Adelaide’s newest live music venue Big Window opened its doors on the weekend, with the intimate Hindley Street space set to shine a spotlight on house, disco and hip-hop as it further establishes itself in the coming months.
The 100-capacity room hosted US DJ Darshan Jesrani on Saturday night, with owner-operator Matthew Khabbaz telling theMusic.com.au the late-night hang aims to introduce punters to new music and more niche genres.
“It’s got to be a place for music lovers, it’s got to be a place for people to come together and have and experience; rather than just going out and having a party,” Khabbaz said.
“Hearing music that you can’t just access on the radio, or seeing artists that might be a little bit more difficult to see or you may just not even know them.”
Frequently travelling to Europe and the US, Khabbaz and business partner Paul Glens will curate the venue’s events schedule in relation to trends they see overseas.
The venue’s green room also contains a studio, where touring acts will be encouraged to record, while its central location sees the potential of high-profile after-parties, with a 5am close.
