For its inaugural gathering, pselodia welcomes Japanese techno pioneer Takaaki Itoh, alongside founder Ali Bilal and Jennifer Ratnai, for six hours of carefully considered programming with a focus of traversing the hypnotic influence, embellished soundscapes and physical nature of techno.

At the forefront of Japan's underground techno movement, Takaaki Itoh has remained an influential figure in the country's electronic music landscape since 1994. Widely recognised as one of Japan's pioneering techno artists, Itoh has played an instrumental role in shaping the scene across northern Japan, organising some of the region's most significant electronic music events. 

Opening the evening is Ali Bilal, founder of pselodia. Recognised for his technical precision, instinctive improvisation and deeply considered approach to sonic storytelling, Ali navigates the more intricate and atmospheric territories of techno with patience and intention. Drawing upon an expansive collection of electronic music, Ali will establish the evening's foundations through a deliberate progression of rhythm, texture and atmosphere.

Concluding the inaugural gathering is Jennifer Ratnai, an emerging creative from Dharawal Country whose approach to techno is characterised by depth, emotional intuition and an appreciation for the evolving relationship between rhythm and atmosphere. Influenced by a diverse musical upbringing and her experiences within Australia's underground dancefloors, Jennifer has developed a distinctive affinity for powerful low frequencies, intricate percussion and driving rhythmic arrangements.

Any form of antisocial or discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in immediate ejection from the venue.
