NOTTE INFINITA (italia) x COUSIN (eora)

sat 10 jan 2026

two of the most forward thinking producers of dance music come together for a night of sound system exploration in the spirit of collaboration and celebration

Plus local support from Esther Terrestrial 👽🤩

Early bird sales now live - tix in the bio

NOTTE INFINITA
Notte Infinita is a Berlin based, Italy born musician and DJ with a strong affinity for sound system culture and sound design. Traversing hypnotic, ambient-driven techno landscapes and bass-heavy UK sounds, his is an expansive sound that is both driving and atmospheric. Notte Infinita's work is inspired by transient moments, dreams and the interplay between meditative and euphoric states.

Notte Infinita will be making their debut appearance on Kaurna land at this event. Please make them feel welcome.

COUSIN
"Diving from starlit heights to ocean depths, Cousin’s echoes step through tempos and styles while summoning surreal sonic landscapes centered in spacious atmospherics, subterranean bass pressure and rhythmic hypnotisms."

It's been a big year for Cousin, with standout releases with heavyweights such as Paul St. Hilaire, Priori and under their own steam with their excellent Wake The Town E.P. - we're incredibly humbled to have them return to the subvert fold to showcase their unique sound.

subvert x inside out present

LENA WILLIKENS

a collaboration years in the making.
endlessly versatile and genreless, no two of Lena Willikens' dj sets are the same. A masterful selector with decades of experience digging, listening and playing for dancefloors and listeners around the world, with 2x regular NTS shows and appearances dating back to 2015. Do not miss this!

"The naturally rare conviction in ex*****on of her art is akin to an improvising musician, painter, or skilled raconteur in the most classic DJ sense. Layering extended lines of polyrhythmic thought that can only be properly understood in-the-flow – by bodies in motion – Lena places a lifetime immersed in the club, on all sides of booth, bar and dancefloor, in an effortless form of chronics edging on aerobic mysticism."

And, as a little treat, we will have the wonderful Inside Out providing a venue-wide audio treatment for your aural pleasure.

Tickets are on sale now and capacity will be limited! An intimate night for rare selection and dancefloor experiences before we close out the year.

We are thrilled to announce that Wata Igarashi will be joining us for a very special event on Sat 22 November at Ancient World

Arpeggiated synths, colourful crystalline textures and four-to-the-floor intensity all combine in his unique and deeply psychedelic music. There's simply nothing else quite like it. Wata Igarashi’s approach reflects a certain Japanese aesthetic, a recognition of the force and beauty that comes from paying careful attention to details, making sure everything is exactly as it should be.

subvert was lucky enough to host them in 2019 and we are thrilled to finally have the opportunity to present them to a select audience in an intimate setting such as ancient world for an extended 4-hour set. We are truly blessed 🖤

capacity is strictly limited for this. don't sleep on tix! Link in bio

DEEPTANK + SUBVERT present:

SUB BASICS (UK)

+++

This event will take place on the unceded land of Tarntanya, Kaurna Yerta. We wish to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded to European settlers and to pay respect to Kaurna People and their Elders as the traditional custodians of this land.

Sub Basics has been producing electronic music for over a decade, showcasing his dubstep style on renowned labels such as Infernal Sounds, Foundation Audio, Jaun Forte, and J. Kenzo’s Lion Charge. In addition to his dubstep releases, Sub Basics has made big waves in the bass techno scene with his signature dub techno rollers, which have been released on Steve O'Sullivan's legendary Mosaic record label, his own imprint Temple of Sound, and on Modern Hypnosis. His tracks are played worldwide at festivals and clubs by artists such as Objekt, Ben UFO, Mia Koden, Azu Tiwaline, Yush, Kia, and Steve O'Sullivan, to name just a few.

DEEPTANK is a club night with a focus on the deep and heavy sounds of bass, dubstep, and sound system music, where selectors share their idea of what that means to them. Born from a vision to educate and make space for soundsystem centric music in hopes of creating a community unified by a love of all things bass.

Let’s slow things down and get heavy with it!
