past events

There is an assumption in party culture that it has to be big to be good. We disagree. Some of our best experiences have been really small. Exotic locations, good mates, small clean setups, create good times.

1. OUr story starts... Jun-2020

It began with four mates having a chat about parties. Whilst we would go to festivals from time to time, Canberra has always been a place where it is desirable to create your own entertainment. We decided to chip in a grand each to buy some speakers and a mixer. An old mate helped us out by selling us a few lights. We bought a cheap fold-up table and a small generator. We were ready to go...

2. RPG 1 JUn-2020

It's June 2020 and Canberra is the middle of lockdown. Gatherings of more than 20 people are not allowed. So we run a small party of 10 people to test our equipment. Adam DJ's a 13 hour set of chillgressive and progressive psy-trance.

3. RPG 2 AUG-2020

We had such fun at our first event, despite its small size, that we decided to run another one two months later. This time, we invited Pann and Stavtek to play, who also invited a couple of friends, and we had a party this time of 20 people.

4. RPG 3 NYE 2020-2021

We worked in conjunction with Aztek Productions to increase the size of our production this time, and we ran a New Years Party. This was a free unticketed party with only a small amount of promotion on the day. We had a small but happy crowd of 30 people.

Whilst the main festival was postponed until December, a small trial project was run in June with some beautiful people.

7. RPG 6 twitch events winter-2021

Lockdown was in full force in the winter of 2021, and no outdoor gatherings were allowed.

14. RPG 11 Return to the diamond Planet Aug-2023

This party was the real deal. A ticketed event with larger production, promotion and participants. We teamed up with Lovelution Entertainment who brought a marquee, additional lights, decor and sound, as well as helping with graphic design and promotion. A crowd of 50 people turned up to this one. We invested more into our project both before and after this event, purchasing the rest of our PA, a industrial DJ table, and a large amount of incidental items such as tables, cables, extension leads, kitchen setup, tarps, and similar. We also began working on our promotional architecture, team building for the crew, ticketing engines and similar.

15. RPG 12 Drum & techno Jan-2024

Drum and Techno was an awesome party for us. Held in January 2024 in the High Brindabellas, it was a challenging drive for everyone to get up there, but worth the trip. Fantastic performances from our artists as well as a stunning location, awesome food and great people made this a night to remember!
