Machine Australia - Machine Club

MACHINE

Machine has proven to be somewhat of a signal beacon for the emergence of a mature and considered revision of techno music, art and culture in Melbourne for the past 12 years with over 100 events at My Aeon in Brunswick. Not surprising perhaps when it is revealed that the main resident Dj's Andrew Till and Simon Slieker, have over 55 years of professional music industry involvement between them.

Machine club is the hang-out for this re-emergence. 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. Could it signal the “growing up” of the misdirected youth, ever the villain: techno music?

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 Label artist Metapattern, now based in Berlin, will be making an exclusive appearance in Melbourne after a many year absence.

Joining him is local superstar Fergus Sweetland of Bomphcast and Hayes Collective, who is making his first appearance for both crews.

Providing additional support is Southern Lights boss Daniel Filipovic, bringing with him his signature deep and hypnotic sounds. Rounding out the guests will be Olivias, a vinyl only DJ duo that will be supplying an eclectic Electro focused experience to the upstairs room on the night.

Alongside all these amazing invitees will of course be Machine and Technoir chiefs Andrew Till and Ranjit Nijjer, together with double agent Simon Slieker, an integral part of both brands.

Live visuals will be provided by the super talented VDMO and the sound will be delivered by one of this city’s premier Funktion One sound systems.

This will definitely be one for the ages!
