MACHINA Y2K Edition powered by Basement Project

Saturday September 13th, we will bring you that distinctive sound from days when the virtual mayhem of social media didn't exist, along with the corruption of the art. Expect an immersive night of pounding rhythms, analog visuals, and raw energy that channels the rebellious spirit of that era, brought to life by T.I.M.M (aka Moreon), Siia (Basement Project), and local DJs Qubit92 and Dystecha. Set Times: Qubit92 | 10pm-11pm Dystecha | 11pm-12:30am SIIA | 12:30am-2:00am T.I.M.M | 2:00am-4:00am By the end of the last century, an imminent clash of the system was expected. The Y2K dystopia was in the specter, and by then, a revolutionary sound emerged and infected even the most inhospitable areas of the globe. The Y2K clash never came, the rebellious sound got corrupted, and the idea of an apocalypse of the system failed. Analog ways of transmission gave birth to a culture where everyone was accepted (and not because of a trend), an escape to the system that, now as an algorithm, rules our lives. We must go back to the core of this sound so we can have an alternative vision again. Join us for a night of music, movement, and rhythm. In a word: MACHINA ***We are committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive space where everyone can express themselves freely.

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
