Event Details
I had a lot of fun making these sculptures. They’re for anyone who’s ever locked eyes with a dog across the street and felt like something in the day just shifted. Whether they live with us or pass through our orbit, dogs have a magical way of showing up right when we need them, even if we didn’t know we did.
There’s something quietly radical about how dogs love. They don’t care what kind of day you’re having, what you look like, or who you’re trying to be. They’re just there—curious, present and at times slightly chaotic. For a lot of people, especially marginalised ones, that kind of steady presence means more than we tend to say out loud.
These works are about all kinds of dogs: the stubborn ones, the scruffy ones, the ones who act like tiny celebrities on their daily walk, The Mutts.. Some are based on the dogs I know, others on those quick street encounters that somehow stick with you—a tail wag, a pause, a moment of quiet recognition.
August, with International Dog Day and National Dog Month, feels like the right time to celebrate them. Dogs don’t ask much. They just remind us to be in the moment, to keep going, and to maybe take the long way home.

🛸 COLOUR OF SOUND PSYCHEDELIC WAREHOUSE PARTY 🛸
✨ Psytrance • Visuals • Misfits • Ruckus
After years of deep space hibernation, the time is finally right to bring back one of the most infamous psychedelic brands of the scene, the return of the Colour of Sound is here…
Almost 15 years ago, the very first intergalactic artist to ever grace the Colour of Sound stage was none other than U-Recken — the legendary psytrance voyager from Dacru Records! The strong connection with U-Recken continued after his first set with us, where Colour of Sound collaborated with his Tree of Life Festival Turkey event & journey via Australia and the world…
So for the grand return, on Saturday the 23rd of August, Colour of Sound reunite with U-Recken performing a MASSIVE 4 HOUR EXTENDED SET, diving deep into the hypnotic realms of pure psychedelic trance in the industrial belly of Melbourne’s most iconic venues The Industrique for a wild night of cosmic chaos and laser-fuelled lunacy!
This ain’t no regular hoe-down — it’s a psychedelic stampede inside a fully decked-out warehouse dimension…
Expect our signature Colour of Sound experience with the full shebang:
✨ FULL SCALE PSYCHEDELIC DÉCOR & VISUALS
deeply trippy, tasty, and totally over the top
🌍 INTERGALACTIC PSYTRANCE HEADLINER
teleporting straight from the global psyverse
💃 ASTRAL MISFITS & EARTHLINGS ALIKE
a gathering full of weirdos, wanderers, and wild-hearted souls
Deep bush vibes, smack in the industrial heart of the city.
Mark it. Tattoo it. Yell it into the void.
This isn’t just a party. It’s journey from the beginning of Colour of Sound’s story, all the way through to now. It’s a full-blown psychedelic voyage…
————————–
U-RECKEN’S STORY:
As a dedicated psychedelic artist, U-Recken has long captured the true essence of intelligent, psychedelic, soulful psytrance.
His musical journey began with the now-classic debut album Aquatic Serenade (2006), followed by Deeper into Man (2008). After joining Belgium-based Dacru Records in 2011, U-Recken released a string of acclaimed works, including A Light at the End of the World (2013), Flames of Equilibrium, and Nothing is Sacred (2017), along with numerous EPs and singles that continue to resonate on dancefloors worldwide.
In 2026, U-Recken celebrates 20 years of the project, kick-starting a global anniversary tour with a special return to Australia – the same place he first toured back in 2006. Known for closing countless doofs & festivals with unforgettable DJ sets, U-Recken’s deep understanding of dancefloor dynamics has earned him a reputation as a highly skilled and emotionally impactful DJ.
Beyond the stage, Yaniv Ben Ari (U-Recken) is also a visionary entrepreneur and community builder. He co-founded the Tree of Life Festival in the picturesque mountains of Turkey and launched innovative platforms like FeedFreq & BigFreq Academy.
Two decades in, U-Recken is still evolving- and, in many ways, just getting started.
————————–
OUR COLOUR OF SOUND STORY:
If you’re new here, welcome or returning to us, welcome back. Colour of Sound started back in 2010 making appearances at some of the biggest festivals and shows in Australia, quickly the demand grew and Colour of Sound became it’s own thing, running solo parties and the like.
Eventually as the world turned to shit and the apocalypse set in, we went it hiatus until the time is right, and that time is now!
We have worked with the biggest names of the industry including, Infected Mushroom, Ace Ventura, Ritmo, Liquid Soul, John 00 Fleming, Vini Vici, Captain Hook, Animato, Zyce, Berg, Vibe Tribe, Altruism, Headroom, Waio, Mad Maxx, Symbolic, Dicktster, Hypogeo, Nitrodrop, Hedflux and countless more…
Strap in, space cadet and brace yourself to be hurled spacewards as everyone’s favourite psychedelic adventure returns…

Event Details
Hidden Tunes is a bold Mandarin musical blending Mando-pop and traditional Chinese instruments, performed with live English subtitles. This original work premiered in 2024 as part of La Mama’s Festival of Mother Tongue, receiving critical acclaim and a Green Room Award nomination for “Outstanding Artist in a Leading Role” (Lansy Feng).
Set in a prestigious music academy and inspired by the #MeToo movement, the story follows the ripple effects of a sexual harassment case on campus – examining how friends, fellow students and professors respond when the truth unravels. As silence spreads and pressure builds, how would the choices of all the “bystanders” shape the story?
Back with new songs, richer stories and a striking new stage design, this year’s Hidden Tunes invites you into the heart of a conversation we can no longer avoid. Will you stand by, or speak up?

Event Details
A riveting new adaptation of Othello, directed by the acclaimed Tanya Gerstle. In her bold and immersive style, Shakespeare’s tragedy is distilled to its raw essence by Gerstle, with a powerful five-actor ensemble delivering an intense, deeply human exploration of jealousy, power, and betrayal. A gripping, unflinching take on one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays.
When the esteemed general Othello elopes with Desdemona, defying societal expectations, his most trusted officer, Iago, begins a ruthless campaign of manipulation and deceit. As Iago’s poisonous whispers sow doubt and suspicion, Othello is drawn into a spiral of paranoia that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
Love twists into obsession, friendship into treachery, and trust into a deadly weapon in this gripping psychological thriller.

Alchemy & Way Back When proudly present the legendary Anjunabeats record label pioneers Super8 & Tab – here to indulge us with some of the best tunes from the past, present and future for their 20 Years Tour!
It’s been more than a decade since Super8 & Tab have visited us down under, and we absolutely can’t wait to witness the magic that unfolds when they dish out a very special 4-hour past, present & future set for us at one of Melbourne’s favourite venues, Bourke Street Courtyard.
Super8 & Tab are celebrating an incredible 20-year journey in 2025, marking two decades since their breakout hit Helsinki Scorchin’ launched them onto the global stage. From major festivals like Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and ASOT to hidden underground clubs in rural Ireland, their sound has resonated with trance lovers worldwide. Despite the whirlwind of global touring, they’ve released five studio albums, four compilations, and over 100 singles, with iconic tracks like “Elektra,” “Suru,” “Mega,” and “Irufushi” still lighting up dancefloors across continents.
Their evolution has been fueled by collaborations with trance heavyweights like Armin van Buuren, Cosmic Gate, BT, and Tritonal, along with high-profile remixes for Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, and more. Known for both euphoric festival sets and intimate, extended club journeys, Miika and Janne continue to shape the future of trance. Their 20 Years of Super8 & Tab tour promises a powerful celebration of their legacy, packed with beloved anthems and fresh material that proves their sound is as vital and timeless as ever.
