Len Faki, Octave One, Volvox
About This Event
Len Faki, Octave One and Volvox appear at the Knockdown Center, bringing different strands of techno to the same bill: Faki’s studio-disciplined, club-focused sets; Octave One’s hardware-driven, performance-minded approach; and Volvox’s contemporary, dance-floor-centric programming. All three favor structure and momentum over spectacle, with an emphasis on transitions, pacing and sound design.
