The party held at new Northbridge venue Rechabite saw all the DJs and artists donate their time for free to raise money for homeless support group AYLA and indigenous LGBT support organisation Black Rainbow.

As the event raised so much money, DJ’s Pete and Cooper, and all the Homopolitan Crew, are asking people who attended the party to suggest other charitable causes that could benefit from a donation.

T‍‍‍‍‍‍he party saw DJ’s Rok Riley, Lucky Pete and Ben EM supplying the tunes, while a stack of performers including Ash Traylia and Pussywillow and Bonnie Darko performed.

Community radio station RTRFM 92.1 and OUTinPerth helped promote the event, while the venue made a generous donation to the cause on top of providing the space for free.
