Promoters of Sydney venue The Sly Fox have just been told by NSW licensing authorities they must cease playing amplified music at 3am.

The venue currently resides outside of the NSW Governments punish all lockout law zones that prohibit entry after 1:30am and service of alcohol past 3:00am.

It was pioneering DJ Mark Dynamix who had his ‘Jack The House’ party penned for tonight with support from fellow legends Robbie Lowe, Paul Holden and more.

In a heated statement on the event page, Mark shared the news and his anger at the timing given only a day before the scheduled party while also stressing that;

“The sly fox has traded until 6am since the 1980’s with a 24-hour license with no issues”

Again, the venue can continue to stay open and sell alcohol past 3:00am but must stop playing any amplified music.

First booze was the problem, then kebab shops trying to past midnight and now this? What the actual fuck?
