The Art After Dark program will transform White Bay Power Station on Friday evenings with music, art and outdoor food markets. Across three nights, the Inner West Council Music Series spotlights emerging voices from our own backyard, bringing the sounds, stories and diversity of our local music scene to Biennale’s global stage.

Introducing Yes Boone (formerly known as Boone), the multifaceted and visionary Sydney-based producer. A wizard of sample-based dance music, Yes Boone seamlessly blends the cutting edge of dance with an unmistakeable signature style, carving out a niche that is both avant-garde and entirely his own.

Yes Boone’s successes extend far beyond his production. He quickly scored a debut festival slot at Wildlands (AU), played a sold out B2B show at Liberty Hall (SYD) & Freo Social (PER) with Scott Tweedie, and captivated audiences at Ability Fest (AU). He is amassing millions of views across social media platforms, and partnering with established brands and campaigns.

With a background in film & acting, Yes Boone has a keen eye for storytelling and a knack for crafting compelling content, something distinctly rare in the dance scene. This is the first chance Sydney audiences will have to witness this rising star – you’ll want to be in the room and make sure you’re ready to dance.

The Inner West Music Series is curated by Niriko McLure.

The Art After Dark program will transform White Bay Power Station on Friday evenings with music, art and outdoor food markets. Across three nights, the Inner West Council Music Series spotlights emerging voices from our own backyard, bringing the sounds, stories and diversity of our local music scene to Biennale’s global stage.

Sydney singer, rapper, songwriter and producer, BOY SODA (aka Brae Luafalealo) has firmly cemented his place as one of Australia’s most exciting new voices in soul and R&B. His music pushes the boundaries of genre and emotion, effortlessly blurring the lines between R&B, pop, classic soul and experimental groove.

BOY SODA won the 2025 ARIA Award for Best Soul/R&B release, and is fresh off the back of his Lil Obsession Tour, captivating audiences across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. His live shows, backed by a dynamic band, blend electrifying energy with intimacy, vulnerability and heart.

Those who have seen BOY SODA perform live just *might* be able to imagine how special this show is set to be. With his pure, rich harmonies, soul-stirring lyrics and full band behind him, BOY SODA is set to make the Boiler Room’s 40-metre ceiling soar.

The Inner West Music Series is curated by Niriko McLure.

OUR HOUSE is for the dancers, the music lovers, and the night community.
We’re bringing together some of our favourite local DJs to fill the room with house music that moves the body and lifts the spirit.

After our first event at Miscellania in 2025, we're calling it home for all of 2026.
This event is the first of our residency with Miscellania, so gather yourselves and come over!

Born from a love of connection on the dance floor, this night is about more than just beats — it’s about building a space where everyone feels safe, seen, and celebrated. You'll feel the warmth & good energy on the dance floor.

Come as you are. Move how you feel. Let’s create something special together at OUR HOUSE !

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.

One year of shelling. One year of high energy house music. One year of Fision.

We’re blowing out the candles the only way we know how - with a birthday bash built for the dancefloor. Expect a full-force house session packed with rolling basslines, euphoric drops, and that signature Fision shelling that lights up every corner of the club.

For our First Birthday, we’re bringing it back to where it all began - The Lucky Cat. The birthplace of Fision returns for one massive night of high-energy house, bigger sound, brighter lights, and the most electric crowd in the city. 

We’re stacking the lineup with the best acts from our past events who kept the dancefloor moving from day one.

Headlining our event and who needs no introduction is noneother than Mixed Methods @mixedmethodsdj - the absolute definition of a serious sheller. Mixed Methods has known the Fision Crew for years and we have waited for the appropriate time to bring her on to play under the Fision flag. When the First Birthday came around - there was no question on who else could do the headline slot!

Supporting the rest of the night:

- Fision: @fision.project
- DRVLA: @dervlaburke
- Campbell Ashwin: campbellashwin_
- DJ Competition Winner

No warm-ups, no wind-downs. Just peak-time energy from the first beat to the last.

No Reason For This Party returns for its fifth instalment. This time, we go cold.

Deep winter. Frost in the air. Bodies moving to stay warm. Inside, the heaters are replaced by basslines, strobes, and a room built for losing track of time.

Expect heavy winter visuals, immersive decor, and a crowd that knows why they’re there. It’s a birthday session for one of the crew, so the energy won’t dip.

Free entry. Long set times. Proper sound.

No reason needed. Just show up.
