Gig Information

After 15 workshops since 2023, Techno Echo is having one more end of year showcase, highlighting and celebrating our guest artists and attendees from our events this year.    

Featuring:

beet-wix: the moniker of multi-faceted musician Lucy Pollock (RIOT GULL). they craft noisy-pop ballads on a Nintendo DS originally borrowed from the Ōtepoti art school, and are ready to cause some charming chiptune chaos. Outside of beet-wix Lucy composes contemporary classical music and has recently started an electronic label called scrap metal cereal.

DJ Katnip: first and foremost a dancefloor disciple, and therefore when they are behind the decks you can expect anything that makes you move your feet, sometimes in an erratically fast and silly fashion - read Donk - sometimes floating in outer space - read ambient. They recently moved to NZ from London where they got into DJing in the squat party scene made for and by activists to let some steam off the shit show that we call civilisation and experience collective joy of movement.

Dream Chambers: a multifaceted musician where she uses modular synthesizers and voice to create a sound recently described by The Nashville Scene as... full of warm, organic emotion, alternating between tuneful musicality and raw, spiritual fervor. Initially known in Aotearoa as an APRA award-winning singer-songwriter Jess relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in 2012 where she encountered a vibrant underground electronic music scene and began a transformative journey into the world of synthesizers. A seasoned performer, recent highlights include a tour of the US performing a live score of the 1920s classic vampire film 'Nosferatu' and a commission by Nashville-based classical ensemble Chatterbird to perform The Blossoming, a concert featuring six of her works expanded for flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and harp, arranged by Pōneke-based composer Sonya Waters. Jess is currently based back in Aotearoa where she teaches music production, composition, and performance at the Massey University College of Creative Arts and co-facilitates Techno Echo at Pyramid Club

hara: Indonesian singer-songwriter Rara Sekar’s solo project. Her music blends inspiration from folk with Indonesian traditional music, cinematic pop, ambient and field recording with a focus on exploring themes of ecology, vulnerability and politics. Her work is an interdisciplinary practice that is informed by Indonesian traditions and rituals, weaving music, social and cultural research and critical pedagogy in her recordings, writings and performances. She prefers to perform in quiet or outdoor/natural spaces but has performed at selected music and literary festivals such as Joyland Festival in Jakarta, Ubud Readers and Writers Festival in Bali, Makassar International Writers Festival, opening act for Japanese singer-songwriter Ichiko Aoba’s Saison de Fleur’s tour in Jakarta, Camp A Low Hum and Newtown Festival in Wellington, New Zealand.

Hazel Elder: a solo songwriter/producer who blends hypnotic beats with a love for distortion and emotional lyrics. Glitchy drum loops, deep sub-bass, lush synths, and distorted guitars form a seductive soundscape for her passionate and vulnerable songwriting: an unearthly, immersive trip.
