Ultraviolet - Digital Sludge [CU018] is out today on all platforms! Huge thanks to Will for the pleasure of releasing such high quality music.

Treat your ears and USB with a stream or download from your favourite platform. Ours is bandcamp by the way! Your support means a lot and helps us continue our mission of promoting quality underground dance music from Aotearoa 💕💕

EP opener ‘Aggregate’ sets a compelling tone; deep FM plucks accentuate a groovy sub line propelled by an insistent 4-to-the-floor kick and ride. A dizzying synth hook completes the playful offering which is sure to inspire quirky expression on the dancefloor. Moving into darker territory, ‘00_grav’ sees UV provide an expertly crafted atmospheric breakbeat environment to house a tortured and menacing 303 line. Straight to the shadow realm with this gritty number.

‘e2’ is the most whimsical offering, conjuring up imagery of a toxic waste laboratory evocative of the EP title. Relentless breakbeat chops and a bubbling synth sequence are circled by a fizzy reese-saw for an immersive and disorienting experience. Closing out the release is ‘Transfusion Module’; an absolute peak-time bush doof weapon guaranteed to leave even the most seasoned ravers satisfied.

Thanks again to for the sick artwork, and for the magic final touch.

BAHNS about to deliver the final blow this Saturday as he closes out the night with some of the most relentless 4 to the floor rhythms a CU night has ever facilitated.

Following his breakout EP release ‘Brink’, Bahns has refined a sharp and militant sound inspired by the palette of 90s Jungle and the driving energy of techno, all filtered through the lens of Aotearoa’s thriving underground bass music culture.

For his debut CU release, Bahns aimed to combine these influences with his love for Southern US Hip-Hop and the hectic 2-beat loops of hardgroove, while showcasing his uniquely clinical yet gritty production. The result was 4 absolutely ridiculous 160bpm techno tracks, rife with Ōtautahi flavour - OT.IN.THE.03.

We've been overwhelmed by the amount of support for Bahns recent EP release. So thank you. Come celebrate with us in the only appropriate way - with a sweaty basement rave.

This Saturday! We are stoked to welcome one of our own resident DJs for her solo CU club night debut!

INFORDIN (Ngāi Tūhoe/ Ngāti Raukawa) has been carving a warpath in the Ōtautahi underground scene. Since the end of 22, Infordin has supported the likes of IPC, Main Phase and Coco Bryce, while creating her own club night .inc - a passion project which aims to give space and opportunity to BIPOC creative & party goers. Resident DJ for our weekly radio show on and , Infordin has firmly solidified her place as a mainstay of Aotearoa's underground dance scene.

Constantly on the hunt for only the hardest rhythms and grooves from the realms of techno, club, amapiano, garage, juke, and wider UK bass - any and all rave goers can expect eclectic sonics with an emphasis on NRG.

This is how long Keanu Raves & Protection Spell have been playing music together.

Whether playing post-punk, emotional trap or techno, these two are always in sync thanks to a lifelong friendship forged through countless discussions on philosophy, FM synthesis and niche RPGs.

Almost 1 year since their last B2B, Keanu is once again about to depart for Berlin so this will be the pair's last live collaboration for a while, but certainly not forever.

Club Unique 10. Loons Basement. Saturday March 30th.

Next weekend! We're proud to present an all local lineup of artists with firm roots in the Ōtautahi scene.

Bianca Treesè enjoys taking a methodical yet playful approach to techno and rave music. Her energetic mixes blend bouncy basslines, spatial soundscapes and enthralling rhythms. Touches of edge and sprinklings of feminine energy are barely skimped on, making for a fun, juicy, and daring dance floor experience.

29/02/2024

We're hosting our first party in the Loons Basement in celebration of our recent release from Bahns - OT.IN.THE.03.

☠️ ELASTIC COITUS ☠️

Underground hit of Pōneke, is shaping the future. She has played sets for iconique event collectives such as Third Party, MESH, and .pnt

Navigating the early foundations of UK rave music and intersecting with the industrial sub terrain of modern club culture. Elastic Coitus shapes the past and present into an affectionate and thoughtlessly twee expression of the future. Shaped by London and tainted by Berlin, we may just go to Ibiza.

Catch Elastic Coitus closing out the night this Saturday at .capacitor 💞

18/10/2022

Club Unique residents & Malware MD will be warming up the floor this Saturday before some way cooler DJs take over and do their thing.

I'll be aspiring to match Malware's tidy posture.

Looking forward to seeing you all 💞

⚠️ INFORDIN B2B PHRENCH KONNEKTION ⚠️

Very excited to host these two for their debut B2B. What to expect? They say...

"Born out of a shared love for dance music and sass, these two man-eaters are excited to hit the ground running with a thoughtfully curated set of techno, breaks and tongue-in-cheek ghetto sounds. General hot bitch s**t"

Catch them in the .capacitor courtyard this Saturday 🔥🔥🔥
