Wax’o Paradiso in Civic? Ain’t no way…

Gang Gang Cafe & Bar and Sundowner continue their generational run; demonstrating once again that Canberra is actually the least boring city.

Come by Blank Cultural Platform on Sat for the offical Sundowner afterparty.

Featuring;

Wax'o Paradiso
The architects of modern Australian Balearic. Edd Fisher and Simon TK have graced the Meredith Music Festival at sunrise, and closed off Dark M**o. What else is there to say?

aakanksha
Hero of the scene and co-founder of Canberra’s beloved Trust.FM community radio, naga raani spins soul and shakes ass on wax.

Trae Bashford
Trae is an important public figure, and one of the few who truly has it all. Not only is he nominated and in the running for the ACT 2026 DJ of the year, he has also won the hearts and minds of his contemporaries. We are incredibly enthusiastic for another select-acular performance from Trae.

Haessa returns with volume 2, this time in
/Blank/ world !!

Taking over the Lounge, volume 2 brings DJs/producers 🎀 & know.clu for their CBR debut, joined by local icons / kindred spirits Campbell B**r and Wanja Sophie🌀Wanja ❣️

Fresh off releasing her silky, textured EP Murciélago on Naarm-based label Night Shop Records, bbsanii has worked rooms & parties like Miscellania, Revolver Upstairs & Chuleo Club. She weaves her roots in Otavalo, Ecuador into everything from raunchy chicago house to reggaeton to footwork, developing a sound that’s intricate, rhythm-focused and gets you flyin off your feet.

Label father / Producer / DJ / VJ / scene builder know.clu has been a staple of his community in Kaurna for a little while. Through founding H34VEN0N34RTH & various adventures, he’s found himself sharing stages with DJ G2G, Ninajirachi, Safety Trance, BCLIP, umru and Net Gala. His selections are rooted in non-4x4 experimentations, paying homage to his mixed Indian heritage through percussive, hip-gyrational rhythms sourced from around the globe 🌍

Coming to you straight from their inner north living room, lamedudecampbell & Wanja will bless volume 2 with USB’s full of wonder and unsettlement. As a duo, they are committed to the thoughtful as much as the hot+fast, drifting from textural dub to speedtronic, and landing on lamedude 150+ bpm edits.

You know the drill, ticket link in bio

Expect a night of deep cuts, rolling grooves and curveballs, backdropped by the city skyline.

THE LINEUP

Ed Kent
With over a decade behind the decks, Ed Kent has earned his place on lineups like Pitch Music & Arts, Strawberry Fields and the upcoming A3 festival. Forgotten house B-sides, rolling techno tools and deranged no wave curveballs all land with considered intent, making for sets that are both unpredictable and enthralling.

Charlie
Co-founder of Deuce Events and curator at Club Elevate, Charlie is rooted in Naarm’s underground. Her sets move fluidly through minimal, progressive and textural sounds, creating space for both introspection and movement.

Trae Bashford
With positions as both the co-owner of Grove, Gratitude & Gouda and the CEO of Google, Trae Bashford finds time in between the action to thread together layers dubby and heady atmospheres; bringing a unique sonic experience to every room.

emmaslaven
Born and raised in Canberra, Emmie has since gone onto lineups and gigs with national breakouts like Roza Terenzi. She weaves prog, ambient, and techno to take dancefloors on journeys as captivating as they are unpredictable.

Sound, light, texture, atmosphere.
A little glimpse into Scenery 5, an immersive night of ambient music and moving image at Blank Cultural Platform.

Slow-burning soundscapes, shifting projections and analogue visuals transformed the space into something entirely different for a few hours, with music from Umki, Orthotyp-a and Sebastian Field, and live visuals by Nicci Haynes.

A night for zoning in, tuning out, and letting the room become the experience.

Here’s a little piece of what it looked and sounded like.

A little glimpse into the strange, tender world of Silver Spinning.

Music, shadow puppetry, live art, homemade rituals and a room full of people coming together to experience something wonderfully hard to put into words.

Created by Luciana Harrison, with Tara Bromham and Sia Ahmad, Silver Spinning explores q***r parenthood through song, image, sound and ritual. Each performance is a little different, shaped by the artists, the space and the people in the room.

Here’s a little look at the night at Blank Cultural Platform.
Thank you to everyone who came and stepped into the dream with us.
