see you soon 💕
New EP from @eal.ng has arrived... feeling blessed and honoured to share this amazing work from Taipei-via-Eora artist.
'Revelry is a Gateway to the Valley Above the World'
Written and mixed by ealing in Sydney and Taipei
Vocals on Stars Flash Bare (上and 下) written and performed by Enryka
Mastered by Darren Zeising at Millenium Mastering
Artwork drawn by Sim Cheuanghane
Available now on Bandcamp 💿
This EP marks Ippei Nakamura’s debut, and we are delighted to have him showcase his music to our audience. His sound is characterised by inorganic drums and saturated high frequencies. Influenced by experimental and bass music, Ippei aims to create challenging sounds that are guided by his upbringing in Hiroshima, Japan. These tracks are club-ready, introspective pieces of music that urge the listener to engage within.
General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.
released September 5, 2025
Produced by Ippei Nakamura
Mixed by Ippei Nakamura
Mastered by Darren Ziesing
Artwork by Sydney Jarrett
Genie's mix from March 15 w/ @yungsanta and @ben_bondy is now up on our SoundCloud 📍

Performed and recorded on Gadigal land. Always was, always will be.
💞
That party 2 (or 3) weekends ago felt special... A lineup we could only have dreamt of 2 (or 3) years ago...
So much love to the amazing artists and everyone involved in making it a memorable night <3
Thank you all for coming, and for your continued support of what we do 💞 it means the world
It's time for us to slow down, and take a break... we're not sure if or when we'll be back, but we'll be seeing you around, finally off the clock ☆
GM Bandcamp will be receiving some updates this year though, so keep an eye out for upcoming releases (probably towards the end of this year).
Next up with a very special lineup 🥰 we've been fans of Ben and Shy since we did our first party, so it's safe to say we're very excited to finally be hosting these two...
And who else could be more fitting than the number #1 [email protected] 🙀
As always @verticalconsumer on the poster 📝

1. (noun). A feeling, a movement, a way of life. The energy you feel when you walk into the rave, a room full of strangers, yet… they feel like family. The ability to free your mind, body and soul, and lose yourself to the dance.
2. (noun). A new 12 hr party at The Bridge Hotel, by boof, Bump!, General Merchant & Safari Park on the 21st of February.

If the ticket price is a barrier to attendance, pls reach out in advance for pay-what-you-can tickets. We’d also like to extend free entry to Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and First Nations folk, please get in touch if this is you.
With plur <3
We’d like to acknowledge that this event will be held on stolen Wangal and Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

Thank you all so much for giving your time and energy to help make this happen <3
Lighting and design for main stage was birthed from a collaboration between @pedg.e and @em.ulation 🤝 sound professionally executed by @translate.sound with tuning & constant sound tech-ing by @kashmere_lopp
Design for the chill out room was beautifully crafted by @adrianabeach with sound support from @safaripark_ - thank you Adriana, Jo, and Jon for crafting a much needed haven for the duration of the night!
Design for NYD once again was the brainchild of @em.ulation with sound by @buzzspeakerhire with @o__wes and @kashmere_lopp making sure it sounded fresh all day.
Shout out to our wonderful safety angels and door staff for keeping everyone safe and inside :P
The DJs :0

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Saturday to celebrate our local infrastructure.
Specific shout outs to Jordan, Mungo, Sophia, Maria and Elly who offered their brains muscles and time before, during and after the event. More love and thanks to our Safety Angels and the sunrise crew who helped us pack things in. We seriously couldn't have done that packdown without all those trusty helping hands 💖
Of course @verticalconsumer on the poster as always
And massive admiration to the 3 artists ✷
@lillygrainger@skinny.tony@waterporrfin.jacet
This gathering took place on Gadigal land. Always was always will be Aboriginal land. We were able to donate $440 (10% of total ticket sales) to pay the rent.
