Levels

Weekly House, Minimal, RnB, Hip Hop & Trap club night at Brown Alley. Levels as an event brand has played a huge part of Melbourne's Nightlife Scene for over a decade. Like most events in Melbourne on a Saturday, Levels is $30 entry free, in addition to a range of birthday and VIP packages. Levels started around 2012 as a Nightclub at 139 Lonsdale St, with a Saturday event called Nightcrawler Saturdays. Levels, as a brand, then moved to Platform One and ran their Saturdays until 2019, while 139 Lonsdale rebranded as Two Floors Up (TFU). Over 2015-2016, Levels ran some takeovers events at TFU, before the venue's closure in 2016. Towards the end of 2019, Levels moved to Brown Alley and has been there since. Levels Entertainment, the now parent company of Levels, is a conglomeration of the Two Floors Up Brand, which is now called Dirty Days, and Mango Fridays at La Di Da's. The music at Levels is a mix of Party Anthems and Electronic Dance Music, taking a lot of inspiration from 2012-2015 Ministry of Sound style and Melbourne's own electronic scene. Expect a range of hard bangers, well known songs and a bit of house, techno and RnB. Levels draws a crowd from all over Melbourne. The age range tends to be younger, mostly around 18-22 years old. There is not a strict dress code but people usually dress fine but not to the 9s and 10s. Levels opens at 10pm but doesn't start to pick up until 11:30/12, sometimes earlier. As the ground level begins to fill up, they open up the upstairs. Because of this expansion of the space, it is unlikely to reach full capacity on an average night. Levels stays busy until the earlier hours of the morning.

Venue

Brown Alley

The Colonial Hotel is a pub on the corner of Lonsdale St and King St in Melbourne's CBD. During the week, and weekend daylight hours, The Colonial Hotel operates as a normal pub. Come 10pm on a Friday and Saturday, The Colonial Hotel becomes Brown Alley, one of Melbourne's most iconic nightclubs in Melbourne. Named after the alleyway behind the entrance of the venue, Brown Alley s a multi-level juggernaut with world class speaker systems.

The Colonial Hotel was built in 1854 and has undergone a number of renovations in order to operate as a nightclub. Brown Alley is a huge venue with 5 rooms and a 1300 person capacity. During the 1980's, King St was the main nightlife precinct of Melbourne, and considered by most to be a bit wild, as the area attracted a lot of strip clubs, brothels and a nightclubs.

Fridays at Brown Alley can be a mixed bag. For the most point they are a venue for hire, with a range of promoters and touring agents making use of he space. While the events sporadically happen, there seems to be a leaning towards specific subcultures of electronic rather than a general house/techno approach.

Saturdays, on the other hand, is a massive, weekly event run by Levels. Levels started as a nightclub in 2012 with a weekly event called Nightcrawler Saturdays. While the nightclub rebranded to Two Floors Up, Levels took their brand to Platform One and ran their Saturdays until 2019, at which moving to Brown Alley. In 2015-16, Levels would occasionally return home to 139 Lonsdale to party with the Two Floors Up crew, before TFU closed down in late 2016. At which point, TFU rebranded as Dirty Days and work with Levels Entertainment, and exclusively put events on for public holidays, usually at Brown Alley as well.
