Event Details

Joy Persists is an exciting collaboration between Soul Alphabet and Move, two prominent forces in Boorloo's music and creative scenes.

Headlining the event will be the incredible vocalist and producer Erika de Casier, known for captivating performances and her sincere and soulful sound. This down-to-earth Danish super-star isn’t chasing perfection – she’s just trying to show you where she’s at right now. Gliding through '90s and '00s UK garage, with shimmering glimmers of IDM and an innovative nod to R&B - soft, sensual, and effortless.

Joining her for the night is Naarm-based creative force Pookie, whose dynamic presence and lyrical prowess promise to always make an impression, and local rising stars Scratching - the electronic-pop brainchild of singer-songwriter Grace Sanders and producer Ezekiel Padmanabham. Complementing these stellar live performers are some of Move and Soul Alphabet's favourite DJs - Jane (NSW), Onike, Rok Riley and Sara T - ensuring a night of heavy rhythmic dance music and unforgettable moments.

Scheduled to take place as the official closing party for the City of Fremantle's 10 Nights in Port winter arts program, joy persists brings together diverse talents from around the world in a call to celebrate the power and persistence of joyful acts amid times of struggle and despair.

Soul Alphabet, a dynamic creative platform and community initiative dedicated to supporting and showcasing Black and brown artists across various artistic mediums. Soul Alphabet has made significant contributions to Perth's cultural landscape through their efforts ranging from DJ workshops and performances to art exhibitions, community organising practices and international artist exchanges. Soul Alphabet has become a vital part of Boorloo's ecosystem for the creative communities and people of colour, enriching the local arts scene with its vibrant, inclusive and forward looking approach.

Move is renowned for its legendary parties and deep-rooted commitment to the local music community. Move's events are synonymous with the forward thinking pulse of underground electronic music in Perth, fostering a thriving musical culture that prioritises inclusivity, well-being and artistic freedom. The synergy between Move's expertise in music event production and Soul Alphabet's dedication to community and artistic representation makes Joy Persists a unique and compelling celebration.

Joy Persists not only highlights the power of joyful acts in challenging times but also celebrates the remarkable journey of Soul Alphabet. As the final event produced by Soul Alphabet, Joy Persists stands as a testament to the lasting impact of their work. This event is a joyous culmination of Soul Alphabet's contributions to the arts and a vibrant symbol of the enduring power of community and creativity.
