Reprising its core themes of community, conversation and world-class techno, the programming includes two nights of exceptional DJs, collaborations with the underground’s leading collectives, thought-provoking panel discussions and stunning art installations. Stage 1 will be in Knockdown Center’s atrium, a sprawling and magnificent hall. The lineups for Stage 2 have been arranged in collaboration with two collectives whose names are synonymous with defiantly queer underground rave culture: Herrensauna and Fast Forward. A newly added Ambient Stage expands the scope of the programming. This year we’re partnering with Resident Advisor for a free discourse program of talks and workshops.
Enter a new dimension of MATTE Black.
MATTE Black has been uniting creative communities to experience music and art for 10 years strong. After two long years on hold, we’re happy to be back.
An orchestration of sound and form. A symphony of light and dark. A collision of sense and experience. A bridge to a new verse.
