Mondays

"HOSPO NIGHT" -  RARE AND UNIQUE SPIRITS ON SHOW

The Sceptre have long been a Monday night haunt for hospitality staff looking to wind down from the weekend and enjoy the service of our staff, fixing quality drinks from our award winning 500+ back bar range that is the envy of most of the country.

Often we have the comment across the bar "Wow, what is that bottle, where is it from?" which of course we love because it gives us a chance to show our passion and knowledge.

To celebrate the industry and the great people who work in it, we are announcing the start of The Sceptre's "Hospo Night"

Every Monday we will be pulling down a couple of the rare and hard to find spirits and offering them at a price that allows you to experience them without breaking the budget for the week.

Try them neat or maybe indulge in a super premium turn of the century classic cocktail.

Each week's selection will be announced on the event with the special price & some background on the product.

We've also got the Free Pool Table all night, Funky Beats from our resident selecta's behind the bar and of course our regular $12.90 Coopers Jugs and $25 Sauza Margarita Jugs all night.

Come let down your hair in style and let us look after YOU for once!

Deeper presents 

KILL YOUR IDOL 

featuring international guests KINKY MOVEMENT (UK) and DIMITRI MAX (US) along with Adelaide's best! 

A celebration of the global house music movement! Kill Your Idol is back for 2012 after a sellout event on Boxing Day with house music legends Joey Negro (UK). With this edition, the Deeper crew welcome shining lights of the international house music scene. Kinky Movement (UK) and Dimitri Max (US/France) are both coming off a huge 2011 on the production front and are set to raise the bar even higher in 2012. 

Kinky Movement are a trio of Dj's and Producers from Nottingham England. Andrew Mcloughlin, Lee Eden and John Symms have been releasing their music on the world's top deep house labels since 2004 (including Tango, Drop, Amenti, Myna and So Sound. In 2007 Andy and Eden launched there own label Replay Recordings which now has 12 releases to its name. This year they have also launched a new sub label called Re-edit which has so far shown success receiving plays from some of the top Dj's in the business. http://soundcloud.com/kinky-movement 

Moving to the States from Paris in the mid 90's, DJ/producer Dimitri Max was quickly influenced by the music coming out of Chicago and Detroit. Soon after honing his skills on the decks, he went on to organise events in the DC area and quickly garnered enough attention to land him a spot on XM Satellite Radio's 'The Move'. It wasn't long until Dimitri produced the underground hit 'Lazy Afternoon' which drew attention from the likes of Josh Wink & Lauren Garnier. Dimitri Max, an ever-evolving talent, is pushing his passion and bringing real house music back to the forefront. http://soundcloud.com/dimitri-max 

Joining these two great talents will be Adelaide's finest house music purveyors Jorge Watts, Ezee-G, Juddo and Heath Robertson along with support from Bos (sax), Mav (percussion), Virgil (Trumpet) & Lumaluxe (visuals). Plus the Sunset courtyard session from 8-10pm with Goran.
