SEXYLAND

As I’ve gotten older I’ve started to reminisce more and more on what it felt like to be a child. What it felt like to go to sleepovers and come up with oftentimes awkward and sometimes inappropriate dance routines to Destiny’s Child songs with my friends- only to realise the meaning behind the lyrics eight years later. There’s a bittersweet nostalgia that elevates memories of Brick and Lace and loving their music, only to be banned from listening to it by reasonably flustered parents, that makes me softly place them on pedestals in the chamber of my memory. 

As my friends and I turn 21 this year we wondered what we truly wanted to celebrate and what we value most. Eventually we realised it was our childhoods, how they shaped us and how important music was to us then and now. No one growing up in the 2000s can forget how desperately they tried to go to Swedish House Mafia’s last concert, or the distinctive beat of Party Rock Anthem. 

The world has changed drastically since the short time ago we were children and relatively carefree. Now more than ever it seems important to come together and celebrate shared experiences. The way music of the early 2000s brought us all together in a sense of fellowship and a lightheartedness it seems hard to find now is the way we have chosen to do that. As such, this is our reason for the theme and our central concept: a moment to step back as a group and to both reflect and celebrate what has passed, through the medium of music. Admittedly it is partly selfish as it speaks to our generation more than others, but we earnestly believe it will be valuable and important to have a night where everyone can embrace the music that reminds us of what it truly means to be carefree in that vibrant glow of childhood. A bonding experience for us and the community as a whole. 

Our hope is to let two up and coming DJs showcase their skills as they try to seamlessly blend tracks together, from Jay Z to the Fugees. We plan on having a number of photographers with distinctively differing styles there to experiment and document everyone’s outfits, which are also supposed to be Y2K themed.
