For this edition, we’re exploring the theme of connection.
How do we connect, anyway? Do you sometimes feel like an outsider, wondering how to “crack the code” of pre-existing social groups? Or perhaps you always hang out with your friends and yearn to break free and meet someone new? Maybe surface-level connections come easy to you but connecting on a deeper level seems elusive. Or do you just want to be left alone so you can feel connected to the music and energy around you?
We’re all experiencing different needs around connection - no wonder it can sometimes be tricky to navigate. We’ll do what we can to help foster connection at this edition of DeepRave. Join the DeepRave Friendship Bench group on FetLife to start exploring connections before the event.
More than a dance party
DeepRave is an immersive experience of rhythm, connection, and untamed play at Probe, where movement and desire entwine. More than a dance party at a private club—or a play party with a DJ—DeepRave offers a musical container for attuned movement and shared energy. It’s a soundscape for the ritual of rhythm and release, where movement and desire find their flow. Mysterious yet magnetic, ritualistic yet wild, this is where guests arrive in their bodies, notice the space and one another, and co-create a night shaped by curiosity, consent, and flow.
New to Probe? Come to one of our drop-in open social nights ahead of this event! Get acquainted with the space, the rules, and receive a tour. This way you can arrive already grounded and ready to drop into DeepRave. Probe staff will warmly welcome and orient new guests.
For the curious, the bold, the playful
Calling all:
✨ Good people with good vibes, in all the forms they take
✨ Dancers curious to explore or express sexuality in ways most dance floors don’t allow 🤭
✨ Kink community members open to craft and engage in scenes set to immersive soundscapes
✨ Newcomers intrigued by open sexuality—whether you’re here to observe, mingle, or lose yourself in the music as you ease into this vibrant and welcoming space.
Come for an evening unlike any you’ve experienced before, which we hope will leave you feeling both satisfied and hungry for more.
Please note: this event may not be suited for those with noise sensitivities. For those with light sensitivities, our lights will be set to gently fade between colours and strobes/flashing lights will not be utilized.
Ease in before the night unfolds
The musical journey of DeepRave spans a wide breadth of play–whether you like dancing slow and fucking fast, or pulsing hard and stretching bliss. Expect music to evolve from deep pulse to a club-vibe crescendo that calls attention to your body, breath, and the energy around you; plan accordingly; plan accordingly 😉
8-10PM | Arrival & opening vibes
Ease in—or dive straight onto the dance floor. Whether you’re a seasoned Probe member or newly acquainted, let presence and curiosity guide you as the evening’s DJs open the floor. The atmosphere is warm and expansive, perfect for exploring the space, making connections—and moving your body to playful bass music before the night deepens.
10PM | The Gathering
Doors close for entry at 10PM to maintain a safer and intimate atmosphere for guests. Those who remain are invited to anchor themselves in connection—attuning to the kinds of connection they seek or have on offer—to craft and experience an evening like no other.
10PM-1AM | Dance & play
The music swells, entwining bodies and beats. There’s time and space for all kinds of play as the sound moves from peak-time bangers to dark, sensual bass; the night is yours to co-create.
Sonic and sensory architects
A sonic feast served by:
🎵 sub5paCE (they/he, tech-house | minimal | downtempo) is a magnetic, mysterious, and seductive DJ—filthy in just the right way, with a knowing smirk. One foot in the underground, one in the afterglow. Invitational, never entitled. They exude sexy indifference and quiet confidence—humble yet discerning. Open to play, yet unshakably boundaried, offering the most graceful "no, thank you" when the moment calls for it.
sub5spaCE is an energy, a guide–a presence that shapes how patrons move and feel. Where they play isn’t just about music—it backdrops a journey that balances the tension between desire and restraint. They carefully lead and pull back, holding the container for surrender.
With help from special guest DJ: 2nd Unit
2nd Unit (he / they) is the soundtrack to shadowy seductions. With 20+ years playing clubs and private rooms in North America and Europe, they've collected a deep reserve of dark cuts and throbbing b-sides that go bump in the night.
Sync up and sink in
Wear what makes you feel good—and don’t feel confined to just one outfit. Whether you’re here to dance, be sexy, respectfully spectate, or more, you are welcome just as you are.
Some ideas: ✨ Fetish wear, club wear, jeans & a tee, furry onesie—anything goes ✨ Layered looks ready to peel away 😈
DeepRave is an experience, not content. No photography or video recording of or on the dance floor will be allowed. Probe’s House Rules, Code of Conduct, and Play Rules will be upheld at all times to ensure a consent-based space.
Step through, say yes to what feels right, and surrender to connecting with the night.
At Probe, inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome all individuals of all sexual orientations, genders, and identities. Our aim is to create an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and free to express themselves authentically. Our venue is wheelchair accessible, with an elevator available. Our goal is to provide an accessible, inclusive space. If you have any questions or have specific accommodation requests, please reach out to us.
A membership is required to attend. If you haven't secured your membership yet, be sure to do so before the event! You can sign up for your membership on our site here or can be purchased at the door.

Tickets are available on a sliding scale to promote inclusivity and accessibility. We offer limited “supported” and “sustain” tickets at a lower price for community members who might otherwise be unable to attend. Please choose the ticket price that makes this event accessible to you. If you’d like to support event accessibility, consider purchasing a “generous” or “benevolent” ticket, which helps subsidize lower-price options. All ticket types provide the same access to the event.
A variety of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be available all night to keep you refreshed and energized. Please note that bringing alcohol is not allowed.
Our dedicated Dungeon Monitors (DMs) will be present throughout the venue, attentively supervising the play areas and offering assistance to ensure everyone's safety.
