This Edition’s Line-Up - September 14th

Soul. Jazz. Funk. RnB. Psychedelic. Hip Hop.

A community-focused series spotlighting some of Sydney’s most exciting emerging acts.

SUÉ

Authentic soul & RnB, bold songwriting, and one of Australia’s most exciting new voices. Recently launching his Seek Yourself Love & Knowledge EP, SUÉ blends self-reflection with tributes to the greats of the ’60s and ’70s, as heard in his standout single Chocolate Vanilla.

Broken Angle Collective

A bass-heavy, groove-driven set from Benjamin Samuels (sax & clarinet), Rory Brown (bass), and Gabriel Harlem (drums). Bridging delicate compositions with hypnotic jams, their sound is steeped in dub, UK jazz, psychedelia, and global grooves, with surprise guests every show.

Reenie DJ

Known from Sunset with Motorik on FBi Radio, Crossing The Streams on 2SER, and dance floors from Club 77 to Pleasure Club, Reenie delivers cosmic, percussion-rich sets that blend the eccentric and eclectic. With acclaimed releases including the Space Cadet EP and edits for Rollover Milano, she’s a driving force in Sydney’s music scene and guaranteed to keep you moving.

Proudly sponsored by Heaps Normal, supporting our mission to build community and creativity, while offering a space where the music never stops.

On Sunday afternoons, Ricardo’s is the perfect end to your weekend. Get your fix of fresh sounds, vibrant energy, and a sense of community to cap off your Sunday.
