Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to party with Gremlins at The Loons on November 15th. Co-piloting this vessel are local collectives Hang the Saints, Tender Buttons and Queer Horizons, bringing you a two-stage extravaganza of Ōtautahi talent. The upper deck’s queer rave will be lifting you to new heavenly heights, while slamming techno is brewing deep in the underbelly.
To celebrate one year of Gremlin’s goodness and the dynamism of the 03 underground, we’re pulling out all the stops. Step through the portal and transport yourself into an immersive experience, with Fantasia.AV crafting an insane visual trip, 103 Soundsystem powering the night, and local DJs, artists and performers blending together to create sonic and visual harmony. For one night only, enter a new realm shaped by the wildest imaginings of the Gremlins Universe.

Hang The Saints have been let loose in the lab, concocting a lineup of hefty techno and infecting our ears with the sickest sound. In the basement of Loons they will be hosting a bunker-style rave—so dress to sweat. Soundtracked by a colossal b2b with Chole and Jordun, alongside their very own Hunter and The Rat, Hang the Saints are ready to send us into hyperdrive.
Tender Buttons and Queer Horizons will be joining forces to steer the upper stage into a whole new dimension. These queer rave aficionados will take us to the furthest reaches of space and time, traversing through different genres and tempos before diving deep into the wormhole. Guiding this journey will be Jousey, Mapmaker, Maraschino Mommy and Tikka, your sonic navigators of the night.
Propelling us further into hyperspace are local legends 103 Soundsystem and Fantasia A.V. Receiving the highest quality audio and visuals is of the utmost importance to any tRAVElleR, so we’re extremely excited to have them on board for this expedition.
