M87 and Paxx Group are bringing two key threads of Europe’s hard dance resurgence to Melbourne Pavilion, with Berlin duo 2HOT2PLAY and Dutch hard house mainstays Mass Medium / Club Caviar set to play a late-night warehouse session later this month.

2HOT2PLAY are part of a new generation reshaping trance and rave music in European clubs, drawing from hard house, early-2000s aesthetics and modern techno to create fast, euphoric sets built for peak-time floors. Alongside them, Mass Medium / Club Caviar carry a longer lineage, representing hard house’s original energy as it finds new relevance on contemporary dance floors.

The night is supported by local selectors Emma Moon, OnlyWithYou, Champagnemuma and Ric Rodrigues, continuing M87’s focus on placing Naarm artists alongside international guests.

Set inside Melbourne Pavilion, the event forms part of M87’s ongoing warehouse program, built around stripped-back spaces, heavy sound and a floor-first approach to dance music.
