Rekospective is an immersive exhibition that charts the bold and dynamic practice of renowned Kamilaroi artist, Reko Rennie. The exhibition resists a conventional chronological sequence, allowing audiences to freely navigate the intersection between culture, politics and identity from a contemporary First Nations perspective.

Rennie’s distinctive style, which blends iconography from his Kamilaroi heritage with contemporary media, explores the complexities of his Aboriginal identity and Melbourne upbringing. Rekospective unveils new works from Rennie, presented alongside pieces that have garnered the artist international acclaim over the last two decades.

Rekospective showcases Rennie’s unique style and offers an important perspective in dialogues surrounding cultural and social visibility.

Abyssal Presents an evening with In:Most. They’re very excited to be hosting him … representing the Soulvent camp!

In:Most:

London-born Welshman Josh Croft and Brisbanite Bailey Greer like so many of their friends and peers met through the internet, back in 2014. SoundCloud provided the platform for such a meeting, and their friendship quickly developed over a mutual appreciation for all things musical, with a particular love for UK garage. The pair released their debut ‘Cloudfish’ EP the following year on Silent Audio. The writing partnership began to blossom, and before long these star-crossed producers eloped, with Bailey eventually leaving his homeland of Australia for Cambridge, all in the name of music.

Home to one of the UK’s most prestigious universities, Cambridge has also played an important role developing and nurturing a plethora of dnb talent over the last 30 years. Boasting pioneers like Nu:Tone, Commix and Logistics alongside newer names like Hugh Hardie and Inja, the revered and learned city would act as a dojo for the young duo. They played their first gig at Hospitality In The Park in 2017 and soon the bookings began to roll in. By 2019 they had crossed some weighty events and venues off of the bucket list, including Fabric, Hospitality On The Beach, Sun & Bass and more. Alongside Nu:Tone and Logistics in February 2019 they helped revive the weekly Spoonfed events at Fez club in Cambridge’s city centre, feeding the grassroots need for midweek dnb.

In 2020 the boys brought us their 16-track debut album ‘Voyager’ – a seriously accomplished project, featuring the talents of Lucy Kitchen, Carasel, Walk:r, Mistrust, and the mighty Logistics. The record displayed their penchant for soothing soundscapes, futuristic flourishes and luscious layering, which permeate whichever subgenre they set out to conquer. Following in the heavy footsteps of Pola & Bryson, the two carved out their own Freshman record to be treasured on dancefloors, wax and headphones alike. ‘Voyager’ shows just how their sound encompases the depths of the scene and received support from veteran artists like Ray Keith, Technimatic and Etherwood.

Their back catalogue spans an impressive list of labels, including Silent Audio, Spearhead, Med School, Hospital and Soulvent Records.With over 15 releases under their belt, the future is more than bright for this young pair, who show zero signs of slowing down..

Abyssal acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land this event is taking place upon, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, and we pay our respects to their Elders of past and present.

Having established themselves as one of the most in-demand acts in the industry, UK electronic duo Gorgon City have enjoyed stellar success in recent years thanks to their unique blend of bass-driven house music and addictive vocals. With 10 BRIT-certified singles including 1X Platinum and 2x Gold, and over one and a half billion collective streams in their repertoire, the duo have proven their music is equally fitting for both open air arenas and underground raves.

This exclusive show will be held at one of Melbourne’s premier music venues, 170 Russell, the perfect location for a standout performance from Gorgon City.

Get ready for the next chapter of Odyssey Nights – taking you deeper into the uncharted world of groove!

This third event promises a thrilling musical adventure, headlined by none other than Max Vegas, a master of genre-bending beats. Known for his dynamic sets across Paris and Melbourne, Max brings a unique blend of rhythms that will transport you to another dimension.

Having co-owned and managed Melbourne’s iconic record store Alley Tunes, Max is no stranger to shaping unforgettable nights. From festival stages like Rainbow Serpent and Strawberry Fields to underground parties, his sets are a celebration of sonic exploration.

Joining Max are two of Odyssey’s very own founders—Mykel and Jo Deep—each with their signature sounds to keep the vibe electric all night long.

To celebrate 15 incredible years of Strawberry Fields and to keep the Murray magic flowing a little bit longer, SF are teaming up with our friends at WAT Artists and Crown Ruler to bring you Strawberry Jam—a special inner-city after party.

Join in on Sunday 24 November at PICA for a day and night of music, connection, and everything you love about Strawberry Fields. Heal yourself and move into a dancing frenzy as we close out our 15th birthday celebrations in style!

Whether you missed out on SF24 Tickets or you’re keeping the festival vibes alive – move quickly to secure your spot on the dance floor!
