It’s unbridled madness; FJAAK leads a Spandau20 night. Returning to the venue after their offsite boat party, techno’s most fun-loving duo headlines with a live set. If you know FJAAK, you know how special this is; they built their reputation in no small part on the strength of their incredible hardware performances, which harness all the maniacal energy of their productions into a more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts whirlwind of slamming kicks, huge synths and gleeful energy. FJAAK lives for unbridled creativity and the pure joy of their sonic sorcery. Do not miss this. Marquee label signee Elli Acula joins. She’s a talent who’s been impossible to miss over the last ten years, hitting one hotspot after another with deadly, no-BS bangers. Her sound calls back to the timeless futurism and radical fusions that made the ‘90s a golden age, but Acula is her own woman. She belongs to no era but her own. Label affiliate Anna Z. makes her BASEMENT debut. A true sonic architect, she brings a technical mastery to her works and sets. Banging electro flavors and thick, venomous techno set it off. She goes b2b with J.Manuel. Like his compatriots, Manuel is a frequent live performer and an avid hardware producer. That knotty, livewire vibe infuses his DJ sets, which ripple and sizzle with freaky impunity. Get ready: Kevin Aviance is back. The legend of NY’s 90s club scene helped to articulate the era with an oeuvre of raucously liberated works. Explosive ballroom/club anthems like “Rhythm Is My Bitch” stride out from the speakers with fully fledged erotic confidence. In 2023, Aviance released “Body,” a razor sharp return to form. Aviance’s vocals erupt in time with drums, chanting “Body! Body! Body! I want to watch you! I want to see you!” Don’t let him down. x3butterfly matches Aviance’s energy with massive modern flair. They seize the moment, crafting huge, careening sets that swerve through garage, house, bass hybrids and much more. State of Bliss’ Ian Crane seals the deal with fluid, effusive euphoria. He follows up his forthcoming WIRE debut with a proper STUDIO session.
