GALLERY PRESENTS: Grand Final Eve Warehouse Takeover
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.
Headlining are Sydney-based DJ/producer’s Cousin and FUKHED, alongside Melbourne's own Guy Contact and Hannah D - two artists who've spent years shaping the sound of the city's underground.
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

FUKHEDFew have managed to snatch the attention of the Australian club and dance scenes like FUKHED. Delivering sets filled with relentless techno and late-night melancholia, FUKHED has crafted hefty mixes for triple j, Project Radio (UK) and The Sound Gallery; played fan-favourite sets at Field Day, Beyond The Valley and Subsonic; and shared stages with Nia Archives, I Hate Models and Patrick Mason.
In 2023, she increased her global presence by touring across Europe and Japan, where her boisterous sets championed international and Australian dance music in equal measure. Her skyrocketing profile has also led to partnerships with brands including AIAIAI Audio and Vans; as well as coverage on Mixmag and Resident Advisor. Her trajectory continued strongly into the 2024 summer, when she broke into Australia's wider festival circuit.
With her hammering debut single ‘No C No A’ dropping in 2024, FUKHED will continue to expand her global presence both onstage and in the studio. -
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.

With EssA new presence in Naarm's selector circuit, With Ess gravitates toward low-end depth and softly weighted percussion. She’s poised, she’s intuitive, and she favours tracks with emotional resonance.
