🪩🕰️ 'THE BEST ROOM’ feat. 🪆🎉 TONIGHT | TICKETS ON DOOR FOR $20

slide into your filthiest finery and get ready to glisten because 🪩🕰️ THE BEST ROOM🪆🎉 is happening TONIGHT at from 7PM – 12AM💃

In just a few short hours, we’re throwing open the doors to the Best Room once more - and filling it with sweat, sparkle and serious disco devotion.

And who better to set the tone than the one who started it all?

That’s right. Laying down the doilies and welcoming you in, we have our beloved resident, founder, and patron saint of perspiration…

💦 SWEATY BABY 💦


yes, it’s both a name and a warning/invitation 🫣😈 when he's on duty: you better get ready to sweat, because he sure is 😘💦 

When he’s on duty, expect bodies in motion and shirts in surrender. The alter ego of Shandy founder Thomas Parer, Sweaty Baby serves groove-heavy disco, house, camp pop edits and left-field heaters - equal parts joy, mischief and dancefloor democracy.

Thomas started SHANDY in 2019 with a dream: to build a q***r dance party that’s joyful, sweaty, and soaked in community care. Since then, he’s torn up venues across Magan-djin/Brisbane and the country from the dark dancefloor of BBL to the glittering lights of Sydney Mardi Gras After Party - with sets that lure you in and leave you soaked, smiling, and slightly out of breath 💃💦

Deep grooves. Camp classics. Euphoric highs. No dry collars.

Doors at 7PM - get in early and surrender to the sweat.

And who better to welcome you to The Best Room than this city's hardest working city councillor and sonic superstar, the inimitable Cr Black Amex (aka Trina Massey): groove-driven, vinyl-loving, and utterly committed to moving people - in every sense of the word.

Cutting her teeth at private parties spinning B-sides of melodic funk and disco, Cr Black Amex built her sound the old-fashioned way - crate by crate, side by side, needle to wax. An avid vinyl collector and freewheeling selector, she brings warmth, rhythm and a certain civic-minded swagger to every set.

From the halls of government to the heart of the dancefloor, she’s proof that you can pass motions by day and pass the aux by night - and still keep the groove intact.

Expect celebratory selections. Expect deep cuts. Expect to feel seen, served, and soundtracked accordingly.

This is an increasingly rare set from this much-loved party starter. Grab your ticket NOW via Humanitix: don’t miss your chance to be represented in The Best Room. 💥

Tonight, as we gallop head-first into a year of heat, movement and untamed momentum, Shandy is inviting you to set the dancefloor ablaze for THE BEST ROOM 🎉

For one nught only, we've honed and crafted the finest room available because we are welcoming some extra special guests: all the way from London via Athens, please welcome the dynamic duo known as…

🩳✨ BOYS' SHORTS ✨🩳


Fast, fearless, and fuelled by pure dancefloor instinct, Boys’ Shorts will be helping us to kick off the Year of the Fire Horse with a sound built for motion - disco, house, slow techno and acid woven into high-gloss, body-moving journeys designed to *make people dance*.

Hailing from Greece and now splitting time between London and the global underground, Boys’ Shorts have lit up floors from Panorama Bar to Good Room, House of YES to WECANDANCE — always with fire in their hooves and sweat on the ceiling.

They’ve released music on influential labels including Phantasy, HE.SHE.THEY., Polari Records, Permanent Vacation, Future Disco, Iptamenos Discos, Live at Robert Johnson, and Correspondant. Boys’ Shorts have delivered remixes for a diverse and high-profile list of artists including Alison Goldfrapp, Hot Chip, Nick Warren, Poolside, Yuksek x Polo & Pan, Kasper Bjørke, Woolfy, Boy George, Daddy Squad x Zoot Woman, Casey Spooner, Joe Goddard and more.

The Fire Horse is about freedom, confidence, and charging forward without hesitation - and we can't think of a better pair to help us gallop boldly into a new year 🐎

Red envelopes optional. Red-hot dancefloor guaranteed. 🧧🪩

Grab your ticket now to channel your inner horse under the disco ball this Saturday night 😘

TICKETS FROM $15 VIA LINK IN BIO 🔗

Every home has that special room where the treasured possessions reside — you may know it as “the pool room” or the “Good Room” — a place of pride, joy, and precious memories.

Five years ago, Shandy boldly asked: what if we took the “Good Room”… and cranked it up a notch — with a bangin’ soundtrack and a roomful of sexy q***rs?

The answer? Some of the sexiest, wildest and q***rest parties West End had seen in years.
Now, finally, we’re ready to bring that signature Shandy dancefloor magic back for…

THE BEST ROOM feat. Boys’ Shorts (GR/LDN)

After FIVE LONG YEARS, Shandy returns to our spiritual (and actual lol) home of West End — and for such a special occasion, there’s only one place to host our prodigal return. We’re heading straight to the pool room of Kurilpa’s newest pleasure palace: Mirrorball Ministries

We couldn’t imagine a better setting to welcome our international guests, hailing from London via Greece, delivering their sexy, disco-infused sound beneath one of the biggest disco balls we’ve ever seen…

✨ BOYS’ SHORTS ✨


Named one of The New York Times’ “5 Artists to Watch” in 2025, Boys’ Shorts are Greek duo Vangelis (LAGASTA) and Tareq. Blending house, slow techno, disco and acid, their productions reflect the full spectrum of their DJ sets.

With releases on Phantasy, HE.SHE.THEY., Polari, Permanent Vacation - plus remixes for Alison Goldfrapp, Hot Chip, Poolside, Yuksek x Polo & Pan and Boy George - they’ve lit up Berghain/Panorama Bar, E1, Le Bain, Basement.

In the support slots, we’ve enlisted two of West End’s biggest champions:
💦 SWEATY BABY () to get the floor loose and limber
💳 CR BLACK AMEX () serving up an increasingly rare set guaranteed to knock your socks off.

This is one of our last events before we take some time to rest and recover - don’t miss your chance to fill your belly and quench your thirst with these delicious disco delights.

Fortunately, we've got the cure for what ails ya - in just TWO days, .party and invite you to ignore your responsibilities just a little bit longer with a seasonal celebration we're calling...

🌭💦 BIG SUMMER BLOWOUT: REDUX feat. ketia (BLN) ☀️🏊
saturday 17 January ’26 | 4pm - 1am
💸 Entry fee is $15 before 7pm, and $20 after 💸

We've lined up the ultimate trifecta to soothe the burn of your 9 to 5:
1) a BBQ of snags (including vegie options) [while stocks last];
2) a pool to splash about in; and
3) supreme sonic selections from the city's finest, PLUS superstar international DJ

You've already met the DJs who'll be taking it deeper in the Basement, so please welcome the trio who'll be kicking things off in the Courtyard from 4PM sharp:

☀️ MILO PALMA ☀️


Milo is an electronic music curator with a deep passion for the global dance music scene, who's developed a refined taste rooted in 90s and 2000s dance music, blended seamlessly with contemporary underground influences.

His sets deliver an eclectic mix of house, tech house, and techno, designed for those who love to lose themselves in the music. Drawing inspiration from darker tones and hypnotic grooves, he crafts experiences that move the soul and elevate the atmosphere.

🏊‍♀️ JOAN THING 🏊‍♀️


Joan Thing is a vibrant part of Brisbane’s dance-floor ecosystem, shaped by years soaking up music across curated dance floors and open-air parties. Her sound is rooted in house, drifting through deep, techy, disco-leaning, acid-tinged, and Brazilian-flavoured rhythms. Her sets move with intention, where feel and flow are essential to creating playful, dynamic, and connected dance floors that keep bodies bumping.

💦 NEJMERE 💦


Nejmere (she/her) is a magandjin based dj/mixologist of everything soft and wet. You can expect her dance floor to be slick with sweat and full with all your crushes. Nejmere is an igniter of passions and of weaver of connections.

saturday 17 January ’26 | 4pm - 1am
💸 entry: $15 before 7pm, $20 after

The Summer heat in Magan-djin brings with it a heady blend of sweltering humidity, lush sun-kissed memories, and a slight delirium that gets people all hot and bothered (in the good way).

As a healing balm, we’ve decided to throw a party to celebrate this moment: when Summer flings are in full force, the days are long and languorous, and all you need is a dip in the pool and a sausage in some bread to set the whole world right.

Shandy joins forces once again with echo & bounce to serve up a suburban backyard BBQ fantasy right in the heart of the city: snags (meat and veg), an above-ground pool to dunk yourself in, and a courtyard full of sweaty possibility - before descending downstairs at twilight for a proper, sweat-fuelled frenzy.

Soundtracking our journey from golden hour to full-bodied night sweats is a lush crew of local selectors:

And as the heat is peaking, we welcome a truly special guest to close things out with a three-hour basement session from 10pm…

✨ KETIA ✨


Fresh off a mind-melting closing set at the Tropical Fruits NYD Pool Party on Bundjalung Country, ketia lands in Magan-djin via Lisbon and Berlin with a sound rooted in rave devotion, genre-fluid curiosity, and an unshakeable commitment to community on the dancefloor. Expect precision, groove, tenderness, and release - bangers only, always.

They build community the same way they build a set: with intention, curiosity, and a lot of heart.

This one’s a celebration of summer flings, long nights, and one of the last chances to dance with us before Shandy takes a well-earned hiatus soon 👀🕵️

💸 Entry fee is $15 before 7pm, and $20 after 💸
PLUS:
~ Free entry for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples and Trans Women (Femme Queens) of Colour
~ Low/no income? Message us — we’ll work something out.

Shandy dances on the unceded lands of the Yuggera, Jagera & Turrbal peoples. Always was, always will be.
