Polotechnics turns one! This is a special event with the best of New York and Toronto underground Iranian artists: Sepehr, Koohyaar and Paria.

Sonic maverick Sepehr of Shaytoon Records returns to headline this all night dance party at a brand new venue, The Bridge on Adelaide Street West. His DJ sets range from off-kilter house and psychedelic techno, to haute electro, aphrodisiac acid and freaky jakbeat. A live set by Koohyaar and a DJ set by Paria from Secret Contact Records open the night promising dark, groovy sounds rooted in experimental electronics, dub and industrial techno.

Link Music Lab is thrilled to present this anniversary party in collaboration with UKAI Projects and Dreamweaver AV.

Polotechnics shines a light on international and local artists from the Iranian diasporic underground, shifting and broadening perspectives of Persian electronic music. From high-energy dance beats to contemplative sound art, Link Music Lab’s new series invites a range of genres such as EBM, electro, techno, acid and all things synth. Polotechnics is a portmanteau of “Technics”, the Japanese brand name for a line of high-end audio equipment and the Farsi word for rice, also polo, aiming to nourish the soul by expanding perceptions of Iranian electronic music.

Link Music Lab gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Canadian Heritage and Canada Council for the Arts.
