MACHINA (Techno) powered by Basement Project

ENTER THE BASEMENT: Techno Night at a Secret Location MACHINA is a new event concept born from combining the sound of techno and attention for community and intimacy. For the first time, we’re taking techno outside our headquarters—crafting an intimate, immersive experience in a secret location in Cambridge. MACHINA is made for those who crave hypnotic rhythms, pulsing basslines, and transformative sonic journeys. We're proud to welcome J.I.A., an emerging artist who excels at blending experimental beats drawn from NY, UK, and Berlin techno traditions. She’ll be joined by Boston’s own SIIA, a local legend whose evolving sound fuses raw percussion with dynamic, evolving textures. Making their techno Cambridge debut, an established international artist will introduce their bold vision of hypnotic techno to the city for the first time. To close the night, we’re collaborating with Profiler, the main mind behind the Boston techno scene, who will guide us through the final stretch with deep, narrative-driven grooves. Expect a night of intensity, connection, and sonic exploration. Secret location. Intimate vibe. Limited capacity. Location details released day of to ticket holders

From underground marathons to global stages, Geo has shared the decks with legends like Carl Cox, Nina Kraviz, Marco Carola, Ricardo Villalobos, Skrillex, and even Daft Punk. Now, after an unforgettable appearance last year, he returns to Boston for a rare and intimate performance in Cambridge. This time, we’re teaming up with the Stamina Collective, a rising force in the Boston underground, to make the night extra special. Setting the tone are ViV:On (co-founder of The Basement Project) and Zeko Deshoda (co-founder of Stamina), who will deliver powerful opening sets to ignite the dancefloor.
