TECHNOIR

Technoir is back for our first ever Cup Eve Party!

After our third Queen’s Birthday eve party in June, we just couldn’t wait to head back to Lounge again for more Techno!

This party also lands very close to the 13th anniversary of Technoir’s inception back in 2004, so we’re extra excited for this one!

We’re so happy to welcome back some of our favourite past guests in form of Melbourne Techno heavyweights Adrian Bell (Bunker) and PWD (The Public Works Department).

Joiing them will be JK Roulé (Live), one half of former Technoir resident live act Tronikelesch, who returns to our stage for the first time in two years.

Resident DJs Dee Dee, Simon Slieker and Ranjit Nijjer are of course, to be expected.

Line-Up:

After almost disappearing into the ether (our articles section, not Simon), Simon Slieker has just delivered a brand new discussion piece in which he breaks down the perils of modern DJ technology and the many choices besieging DJs today.

Technoir is back for their third consequtive Queen’s Birthday Eve Party!

After trying this idea out in 2015, we’ve come to fall in love with this little mid-year winter Techno warmer at one of our all time favourite venues!

Consider this line-up a Cadbury favourites box of sorts, as we ask back some of our favourite acts in recent years, to grace the stage for some extended sets over the course of the night.

12 years!

When we first started running this event all those years, little did we know that we would have such an enduring and meaningful event on our hands.

Once a year, no matter what was happening in the greater world of Technoir, we would always head to Lounge for a massive Techno blowout after whatever sort of day people had had.

Some people love it because it offers them an escape and a distraction from a day they’d rather forget, whereas others would see it as the capper on a day of celebration. Several people over the years have confessed that it’s their one night out a year.

Uniting all these people, each and every time, has been a meaningful love of all things Techno and a strong desire to dance.

We have a pretty good feeling history will repeat itself this year.

Reisdent DJs Dee Dee, Simon Slieker and Ranjit Nijjer have been there for nearly every single event always bring something very special to the table – this time will be no exception.

Alongside them we welcome back three of our favourite DJs in the form of DJ Kiti, Matt Radovich and Qualé, who will also be joined by ACM (Live) making his Technoir debut.

After a bit of a break during the first half of this year, Technoir is back!

We had such a great time partying at Lounge last year for the Queen’s Birthday, that we thought we’d do it again and boy do we have some great music lined up for your dancing pleasure!

First up we welcome Technoir first timers Joey and Yanni Sarantis, who will be laying down their signature brand of smooth but tough Techno.

Then, we are very excited to welcome Steeplejack’s own Nali, who will be showcasing his beautiful productions in a very special live set, in which he’ll be tapping into the harder end of his repertoire.

Next, we welcome back repeat offenders PWD of the Public Works Department and Chiara Kickdrum; however this time Chiara will be making her live debut at Technoir.

Finally, we are proud to present our own resident DJs Ranjit Nijjer, Simon Slieker and Dee Dee.

Just to make things a little more special, Simon Slieker and Dee Dee will be playing a VS set featuring music exclusively from their time as resident DJs at Melbourne Techno institution Teriyaki Anarki Saki; on vinyl no less.

Line-Up:

Nali (Live)
Sarantis
PWD

After a bit of a delay, here is the full playlist of sets from our 11th Annual Christmas Party @ Lounge last year.
This was an incredible night of music and we are really proud to present it here in it’s entirety.
Hope you enjoy 🙂

Technoir’s 11th Annual Christmas Party Soundcloud Playlist

Christmas is coming and that means, so is Technoir’s Annual Christmas Party.

This event marks the Technoir crew taking over Lounge for the 11th consecutive year and this time, we’re thinking big.

Resident artists Dee Dee, Simon Slieker, and Ranjit Nijjer will be returning once again alongside a selection of some of the finest Techno talent in Melbourne.

Long time friend of Technoir, Qualé, will be returning once more alongside semi-recent repeat offenders Adrian Bell, Chiara Kickdrum, and DJ Kiti. Matt Radovich will be making his first Technoir appearance in nearly 10 years so get ready for a good one.

A larger than usual line-up means a special extended running time of a minimum of 10 hours, which means there will be extended sets from some of the DJS.

Don’t forget about some pretty serious décor around the venue to help with the immersive partying experience.

Whether you’re trying to forget about Christmas, or trying to keep the celebration going; join us at Technoir for the perfect way to finish off the day.
