Gallery takes over a 900 cap warehouse in Collingwood this Grand Final eve, bringing together our biggest lineup to date for a public holiday dance session at Second Story Studios.

Running from 7pm until 2am on Friday September 25th, this one brings together heavyweight Sydney/Eora exports and Melbourne/Naarm stalwarts across a night built for the city's biggest long weekend of the year.

Sleep D are sonic explorers, label heads and pillars of the Melbourne/Naarm underground, Sleep D explore the rave unconscious - driving rhythms, hypnotic bass, worlds of echo and the hazy bliss of the morning after. Childhood friends Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have built Butter Sessions into a defining force in the city's scene. Their albums 'Rebel Force' (2019) and 'Electronic Arts' (2023) bind a singular take on mutated house, bush doof, dub techno and downtempo, alongside credits spanning a chamber orchestra collaboration and rescored soundtracks for Eraserhead and Pan's Labyrinth. With long-standing residencies and a live show built for both clubs and vast paddocks, the duo have energised crowds across the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Cousin (Jackson Fester) is a Gadigal/Sydney-based DJ and producer known for introspective, dub-inflected soundscapes that blend dubwise techno, progressive house and break-influenced grooves. He's the founder of Moonshoe Records, and his productions have landed on labels including Mood Hut and Best Effort, with recent releases spanning collaborative work with his brother Ben as well as a full-length with Quebecois producer Priori. Cousin has performed everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to Montréal's MUTEK festival, and was named Mixmag ANZ's first Cover Artist for 2026 — a nod to a sound built on atmosphere over noise, and one that's found a home well beyond the dancefloor it started on.

FUKHED has been one of the fastest rising names in the Australian club scene over the past two years. Hailing from Brisbane and now Sydney-based, she delivers relentless techno sets shot through with late-night melancholia, and has played career-defining slots at Field Day, Beyond The Valley and Subsonic, alongside a heaving Boiler Room Sydney set that closed out her 2024. Her breakout singles 'No C No A' and '4303' earned national radio rotation and a triple j Unearthed feature artist title, and she's since built out a rapidly growing profile through releases, brand partnerships and her first headline shows across Sydney and Melbourne.

Guy Contact is a fixture of the Naarm dance floor, with a discography stretching back years across labels including Leipzig's R.A.N.D. Muzik, and tracks like 'Sacred Mist' finding their way onto Resident Advisor's Top 100 chart. A regular across Melbourne's most storied parties — from Refresh's park sessions to lineups alongside Sleep D and Kuniyuki — Guy Contact's sets draw on deep house and techno lineage with a selector's ear for the long game, built for rooms that want to move rather than peak early.

Hannah D is a Naarm-based DJ and label head whose sound draws as much from the people and places around her as it does from the records in her bag — wavy, euphoric tones shaped by the Australian landscape and the crews she runs with. She heads up TSBU (The Space Between Us), a label with a local focus on progressive tech sounds, and has shared bills with the likes of Sleep D, Charlotte de Witte and Job Jobse across Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Expect a set that moves with intention — the kind built for exactly the room Gallery is throwing this one in.

Rounding out the night are Char and With Ess, alongside a very special secret headliner we're not ready to reveal just yet.

Across the night, expect thumping sound throughout the main warehouse floor, an intimate club experience in the Red Room, and a chill-out space with ambient background music for when you need to catch your breath with the crew.

Accessibility: The ground floor of Second Story is wheelchair accessible. This gives access to the outside courtyard, the Red Room and the chill out area. There are bathrooms on the ground floor however they are not accessible. The main warehouse floor is up 2, wide flights of stairs
