The Chill Out Zone is a relaxing little sanctuary away from the dancefloor where you can go to rest, down-regulate and take a break at any point you feel called to during the evening.
Coz let’s face it - dancing and raving all night is hard work!
The Chill Out Zone will be decked out with heeeeaps of matting, rugs, bolsters, chairs, pillows and blankets for ultimate comfort. Think giant pillow fort vibes.

DJ Lains (a.k.a. me, hahah)
Playing the 7:30-8:45pm and 12:15-1:30am sets
I began DJing at the start of 2025, with a desire to elevate the quality of my ecstatic dance events.
I spent the first 2 years running these events as a Spotify DJ, creating playlists on my phone, pluggin ‘em in and going for it. Humble beginnings.
As a DJ, I’m known for my hype. My sets are always a wild adventure, with the core intention of feeling the high of your own supply.
I mainly play dubstep, dance pop, R&B, house/afrohouse and trance, but every now and then I throw in a cheeky hardstyle or techno banger if the mood is right.
The ecstacy of your own God-given aliveness is what you’ll find, dancing with me.
DJ J.J
Playing the 9:30-11:30pm set
J.J began his DJing journey in 2004, specialising in PsyTrance and falling in love with the freedom of the Australian bush, huge sound systems, open skies, and dancefloors under the stars.
As the scene evolved, so did he. J.J moved into house, tech, melodic and afro house, always following the sounds that ignited something within.
Known for blending rhythm, emotion, and an intuitive feel for the crowd, he brings a journey-like quality to every set.

Nope - we have the venue all to ourselves. The venue will be completely closed to public.
A completely private, secluded oasis to party in. Can I get a FK YEAHHHH?

All you need to bring are two things:
WARM LAYERS (jacket, jumper) for later in the night, in case it gets cold
ENCLOSED FIRM-FITTING FOOTWEAR (i.e. sneakers, joggers, etc). Sandals, slides or otherwise loose-fitting shoes are NOT safe to wear while dancing. You might be able to go barefoot, but in case of bindies please still wear your enclosed footwear.
-
Yes! There is a large toilet block available at our spot and plenty of filtered water at the conscious bar.
-
We’ll have an array of beautiful, vibey, warm lighting around the venue that has been tested and approved by the Operations Team of the Regatta Centre to ensure its to safety standards.
Think festoon fairy lights galore, colourful aurora light projectors, lamps, and LED floodlights + lighting strips around areas that need extra visibility (e.g. food and drink area, pathways to toilets, car park, etc).
-
Whilst I cannot guarantee that the grassed area we’re dancing on will be a perfectly level surface, it’s pretty darn level.
The food and drink area is concreted and completely level.
-
Of course! This Doof is safe and accessible for ANY body.
Having said that, there may be obstacles at the venue that we’ll need to work around.

-
Of course! This Doof is safe for and open to everybody.
No, you do not need to be energetic, limber, extroverted, confident… all you need to be is yourself.
And even if being yourself is precisely what you’re afraid of,
that’s okay too.This Doof is an expectations, judgement, and fucks-FREE zone. Come exactly as you are, with all your humanness intact – we gotchu homie!
