๐ฅ Circles ร ๐ OVERSEAS PARTY โ Underground Social Club Experience ๐
Mr B's, Corner Pitt street and Goulburn Street. 396 Pitt Street, Sydney, AUThis is not a normal club night.
And itโs definitely not a โstand around with a drinkโ meetup.
This is a rare collaboration between Circles โ known for turning strangers into real friends โ and OVERSEAS PARTY, one of Sydneyโs most respected underground East-Asian hip-hop brands.Together, weโre creating something that honestly doesnโt exist anywhere else.
***
### ๐ What Makes This Different
Most people either:
- go to a meetup and never dance
- or go to a club and never actually meet anyone
This event combines both worlds โ properly.
First:
You meet people naturally through Circlesโ signature ice-breakers, hosted games, and friendly introductions.No awkward cold approaches. No forced networking.
Then:
Once the energy is flowing, OVERSEAS takes over โ underground DJs, rare sounds, and global hip-hop culture you wonโt hear at mainstream clubs.You donโt just dance next to people.
You dance with people you actually met.***
### ๐ถ Music & Vibe
Each week is different โ you never know who youโll meet or what youโll hear.
Expect:
- Asian & US/UK hip-hop
- K-pop & East-Asian underground sounds
- Unheard edits, club energy, zero cheesy playlists
Some nights include DJs only.
Other nights include live artists or special guests.
Thatโs part of the magic.***
### ๐ค Who Comes to This?
- People who usually come solo
- International & local crowd
- Creatives, music lovers, culture-hunters
- People bored of generic clubs and stale meetups
If youโve ever thought:
> โI wish I could make friends before the dance floorโ
This is literally that.
***
### ๐ Venue
Club 396 (Mr B's Downstairs)
396 Pitt Street, Sydney CBD
A true underground nightclub setting โ dark, intimate, high-energy.***
### โ ๏ธ Why You Shouldnโt Wait
This is not a recurring โforeverโ event.
These collaborations happen rarely, and each one is different.
Youโre not coming for just one night.
Youโre stepping into a scene.***
### โจ Come for the connections.
### ๐ฅ Stay for the music.
### ๐ค Meet people youโll actually see again.
