All Access Beats is where electronic music meets genuine inclusion. Dance, stim, and be yourself at this celebration of disabled, neurodivergent, and mental health community artists. With a quiet room, live stream, and accessible facilities, we're proving the best events are the ones where everyone belongs!
Lineup: SynclÎir, Selectaaa, Amber Dubs, Katherine Vavahea
All Access Beats celebrates electronic artists who identify as disabled, neurodivergent, or have lived experience of mental distress, as well as carers. This collaboration between the USU, SUPRA, and SRC shows what accessible events look like when done right.
Dance how you want, stim how you need, and express yourself however feels right. We operate as a safer space with a quiet room run by (K)INDS, live streaming on surg.fm, ticketed entry to avoid overcrowding, fully accessible facilities, volunteers for navigation, flexible drink ordering (notepads, Auslan, pointing), free earplugs, and Hidden Sunflower friendly environment.
