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.
