Get ready to feel the music — literally. Amplio Rocks! Deaf Club and Dance Party is set to rock you out of your socks when it makes its way back to Melbourne — but with a twist.
As a new initiative this year, attendees of this event will be able to use Amplio, a new app specifically designed for those who are d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing. This pumping party showdown comes alive with bold visuals such as music videos, sign-and-dance-along moments, giant onscreen lyrics, and choreography you can follow without missing a beat.
Centre stage is the star attraction, featuring a vibrating dancefloor, so partygoers can ride every thump, pulse and drop.
Leading the spectacle is acclaimed Deaf author and artist Asphyxia, who’ll crack open behind-the-scenes secrets of visual music, turning tech magic and rhythm into something you can see and feel. You may even leave inspired to host your own d/Deaf-friendly rave.
So whether you’re quick on your feet or always on beat, this is a night for you to enjoy an exciting musical journey and immerse yourself into this pulsing sensation. Come sign your heart out and show off your best moves. It’s inclusive, high-voltage and guaranteed to leave you buzzing long after the floor stops vibrating.
