BLACK LABEL: A NIGHT DEDICATED TO PROPER TECHNO

From the collective that brought the industry’s undisputed titans Carl Cox, Pan-Pot, Juliet Fox, Luigi Madonna, Harvey McKay and Pig&Dan plus more to NZ shores - comes a new chapter in the underground.

Collude presents: Black Label.

This isn't a "business techno" showcase or a mainstream crossover. This is a return to the foundations. Black Label is a curated sanctuary built for the dedicated, focused on high-grade sonic textures, unrelenting rhythms, and the local architects of the sound who keep the pulse of our scene beating.

The Blueprint
The Sound: No gimmicks. No "foney" fillers. Just raw, driving, high-fidelity techno.

The Mission: A night dedicated to the local contributors and the purists who know the difference.

"Black Label is for those who live for the shadows and the kick drum."

Tickets go on sale Monday 9th of March at 7pm and limited.
