The Sydney-based trendsetting record label Surveillance Party is set to take over Oxford Art Factory for a second time with an event appropriately titled Lockout.

Organised in response to the ongoing lockout laws that have hamstrung Sydney’s nightlife and entertainment industry, Lockout will see both rooms at the mighty OAF filled with live music and forward-thinking dance beats, alongside stunning visual projections, live performance art and some 500 futuristic multichannel remote headphones, shipped in especially so Surveillance Party attendees can dance their way into the wee hours.

Artists on the bill include DnB star Royalston, Nam Shub Of Enki, Sam Joole, No Illuminati and many more local up-and-comers.

The venue owner Mark Gerber said, “After my first encounter with Surveillance Party using the OAF, I was immediately struck by the creative diversity and multimedia they presented to the public …Their flair for putting on multi tiered, multi functional events resonates perfectly with the foundation and driving force behind the OAF concept. Live Music and the Arts are vital mediums that people need to be exposed to in their everyday lives – they sooth the savage beast in all of us, they help create new and exciting paths for people to adhere to and to explore.”

Lockout lands at Oxford Art Factory on Saturday November 12. Tickets are on sale now via Moshtix.
