Melbourne Techno Collective

Join us on Saturday October 4th for the offical re-launch of melbournetechnocollective.com.au at Miss Libertine. This will be a unique opportunity to catch up with the MTC crew as well as Melbourne’s techno faithful and chew the fat over some quiet pre-drinks before heading off to the frenzied activities of a Saturday night in Melbourne town. The MTC residents will of course be performing on the night but there will also be a heap of give aways and prizes including UDJ CD wallets, limited edition MTC t-shirts, MTC stickers and a fantastic competition for up and coming techno DJs which we will announce on the night.

It will kick off at 8pm running through till 2am to allow for everyone to hit the other events that will no doubt be happening on the night. Entry is free and there will be $3 pots and $5 basic spirits all night.

Watch this space for more details as they emerge.

MTC website re-launch, September 4th at Miss Libertine 34 Franklin st Melb 8pm-2am

Congratulations to Dan Greco who was the winner of our Tastes Like Techno competition and earned himself a double pass to our show on Friday night, we hope you had a great time. Dan’s response was so good we thought we would post it here.

Q. Send us a recipe for techno stew?

Ans.

Dan’s delectable ‘Souffle De Technoir’..serves 4

2 cups TR 909 kick drum
2 cups TR snare (can be replaced with hand claps if desired)
500ml of quirky acid bass
200ml ambient atmos
Pinch of grated Joel Mull releases (or diced Adam Beyer, whichever Swede is available)
1 generous handful of minimal Hawtin (fresh if possible)

Simmer the drums into a rhythm, lightly stir in acid bass (mix should start to thicken), remove from the heat and sprinkle in the Hawtin. Around now pour in half the atmos, with a pinch of Joel Mull – taste should be vibrant, not too heavy, if so add more atmos.If you find the souffle tastes too rich/kind of cheesy, you can resort to a few drops of a German God; Heiko or Rother for example.

Set oven to 140 bpm and leave for 7-10 min….. Wallah Souffle De Technoir, enjoy!!
