Sweaty bodies moved as one unified entity as they danced the night away, and as the clock struck 3am and lockout laws forced us all out the door, there was an air of disappointment, as revelers were begging for more.

More What So Not More What So Not

It was an extravaganza of epic proportions on Saturday night at The Ivy's Pacha, as the much-hyped Sydney electronic duo What So Not took the stage.

A crowd of hundreds lined up for hours outside The Ivy, hoping to snag themselves one of the few remaining tickets being sold on the door, but a lot left empty-handed as the club reached capacity.

But those who did manage to make it into Pacha were treated to a production that pulled out all the stops. It was very Vegas-esque, complete with acrobats dangling above the crowd – within touching distance – and dancing showgirls lining the verandahs.

The trap beats being thrown down by What So Not's Emoh (Chris Emerson), who was later joined by the other half of the duo, Flume (Harley Streten) were loved by the jam-packed crowd, who got down to the likes of Jaguar and Tell Me. The energy in the room was electric, and although What So Not didn't come on until 12.30am, the crowd, were at the absolute peak of excitement and could not get enough of them.

Golden Features was the other standout of the night, as he dropped some mind-blowing dance beats that had the entire crowd dancing and sufficiently warmed up for the main act that was to follow.

Early arrivers were treated to beats from the likes of Danny T and Matt Nugent, while the night was ended by A-Tonez, all of whom delivered stellar performances. Sweaty bodies moved as one unified entity as they danced the night away, and as the clock struck 3am and lockout laws forced us all out the door, there was an air of disappointment, as revelers were begging for more.
