Presenting:
MICHAEL KROCHAK
VADIM KHAN
Friday, June 13 2025
9pm – 3am
Cover $10
June marks a special milestone for TechnoSalon – our two-year anniversary. What began as a gathering for lovers of deep, underground techno has grown into a vibrant community of dancers, listeners, and sonic explorers. To honour this journey, we invite you to a night that reflects the essence of what TechnoSalon has become: immersive, raw, and unforgettable.
For this celebratory edition, we welcome two of Toronto’s most respected selectors:
Vadim Khan brings a deep, transportive sound — a hypnotic blend of techno, acid, and minimal textures.
His sets are known for their slow burn and subtle intensity, drawing dancers into a heady trance where time seems to dissolve. A long-time figure in the city’s underground scene, Vadim’s presence behind the decks is both commanding and deeply intuitive.
Michael Krochak offers a darker, grittier ride through the techno spectrum. With decades of experience and an ear for the unexpected, Michael crafts sets that are both cerebral and physically gripping. His selections often blur the line between genres, weaving in elements of industrial, electro, and leftfield techno with a sharp, relentless edge.
As always, the space will be intimate, the sound dialed in, and the energy focused. Expect a night of deep listening, sweat, movement, and connection – a celebration not just of music, but of the community that’s made TechnoSalon what it is.
We can’t wait to dance with you.
