Even if you think you don't know Dreems, if you live in Sydney and have been to a club in the last decade, then you know him. Real name Angus Gruzman, he came to prominence on the city's clubbing circuit in the mid 00s as Gus Da Hoodrat with theBang Gangcrew. More recently he's been dropping techno bombs as The Finger Prince at Motorik parties, and when Boiler Room came to town last month he hosted the Sydney party on his rooftop where he unveiled his latest pseudonym, Dreems (and played a blinder of a set - listen here).
This weekend Gruzman plays all night long for Picnic's One Night Stand series, which is sure to go down as a night to remember for many. In anticipation of his set we asked him to share five of his favourite clubbing moments in this fair city.
1. Sydney Festival Picnic After party at GoodGod with Andrew Weatherall
2. Bang Gang
"All of it, but if I had to pick one, the closing party at 77. That was...emotional."
3. The first Sydney Dance Party at The Abercrombie
"It spawned a new breed of terrace vibes."
4. Clambake at Lady Jane Beach
"Who can't dig nudity and good music as the sun rises over the harbour?"
5. Ewan Pearson in the Chinese Laundry cave circa 2004
"I may not remember the exact date, but I remember the vibe and it was mental."
