What the Breaks & Bass tour brings together
From 2–5 October 2026, Guau and Yo Speed will tour Australia across four nights under the Breaks & Bass / GUAU x YO SPEED Australian Tour 2026 banner. Presented by Sydney-based crew Rhythmiic Productions, the run connects Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane through a compact but clearly structured club route: a solo set from each Spanish guest followed by a shared closing set.
This is neither a travelling festival nor a series of unrelated appearances. Its editorial interest lies in bringing a dialogue already active within contemporary Spanish breaks to four local settings: Guau and Yo Speed as producers, DJs and key names in the 83 orbit. Perth, Melbourne and Sydney will close with a Guau B2B Yo Speed set; Brisbane expands the formula into a B2B2B with Kid Kenobi.
The route begins on the west coast, then moves to Melbourne the following day before continuing up the east coast from Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane. The final two dates fall during the October long weekend, yet they use distinctly different formats: a late-night basement rave at ARQ Sydney and an outdoor afternoon-to-evening session at The Brightside.
Two current voices in Spanish breaks
Guau, a Spanish artist based in Mallorca, represents a club-facing approach that connects breakbeat with bass, UK garage, bassline, acid and electro. He founded Elektroshok Records and 83, also known as Ochentaytres, in 2016. His work at 83 has pursued an updated breaks vocabulary shaped by UK references and a direct concern for club function.
That approach can be heard in tracks including *Dance Machine*, *No More Acid*, *Limonada*, *Computer Singularity* and *Hold It*, as well as the album *Danceable Noise* and releases such as *Acid Bits*, made with Bowser. His catalogue includes collaborations with Krafty Kuts, The Freestylers, Plump DJs, Stanton Warriors, Keith MacKenzie and Elite Force, linking his production to different generations of club breakbeat. His DJ career includes London rooms such as Fabric and Ministry of Sound, alongside international appearances and a sustained presence on the Spanish circuit.
Yo Speed, the alias of Rubén Cordero, arrives from Cádiz with a profile rooted in breaks and UK bass, with occasional routes through garage and electro. His project has been documented since the mid-2010s and developed through an important period with Distorsion Records, where he established an early discography and a visible presence in breakbeat charts. Brighton belongs to his history as a former base, while his current activity places him back in Spain and particularly within the 83 environment.
Within that recent catalogue, tracks such as *Muita*, *I Can Feel U*, *TST*, *I Don't Kno*, *Bitter Taste*, *No Brakes* and *Lemme* outline a producer attentive to both rhythmic impact and melodic detail. *Fogo* and *Muita* have become especially recognisable records in the 83 catalogue. His longer works, *Deep Confessions* and *Somnia PT1*, also show a range from direct club tools to more extended compositions. No specific repertoire has been announced for the tour, but the pairing suggests a broad reading of their shared ground between breaks, bass and club music.
83 is the link between their present trajectories. The label brings together Guau, Yo Speed, MBreaks, Bowser and Nosk, while its catalogue has also included guests connected to the international history of the genre. Its releases include Guau's *Groove Tool*, Yo Speed's *Muita* and *Fogo*, and Bowser's *Calypso*. Rather than operating as a rigid stylistic category, it provides a platform for breakbeat in conversation with electro and UK garage without losing its dancefloor force.
Tour map: Perth (2 Oct) → Melbourne (3 Oct) → Sydney (4 Oct) → Brisbane (5 Oct).
Perth opens the route
The first stop takes place on Friday 2 October at Breaks & Bass Perth, hosted by The Aberdeen Hotel — also known as The Aberdeen or The Deen — in Northbridge. The event runs from 19:00 to 02:00 AWST and is 18+. It opens the west-coast leg before the immediate move to Victoria.
Perth's official line-up brings together Guau, Yo Speed and their B2B, alongside Robwun, Micah B2B Philly Blunt, Krypsis and Rhythmiic. The local bill is not simply an add-on to the touring names: it introduces connections to Perth nightlife and makes the opening a full club date rather than a passing stop. The venue is located at 90 Aberdeen Street, Northbridge, Perth WA 6003.
Melbourne: the core format, without filling in the bill
On Saturday 3 October, the tour reaches Breaks & Bass Melbourne at The Industrique in Coburg North. The 18+ event runs from 20:00 to 03:00 at 5–7 Louvain Street, Coburg North, Melbourne VIC 3058. The venue's framing captures the idea behind the run: four cities, one Australian tour.
Guau, Yo Speed and the Guau B2B Yo Speed closing set are confirmed here. Local support was still listed as “Full Lineup Coming Soon” in mid-September, so Melbourne should be understood as a date with its central proposition defined but its supporting line-up not yet to be anticipated. The Industrique shop listed a 52 AUD price for this particular show; that figure should not be read as a tour-wide ticket price.
Sydney: long-weekend basement rave
On Sunday 4 October, during the New South Wales long weekend, the tour continues at Breaks & Bass Sydney. ARQ Sydney Basement in Darlinghurst hosts the night from 20:00 to 04:00 AEDT, with an 18+ entry policy. Its address is 16 Flinders Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney NSW 2010.
The structure returns to the two solo sets and the joint finale. In Sydney, the Guau x Yo Speed B2B is billed for one hour. Rhythmiic is on the line-up, with further names to be announced. Compared with the outdoor session that closes the route in Brisbane, this date is conceived as a basement rave: a more concentrated setting for listening and dancing, with the early hours framing the exchange between their selections.
Brisbane: Kid Kenobi joins the finale
The fourth and final date is scheduled for Monday 5 October at Breaks & Bass Brisbane, during the Queensland public holiday. The Brightside (Outdoors) in Fortitude Valley hosts the event at 566 Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane QLD 4006. The session occupies the holiday's afternoon and evening, shifting the tour from club and basement spaces into an open-air day party.
The updated bill arranges the day through a sequence of booth handovers:
- Grug B2B Duos, from 8Ball Audio Crew, at 14:30.
- Kenny Beeper B2B Bustaflux, from 8Ball Audio Crew, at 15:30.
- Rhythmiic B2B Bosketta at 16:30.
- Kid Kenobi solo at 17:30.
- Guau at 18:30.
- Yo Speed at 19:30.
- Guau B2B Yo Speed B2B Kid Kenobi at 20:30.
Kid Kenobi's presence meaningfully changes the closing set without blurring the tour's main concept. His longstanding career as an Australian breakbeat DJ makes the most explicit bridge to the local context: he appears first in a solo slot, then enters the final dialogue with the two Spanish guests. It is therefore a conclusion designed for Brisbane, not simply a repeat of the B2B used on the preceding three dates.
A conversation with Australian breaks culture
Australia has its own breaks culture, shaped by local histories, promoters, DJs, labels and dancefloor habits that cannot be reduced to one city or one aesthetic. The Australian Breaks scene traces some of those threads across Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. This tour arrives within that territory without needing to frame itself as a founding gesture: its value comes from placing two active Spanish artists in contact with different local crowds and support bills at every stop.
Rhythmiic Productions connects the itinerary, but the four dates show that this is not a uniform experience. Perth adds a broad line-up; Melbourne keeps its local complement open; Sydney works through the late-night rave format; Brisbane unfolds as a day party and brings Kid Kenobi into the final exchange. That variation matters because breaks culture is built not only through records, but through listening environments, set lengths and relationships between DJs in the booth.
The B2B does not emerge from nowhere, either. In August 2026, Guau and Yo Speed shared the booth with MBreaks in a three-way Dreambeach set. The mix Guau vs Yo Speed vs MBreaks — Dreambeach 2026, published through the Ochentaytres channel, documents roughly an hour of that affinity. It does not define what will be played in Australia, but it is a useful point of reference for understanding a partnership that combines production, label work and DJ practice.
Following the route
The Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane listings gather practical information and updates for each stop. For listeners wanting to hear the connection between the two artists before October, the Dreambeach B3B places their meeting in a Spanish festival setting; the Australian tour instead moves it through four club and day-party configurations.
It is also a useful entry point to the profiles of Guau and Yo Speed, the 83 catalogue, and Yo Speed's earlier chapter with Distorsion Records. The charts and events sections offer further ways to follow the releases and dates continuing to shape the international breaks map.
