converted warehouse was a pile of people just wanting to see some dudes paint and listen to some tasty tunes while having a Cider. There was a bar, some sweet DJs and artists on all levels, all walls and all rooms of the house laying down their impressive work. The place was completely transformed thanks to them, though the warehouse was filled with the fumes of spray paint. Which I'm not complaining about, a little bit of dizziness is always fun.

I h e a r t ♥LOVE CLUB♥

There were floatation devices hung from the ceiling and from patron's arms, childhood mickey mouse blankets strewed across a door opening, teddy bears smacked against the back wall of the DJ booth. Essentially, it was a childhood dream of mine to one day build and probably live in a place like this. I fulfilled my dreams, in a more drunk, messed up and 20 year old kind of way. You should too.
A Friday night at LOVE CLUB, and you'll be hooked. You'll also be left crying into a bottle of hard liquor when I tell you what you missed out on last Friday night.
I hope you're familiar with Ksubi, because the co-creator, Dan Single a.k.a DANGEROUS DAN, who also had his golden fingers in Bang Gang, pleased the crowd with his Disco decibels. With the likes of that, you're already regretting it aye? Anyway, we also got the pleasure of seeing, or rather listening and grooving to VIVI, 'chairman and rave shaman of Motorik'. Oh and the head man of Death Strobe Recordings, a mr LE ROUGE.
It was a night of techno-disco-funky-groovy-madness, and you missed out on it. So you shouldn't miss out on the next one.


THIS is what happens when you give a very intoxicated (swear he wasn't even going to drink that night) person the camera.
