Succulent Funk W/ Mikekon, Rah & Miles Ahead

Descend the stairs of Collingwood Basement, and disappear into the rhythm. Find yourself lost in the smoke, sweat dripping down the walls, soul pouring from the speakers, and bodies moving together as one. For this soiree, we welcome Eora’s Mikekon, a cornerstone of Sydney’s scene for over two decades. Mike is one third of legendary party House Your Soul, and founder of WIP music, a label and party built around “A Conversation Through Music”, this is to say, he’s a known party starter. Opening up proceedings for the evening, Rah, resident of both Worldwide FM & Skylab Radio, brings a wonderfully diverse crate of sounds deeply anchored in percussive dub, jazz and soul inflected rhythms. A serious selector and the perfect energy to carry us into the evening. And finally, closing things out is Miles Ahead, guiding us through the final stretch and easing us gently back down to earth. There’s something about Collingwood basement that feels like a love letter to the underground. Low ceilings, close quarters, smoke machine pumping; a red light and a feeling. Nothing more than bodies moving together in the dark, yet something so much more. The kind of space where one hour becomes four, and before you know it you’ve been locked into the groove all night long. Smoke, sweat and soul. We’ll see you downstairs on May 2nd. This event is being held on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations. Always was, always will be.
