Get ready, Brisbane – One of the biggest names in house music is returning to Australia, Felix Da Housecat will bring his unique blend of house, techno, acid & electro beats for a reunion of the highest order – that’s right, the iconic MONASTERY crew are back in full effect for two incredible reunion shows!
MONASTERY was one of the great night clubs that ushered in a second golden era for house music in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. Felix Da Housecat was a firm favourite, playing the venue twice over the years – his track ‘Silver Screen’ was a Monastery anthem and was amongst the final music that was played on the closing night.

With a career spanning over three decades, multiple Grammy nominations, and countless hits under his belt, this iconic DJ is sure to deliver two unforgettable experiences for us all. Felix's breakout hit 'Thee Dawn' on William Orbit's Guerilla label was just the beginning. Quickly followed by 'Thee Underground Made Me Do It,' and 'In Thee Dark We Live', Felix cemented himself as a force to be reckoned with in the techno community. Continuing to release highly acclaimed tracks throughout the 90s, he also founded Radikal Fear Records, a world-renowned tech / acid house label featuring Chicago greats such as DJ Sneak, Mike Dunn & Armando, not to mention Felix himself.

We’ve selected some of the DJ’s who featured heavily at MONASTERY over the years to support. Come and reunite with all your favourite MONASTERY DJs, bar/door/security staff, managers, owners and promoters – the gang’s all here for an epic night of memories to cherish forever. Get ready to groove, Brisbane, because Felix Da Housecat is coming for you!!! Tickets on sale now – be quick as these will not last long!
