Ination UNDERGROUND VIBES

Friday June 19th

The Ination presents: Underground Vibes 

  The Ination

Join us for the June edition of Underground Vibes; a monthly Cyberpunk Black Light Party, where darkness is explored and embraced through pulsating EBM basslines; techno grooves; decadent dark disco; synthwave soundscapes and brooding midtempo akin to a John Wick club scene. Dress for an interactive UV dance experience or come as you are. All that we ask, is that you bring the darker version of yourselves...

Every 3rd Friday in 2026, our DJs and guest DJs will focus on providing an alternative underground experience without expectation on genre, as much as it will focus on curating retro-future dance atmospheres. Our goal is not to cater to a standard menu of 'club hits,' but to provide pleasant surprises through the unknown.
