Ritual becomes Rave.
Melbourne is a deeply creative city. This energy unites us. Yet independent practice feels subsumed by the State and the bureaucracy. This studio activation is a direct call to action - a grassroots fundraiser for contrapuntal — fresh from Tokyo, we are Melbourne’s new home for sound, art, tech + wellness. Come build it with us.
A convergence of deep bass rhythms, subterranean sonic textures and live performance art, dance as we ignite this secret warehouse space in the heart of Fitzroy. The power of the creative underground has always driven culture forward — fearless, independent, borderless and free.
We invite your participation and input on the path to our Spring Activation and full studio launch in 2026: think of this as our collective place and platform for collaboration, experimentation and radical creativity.
