TECHNOIR

2021 is here; and so is Technoir!

We made it through 2020, lived to tell the tale and now we’re trying to make up for lost time.

To that end we’re making our first ever Labour Day Eve appearance and giving the Technoir faithful a plethora of options to customise their party experience. A clubbing ‘choose your own adventure’ if you will?

Because of COVID-19 restrictions and the limited capacity of our wonderful home Colour; we are offering 3 unique experiences over one night.

EVENT 1

Early in the night upstairs in the ‘Orange Room’, we are showcasing live acts and DJs to explore all things ambient and experimental.

Making their Technoir debut, we are very excited to welcome Jannah Quill (Live) and Edward Richards (Live).
Edward Richards will not only be playing at Technoir for the first time, but he will be performing a live set of his own material for the first time in public!

Alongside these newcomers we are very happy to welcome back long time friend of Technoir, PWD!
PWD will be DJing a very special ‘Dub Set’ just for the occasion.

Joining them upstairs will be our own Ranjit Nijjer, making a rare club appearance with an ambient DJ set akin to his many performances at Rainbow Serpent Festival.

EVENT 2

Early in the night downstairs, we are providing a condensed yet uncompromising session of Techno from 3 of Melbourne’s finest DJs.

Come early and blow the cobwebs out with a solid Techno outing yet be home before you turn into a pumpkin. What’s not to love?

Making their Technoir debut we are so excited to welcome El Grey and Lateral (of Machine Label and club night) to the decks for the first time. Joining them will be Technoir resident Simon Slieker.

Making his Technoir debut we are very excited to welcome DNGN MSTR (of local brand Blend) to the stage for the first time.

Joining him will be Technoir residents Simon Slieker and Ranjit Nijjer. Come late and stay late; why not?

We honestly weren’t sure we’d make it here this year but thankfully Technoir’s Christmas tradition will mark its 16th consecutive event as we say ‘see ya’ to 2020!
It’s so exciting to be able to continue this Techno-centric Christmas ritual in the wonderful space of Colour, which has thankfully managed to weather the covid storm.
Things will definitely be a bit different this year, as we adhere to all the government guidelines relating to these sorts of events BUT we can dance again!
After such a long absence, it’s hard to believe we’ll be able to create a space for all of you to dance the night away, as we have done the last 15 years on Christmas night. Providing the dancefloor soundtrack for the night will be regular guests Qualé and DJ Kiti as well as Technoir residents Simon Slieker and Ranjit Nijjer. Making their Technoir debut to round out the line-up are Deen Ariff, Ripplefactor of Savage Art Productions, Dialect of Aura Productions, Emmymaie and Spectralias aka Enclave (Live) from the Machine stable of artists. This may be the best Christmas present we’ve ever had!

Saturday February 29th sees Technoir return to Colour to begin it’s official residency at the club for 2020 (and beyond).

With the overwhelming success of our 15th Annual Christmas Party in December, we at Technoir are really excited to plant our roots in this new space while we continue to try to provide varied and unique Techno experience for all you wonderful souls on the dancefloor.

Once again, we are taking over both levels of Colour and bolstering our ranks with some of Melbourne’s finest purveyors of all things Techno.

Joining us for the first time will be JXTPS (Live), Λ / Π (Hybrid Set), Monfreaq, and Miss Farina. These artists have really caught our eye in recent times so we are really excited to have them all making their Technoir debut.

Returning this event will be one-man-institutions unto themselves, Matt Radovich and PWD. Neither of these two needs any introduction and we always look forward to their experienced and steady hands in the DJ booth.

As always, Technoir residents Simon Slieker, Dee Dee and Ranjit Nijjer will be setting the pace while they steer the ship through the night.

After a slightly extended hiatus over the colder months in Melbourne, Technoir is back in a new home to carry on it’s longest running tradition; our annual Christmas Party, which will see it’s 15th consecutive incarnation take place this December. We are exceptionally thrilled to be hosting our debut show at the newly opened Colour and are very much looking forward to putting this wonderful space through it’s paces very soon.

Time and time again (well 14 times to be precise), this event goes above and beyond expectations to provide one of the best nights of Techno for the year and we’re sure this year will be no different. In fact, this time; we’re going to need a bigger boat (or club in this case).

That’s right, this year’s event will take place over two levels in order to showcase a seriously solid selection of Techno acts from this fine city.
Making their Technoir debut will be Paul Lynch, TFG, and Lara K (Live) while returning guests include Concealed, Qualé and ACM (Live).
As always, these fine artists will be joined by Technoir’s resident rabble-rousers Dee Dee, Simon Slieker and Ranjit Nijjer.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Well it’s the end of an era.

14 years of wild and deranged parties at this iconic venue and this is it!

Technoir says goodbye to Lounge in the only way we know how; by getting some of the best Techno players in Melbourne together for one last night of connection and release through dancing to that music we love so, so much.

To this end; we’ve invited back some of our favourite guests from our time at Lounge in recent years.

First up we have the master of all things live, Acid and Techno; Honeysmack!

This one man institution has been twiddling knobs and taking names for longer that many modern Techno fans have been alive.
Known for his intense energy and outlandish stage presence, Honeysmack is sure to sort this party out with what it needs.

Next up we have two of our favourite DJs, who are fast approaching institution status in their own right; Chiara Kickdrum and PWD.
Unless you’ve been living under a Techno blocking rock for the past 8 or so years, you’re going to be very familiar with these two legends.
Clubs, festivals, overseas; they’ve done it all and then some.
We’re very excited to have them along for this one!

Finally, we have the resident DJs Simon Slieker, Dee Dee, and Ranjit Nijjer. The accumulated years of experience of these guys is sure to break just about any abacus, and it shows in Technoir’s longevity.
These guys are the musical backbone of the party and no doubt will be keen to leave their final mark on that Lounge dancefloor we all know and love.

It’s easy to get swept up in feelings of sadness and loss, as we farewell another Melbourne dance music institution; but lets try and see this as a celebration. A celebration of a truly wonderful space for like-minded souls to unite and dance the night away that has been a really special home for Technoir for all these years.

We hope you can join us for this momentous occasion 🙂

Christmas is staggeringly just around the corner but as has been the case for the last 13 years, we’re more excited about Technoir’s annual Christmas Party!

It boggles the mind that we’ve been undertaking this insanity for what will be 14 years come this December 25th!

Techno for Christmas?
At this point we don’t think it would be Christmas without it 🙂

This year we have a fantastic collection of Techno purveyors for your dancing pleasure, mostly of familiar variety but with one newcomer to Technoir’s stage.

Making her Technoir debut, we are excited to welcome the mysterious Techno entity that is Consoles. One of the most active and enthusiastic participants in Melbourne’s Techno scene, we are very much looking forward to her considered and refined take on Techno this Christmas.

Returning once again this year we have Technoir Christmas Party regulars Qualé and ACM (Live).
These guys have consistently blown the lid off of Lounge year in and year out, and hardly need any introduction.
We can’t wait to see what they have for us this time!

As always these wonderful guests will be joined by our equally wonderful resident DJs Simon Slieker, Dee Dee and Ranjit Nijjer.

After a couple of months off over the colder part of winter, Technoir is back for the first of two events before the end of 2018!

A long time ago a bunch of jokers decided to hold a horse race that some people surprisingly still care about; we’re just excited that we can use the public holiday as an excuse for an awesome night of proper Techno!

This is our second year doing this event and if last year’s was anything to go by, we seem to be onto a winner!

Not only is this the second time we’re partying on this date, but this time of year also marks 14 years since the inception of Technoir itself!
Holy cow that’s a long time in Techno land!
We must be doing something right?

Joining us this time we have some really fantastic guests, both first timers and returning.

Andrew Till of Machine needs little introduction. He’s one of the most accomplished artists of Australian dance music, period.
We’re very excited to have him grace the stage at Technoir for the first time!

Concealed are a red hot DJ duo that are leading the charge of the younger generation of up-and-coming Techno DJs in Melbourne. Their deep and thoughtful take on Techno will make a very welcome addition to the night as they also make their Technoir debut.

DJ Kiti needs very little introduction, both in general and also at Technoir. She’s made numerous appearances behind the decks for us over the years and we are as humbled as ever to once again host one of the icons of Melbourne’s electronic scene.

Joining these all-stars will as always be the resident heavy hitters Simon Slieker, Dee Dee and Ranjit Nijjer.

13 freakin years??!?!?!?!

It’s a little surreal to be writing copy for this event for the 13th year in a row (granted, we weren’t running Facebook events back in the early days).

One of the longest running permanent fixtures on the Techno calendar of Melbourne returns once again for it’s 13th year in a row.

Christmas means a lot to different things to people but for us, it’s meant Techno for a VERY long time!

This year, we’ve got some returning friends in the form of ACM (Live) and Qualé, but we are also very excited to welcome Luke Agius as he makes his Technoir debut!

Joining them as always will be resident DJs Simon Slieker, Dee Dee and Ranjit Nijjer.
