Melbourne's smokiest slow dance party returns to Castlemaine!
We play the slowest, spookiest, sweetest, swinginest old records we can find, and people dance real slow in a haze of smoke and dim red lights. It's a good time. Join us in the smoke filled dreamland that is SLOW GRIND FEVER for an evening of finger snapping rhythm 'n' blues, smoochy low-rider soul, jazzy popcorn, sultry slow-funk burners and uncategorizable moody melters, all sizzling off of antique discs brought to you by slow grind regulars Richie1250 and Aperol Ritz alongside Main FM's Steph Riddel and Ali T.
Saturday October 5th at The Bridge Hotel, 9PM-1AM

SLOW GRIND FEVER returns to our roots with an undergound (but upstairs) DIY BYO house party style affair above a picket fence shop in industrial Brunswick. For this special SLOW GRIND FEVER 1964-2024 EDITION, we have Richie1250, Earl Grey and Milo Eastwood rotating half hour slots all night long, with each DJ packing a nice 60 year span of sultry music to choose from. 
Sat Sep 14th, 9pm-3am
BYO BOOZE (Paper cups and ice to put in them provided)
NOTES:
- There will be a smoke machine going all night and it will get very smokey. The smoke is non-toxic but if you ain't into smoke machines this might not be the party for you...
- The dancefloor at Slow Grind is for dancing. If you need to use your phone, please do it over in the hallway or go outside and get some fresh air. (We don't mind you taking a quick photo or video to post up later on, but standing in the middle of the dancefloor staring down at your phone is poor Slow Grind etiquette)
- Slow Grind is not specifically a partnered dancing event. Some people dance with a partner, some with a group of friends, some alone with their eyes closed. You can do it how you wanna.
- The vibe of the night is very hazy and sultry, but the vibe is also about having good manners. Don't be all up in someone's personal space if they aren't inviting you.

Sat Jun 29th SLOW GRIND FEVER slips into perhaps the sultriest decade of them all, 1969-1979, for the inaugral SLOW GRIND 70s. Bliss out in a puffy cloud of hot tub disco, honey-dripping lovers rock, adults-only AOR and torrid southern soul slow burners, all pitched to go straight to the hips. We've finally succeeded in a decade long campaign to get Northside Records / RRR icon Chris Gill behind the slow grind decks, and we can't wait to GET DOWN slow and low to his selections. This inaugral 70s editition also sees the return of DJ Jeepster, as well as Slow Grind 80s regular Brontesaurus Sex, who slayed the 70s set at last years special SLOW GRINDING THROUGH THE DECADES dance. For extra spice, we'll pepper the night with performance arté by slow grind dancefloor angel Chanelle Rogers and sultry chanteusing by Steph "Sugar Breath" Brett of Sugar Fed Leopards. It should be a night to remember.
