Seattlites have been asking for decades one question of most resounding importance: “where best to get my techno dosage?” Technocore 9 brings them that answer, in a slick 4-in-1 solution that puts to rest the four on the floor arms race that every weekend has us fighting to solve. Our artists have fine-tuned their sets to deliver a package that hits the most gutteral lows, dingy depths, industrial scaffolding, and gyrating highs of techno that will quench the thirst of both purist and drunkard alike. Consumer reports consistently rank it the best in show, so when you’re asking yourself what to do that mid April weekend, ask for Technocore 9.

In body, purpose, and sound, Frums stands for one main thing: experimentation. Known for pushing those limits via drilling into your mind its over decade long discography, it does so too in body by breaking rhythm game paradigms in arcades (CHUNITHM, Taiko no Tatsujin, maimai) and phones (Arcaea, Cytus II) alike. It’ll showcase this modus operandi for us again, as its voyuers, as it plays with its toys alongside us. Using its Syntakt and friends, it’ll guide us into an abandon it knows best with a crass four on the floor rhythm towards the end of forgetting all shame you might feel on the dancefloor, and how to take those lessons home with you.

Flaaroni is a former Geometry Dash YouTuber turned hardware synth nerd, making a live set on their Elektron Digitone 2 and Analog Rytm. “I was actually a pianist throughout basically my entire childhood until I realized I hated classical music.” Their performance will primarily be a showcase of industrial techno, but they have a bunch of other influences thrown in the soup, too. “This will be my first show ever and I’m so happy to be at a point where I can show off my music to other people. Also, I may or may not have snuck in a ton of samples from Geometry Dash songs.”
