🌸The May edition of Bodyclock was a complete masterclass in techno. 💥 Huge thanks to everyone who brought the energy from start to finish.

⚡@hycastle set the tone immediately, delivering a set full of heavy, driving grooves and an intense momentum that pushed the dancefloor from start to finish.

✨Our residents @misskleio and Zola (@thoughtfulrevolutionsmusic) navigated the energy throughout the evening with their signature hypnotic Detroit selections.

🙌A massive congratulations to our friend @nick_sweetman on the opening of his newest solo show, "Why You Haven't Seen Me," currently showing at @iszagallery. Make sure to stop by and check out his work.

We’re back at @thepistonbar on May 14th, shifting gears for our dedicated Drum and Bass night featuring @_cutflower. 🔊

We're back with the May edition of our techno night. Joining us this evening, we have one of the best selectors Toronto's underground has to offer.

⚡Feature artist // @hycastle

Hycastle is a non-binary DJ, producer, and artist. They come to the booth with 15 years of music production experience and a nuanced approach to mixing. Their techno sets dig into hardgroove, industrial, and hypnotic sounds, the kind of selections that feel like they were pulled from somewhere dark, funky, and otherworldly. As co-owner of the @konduktor.to collective, one of Toronto's most forward-thinking electronic communities, they've helped build something genuinely special in the city. With billings alongside AADJA, UFO95, and DJ 3000 and a slot at Sojourn Festival last year, Hycastle brings a deep love and a sharp ear to every set they play. Come prepared to hear something you didn't expect and leave wanting more of it.

Bodyclock residents @misskleio and Zola (@thoughtfulrevolutionsmusic ) will help to guide us through the dark corridors of the night.

KONDUKTOR returns for its 11th edition, bringing another chapter of forward-thinking club music to Toronto. Rooted in electro but never defined by it, the project keeps growing, shaped by a community that shows up and keeps coming back💖

For this edition, KONDUKTOR welcomes @grrlmusic.
North Carolina’s GRRL is a DJ and producer with a monthly residency on NTS since 2015 and a discography that pulls the best from electro, techno, jersey club, grime, breaks, and jungle. Writing, producing, and mixing everything themselves, their tracks are built around dense percussion, glitchy vocal chops, and heavy club vibes designed for a powerful system inside a dark n sweaty room. This March, GRRL released “Beetle” a 24-track record that runs through ballroom, braindance, hyperpop, and hard-edged techno without losing focus. Give it a proper listen, and expect the same range in the set.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Joining us for the first time: @shaingel__ who is a regular in Toronto’s queer spaces, bringing bass-heavy and genre-fluid sets to the dance floor, including global club sound across ghettotech, gqom, bailefunk and more.

Support from residents @syncopated_alex and @hycastle going b2b for the first time, fusing freaky bass with deep technicality. Closing set from @xela.beats with some distorted analogue influenced breaks.

22:00-03:00

FEB 20TH - we're taking over a west end distillery for a night of psychedelic grooves and spacy vibes.
Stunning visuals and lighting by @venivenif, art, vendors, and spots to chill when you need a breather.

ELIXIR started as a Hycastle birthday thing, and they'll be celebrating another year around the sun this time, but the focus is on good music, good people, and space to let loose.

KONDUKTOR has grown another year, continuing to define itself as a platform for forward-thinking club music in Toronto. It’s been a wild journey we shared together from our first ever event in 2024 till this moment.

For our first party of 2026, we welcome PHASMID!

He is the boss of @taipantraxuk, a label known for deep technical cuts, designed to push club systems to their limits. His productions combine layered rhythms and meticulous sound-design, shaping a unique signature style influenced by cyberpunk and sci-fi aesthetics.

Over recent years, Phasmid has built a strong international presence, performing across the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia. His releases have earned support from DJs worldwide, as his work consistently appears in club and festival lineups across the globe. Known for selections that balance technicality with groove, Phasmid brings music that is both precise and experimental, appealing to audiences who value creativity and depth.
