Where Were You – A Ron Hardy Documentary Fundrasier Party
Doors 20:00
‘I Was There’ is a documentary in the making on Ron Hardy and the Rise of House Music from Chicago and the Midwest. The film’s aim is to keep Ron’s story alive for future generations as well as putting House’s narrative back in the hands of its originators.
The film will explore the early evolution of House and music as a response to inequality, racism, Reaganomics, the AIDS crisis and civil unrest.
All entry fees will go towards shooting the film’s next interview Chicago in November with the legendary Robert Williams – the man responsible for giving Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles their starts, as the founder of The Muzic Box and The Warehouse.
The film is being made with the collaboration and supervision of Bill Hardy and the Hardy Family. Dress to sweat. Doors open at 20:00 Pitch teaser for the film in the links below featuring interviews with Robert Owens and Jamie 3:26.

14/03 Rings of Neptune
Rings of Neptune has been curating showcases and intimate gatherings since its inception five years ago. From audiophile havens like Amsterdam’s Doka and Berlin’s Club der Visionaere to larger dancefloors and festivals across Europe, the agency-turned-collective has consistently highlighted artists with refined musical sensibilities and remarkable talent. Now, for the first time, Rings of Neptune brings its signature atmosphere to Fitzroy—an intimate space for a close-knit gathering of like-minded artists who share a deep passion for their craft. For this edition, Rings of Neptune invites Berlin-based french artist Lamache. Through years of touring and his projects—Discobar, Plantasia, and now Anima—Thibault has built a legacy of musical storytelling, crafting sets that take listeners on a journey. His deep connection to the craft and instinctive approach make him a truly special guest for this occasion.
15/03 Midgar & friends : livwutang all night long
Midgar is back at Fitzroy, after a number of collaborations with Patterns of Perception, amenthia, and Mostra Festival, we're expanding our universe—inviting artists who are bringing forth new approaches to storytelling through DJing. Giving them an extended time to unfold their vision of a club night feels like the right way to do it. We are honored to invite livwutang for the debut night of this new series. Listening to livwutang play feels personal—like being invited into her world. Her patience, deep connection to the craft, and instinct for storytelling make every set a journey. That’s why she’s the perfect artist for an allnighter, giving her space to roam freely and masterfully shape the trajectory of the night from start to finish. Our priority is to create a space where diversity is celebrated and inclusivity is paramount. We ask you to maintain a mindful attitude and to respect the boundaries and needs of others. Above all, we ask you to prioritise kindness and respect for all as we create a welcoming, safe space together.
