WHY NOW?
This came about due to the overwhelming disappointment with the closure of so many GREAT music venues in Sydney recently. So we felt the time was right to organise a local music communal get together for the locals who have been supporting the music and venues we all love.
We will have a Sound System, Decks & Mic set up, so if you are keen to help out with music or a mini show case, let us know via FB or e-mail.
Peace,
From your good friends at
Soul of Sydney, Our House & Tone

MC’s, beatboxers, Bboys, Bgirls, poets, singers and linedancers all meet at the middle of Platform 19, Central Station, Sydney, at 2pm sharp this Friday March 19th. Then we jump on a train and cypher! On a mystery journey led by your host Morganics we will return to Platform 19 by 3-30pm, just in time to go home and freshen up before the official launch of Platform 3 at Carriageworks that night.
This is a positive, conscious event where we can join together to jam, to share, to build, to elevate ourselves and Hip Hop culture – all in the middle of a moving train carriage.
NB No swearing, no drugs or alcohol, no slackness and no wackness.
With respect to Kid Lucky from NYC, this is Sydney’s version of New York’s subway series where as XXL magazine says “Hip Hop gets back to it’s essence”.
