Partiboi69: Back on the Road NY Tour Show with Proper Villains and Amy Jor

If you're not having fun while raving, what's the point? Australia's madman of the rave, Partiboi69, doesn't take much seriously except for the job of party commander. He serves up a wild, high energy, high BPM dose of techno, ghetto tech, electro, and '90s rave heaters backed by his wacky green screen visuals, dance moves, and facial expressions. There's a reason his viral fame has only continued to grow; the energy he brings to his absurd internet antics and livestreams are matched and leveled up in his IRL DJ sets.

After an epic debut in 2022 at Quantum in Brooklyn, Partiboi69 returns to New York, this time in The Room at Brooklyn's beloved Superior Ingredients. Gray Area is thrilled to host our favorite outrageous Aussie again, and we can guarantee that you'll have a good time with him behind the decks.

2022 was a massive year for Partiboi69's massive personality, which saw him bring his outback porn star aesthetic and banging beats to beloved global dance festivals like Movement, Sónar, Melt, We Love Green Festival and more. He was an in-demand rager captain at clubs worldwide, including London's fabric, Berlin's Berghain, Ibiza's Amnesia, Detroit's Magic Stick, Barcelona's Nitsa, and Frankfurt's Robert Johnson.

His world domination continues in 2023, stopping stateside in Brooklyn at the end of April and then 69-ing his way across the U.S.A. to takeoff once again in Southern California at Desert Hearts Festival. His artist bio reads: "Partiboi69's only objective is to spread digital love and deliver lethal 69 techniques live and direct to your senses." New York life can be a grind, so perhaps all you need to get some much need decompression is "digital love and deliver lethal 69 techniques."

The Australian dance scene is rich and ever-creative, and Partiboi is a result of and exemplar of that expressive, free, and upbeat outback energy. He came onto the scene as Stingray in 2016 and began building a buzz in the Aussie underground scene and online with his off-the-wall YouTube channel, which currently has 193,000 subscribers. In 2018, Partiboi69 was born, along with his '80s porn star meets dad meets hilarious guy at the afterparty aesthetic.

Unprotected Records is the home for his wacky musical experimentations, unfiltered and 100 percent 69. Like the rest of his catalog, his Unprotected releases are eclectic, fun, and high energy, including "Booty Flow," "Always Keep It 69," "Ketamine Dreams," and "Nissan Skyline." He also runs Mutual Pleasure Records, where he releases tracks from other rave purveyors and collabs like "Freq U All Nite" with Kettama and "K On My D + C" with Juicy Romance.

At one point in every raver's life, they should have to ask, "Will Partiboi69 tear off his pants?" "Will there be sexy visuals at the party?" "Will I ever stop laughing?" See you at The Room at Superior Ingredients on April 28.

No Partiboi69 show would be complete without some equally vivacious support acts to get the madness going. We're pulling out all the stops with two of New York's finest.

Proper Villians has spent two decades politely destroying conventional wisdom and writing whatever he wants. His catalog brims with genre-spanning gems from dubstep to drum & bass, tech house to breakbeat, minimal to trap. And despite his meandering genre fluidity, his music still carries a cohesive string. It’s why his music appears on esteemed labels like Box of Cats, HE.SHE.THEY, and Fool’s Gold. It’s also why artists like Honey Dijon have remixed for him, and industry giants like Eat’s Everything sing his praises.

Amy Jor is a staple of the New York club scene. She’s regularly called upon to warm the floor up at hotspots like Elsewhere, House Of Yes, and Knockdown Center. Her genre-spanning sets, ranging from moody deep house to sub-sweltering electro, have set the tone for the likes of Chris Lorenzo, Tinlicker, Steve Darko, and Gabriel & Dresden.
