Overview A night of uncompromising deep, dark progressive house feat Zero Tolerance architect Gab Oliver, hardware frequencies of Sol Flare & More. SECRET LOCATIONS PRESENTS: GAB OLIVER & COLLECTIVE - Deep Dark Hypnotic Progressive House Night Prepare yourself for an uncompromising exploration of the underground. On September 12th, 2026, Gab Oliver + Secret Locations Collective takes over Joey Smalls for an epic journey into the shadows of progressive house. Cultivating a movement that eschewed the mainstream for a deeper, darker, and more hypnotic aesthetic - this event is strictly for those who crave a sound that moves both the body and the mind. THE LINEUP GAB OLIVER - The Architect returns. For over two decades, Gab Oliver has been a defining force in the evolution of Australian electronic music. As the creative genius behind the legendary Zero Tolerance Recordings, that helped curate the sound that has defied the mainstream - a darker, more hypnotic dialect of progressive music built on restraint, subterranean tension, and surgical precision. With a legacy rooted in the "dark progressive" movement that reshaped global dancefloors in the early 2000s, Gab’s influence remains a masterclass in atmosphere. He is a producer who treats silence as a tool and tension as an instrument. Now, celebrating their monumental 50th release on the Zero Tolerance imprint, Gab steps out from behind the studio glass to command the floor with a rare, special dj set. Expect an immersive sonic architecture: deep, cinematic textures, brooding basslines, and the kind of uncompromising technical focus that has cemented Zero Tolerance as a cult institution. This is not just a performance; it is a masterclass in tension and release. SOL FLARE MUSIC (LIVE HARDWARE ACT): Sol Flare Music doesn’t just play electronic music - he constructs it. In an era dominated by digital perfection and pre-recorded sets, Sol Flare stands apart as a practitioner of raw, high-stakes hardware performance. Stepping onto the stage with a formidable rig of synthesizers, sequencers, and outboard gear, he dismantles the boundary between artist and instrument. This is a live, visceral experience where the music is never static. Every kick, every searing synth line, and every shifting texture is crafted in the moment, dictated by the physical interaction between the performer and his machines. It is electronic artistry at its most honest: a blend of driving, groovy progressive house and techno that thrives on the tension of the "now." There are no shortcuts here, only the electricity of a setup pushed to its limits. Expect an immersive, high-fidelity journey through light and dark, where the improvised nature of the set ensures that the soundscape you hear will never be replicated exactly the same way again. Witness the craft of live synthesis in its purest form. NICK DEPTH: A creative architect of the Melbourne underground, Nick Depth bridges the gap between ethereal progressive house and driving melodic techno with technical precision and profound emotional resonance. His sets are a rare study in balance: perfectly blending the raw, grit-infused energy of the underground with the sophisticated clarity of a studio-refined production. Whether he is mapping out the trajectory of a four-hour journey or crafting a singular, earth-shaking peak-time anthem, Nick Depth designs sound that resonates long after the lights come up. SECRET LOCATIONS DUO (SACH & NAV): Secret Locations is more than a DJ duo—it is a nomadic creative collective defined by an obsessive pursuit of the perfect atmosphere. Traversing the thin line between deep, hypnotic progressive house and the raw, rhythmic grit of Dark Disco, the duo has spent years carving out a signature sonic identity that feels both intimate and expansive. Whether in a basement in Melbourne or a remote pontoon in the South Pacific, Secret Locations creates a unified experience: dark, hypnotic, and uncompromisingly patient. The Sydney x Melbourne collective returns to curate the night, maintaining the integrity of a sound that is "deep as f*ck".
