Machine celebrates 13 years of exploration through techno music x art

Starting back in 2009 Machine is the longest running night at My Aeon, it has also has proven to be somewhat of a signal beacon for the emergence of a mature and considered revision of techno music, art and culture. Significantly, Machine is populated by a mix of age groups: representative of youth and maturity, enjoying an environment together, each bringing something to the table. No-where is this more apparent than in the artist roster, which boasts a swathe of established older artists, pulled by the lure of an event that is multi faceted, intelligent and offers the promise of something many artists yearned for in the techno field: recognition of artistic expression. Further to this cause is the attraction of a band of artists, new to the fold, rallied by the sophisticated approach to sound which is at odds with typical commercial interests. The young welcome this apparently vibrant and expressive scene that clearly holds the interest of older heads than their own, that promises something more than a passing fad-like appeal. Machine exists in this duality and celebrates the diversity it affords: old and young, queer and bent, gender fluid and gender neutral, and all kinds of orientations clear and murky. We invite you into the mix for the night-time adventures to come for our 13th birthday Albert Chiovenda (Syd) Andrew Till (Machine) Dane Dromo (Machine Label) Dominic Hogan Emmymaie (Machine) Juan Tellez (Machine Label) Simon Slieker (Machine) Visuals: VDMO
