"Going Under: Planet Abundance", curated by Ayebatonye, is the first in a series of three artist-led shows at Mary's Underground as part of Vivid Sydney's 2022 live music program.

Known for her incredible taste setting selections, DJ Ayebatonye invites artists of the Black/Afro diaspora to blend global electronic sounds into entrancing sets in this immersive, other worldly celebration of afrofuturism, Black joy and community. 

Join her and friends on the dancefloor as they lay down afro rhythms, deep percussive beats, classic house, techno and jersey club paying homage to the Bla(c)k roots of dance music while bringing the creativity of Bla(c)k art to the forefront . Feast on sound, movement and performance from this founder and creative director of collaborative DIY arts platform Irregular Fit and creator, producer and host of Club Abundance on Skylab Radio. 

Planet Abundance is coordinated and takes place on stolen land . Planet Abundance acknowledges the original custodians of this land, the Gadigal people. We pay our respect to Elders past and present, and honour the world's oldest continuing culture. Sovereignty was and still has never been ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. 

Entry is free for First Nations folk and Trans women of colour. Please email planetabundanceclub@gmail.com to add your name to the guestlist and if you have any questions or queries.

And more to be announced 

6PM - 3AM

The "Going Under" series invites artists to curate a night that dives deep into their Sydney/Eora, to bare the stories and experiences of their community, their soul, the sound of their City.
Mary's Underground opens up to the immersive and cross-disciplinary, facilitating a space for artists to create an experience that is bold, evocative and unforgettable, bringing us together through their soundtrack.
It is an opportunity for artists to explore their relationships to each other and the city, to celebrate long time collaborations, to open up new ones. Each night is unique to the collective of that evening and how they choose to share "what beats at the heart of the soul of Sydney/Eora."

Part of Vivid Sydney and City of Sydney’s XCelerate program.
