FOUNDATIONS FT. LOVEFROMSOPHH & BIGELOW (HYPNO) // INNER CITY INDOOR LOCATION // 16/05/26 // NO PHONE CAMERAS → DM FOR INVITE

LOCATION :: Inner City Indoor Newcastle Location //EDIT DUE TO SOME CHANGES IN AVAILABILITY HOMEBODY CANNOT JOIN US - MOZZ WILL BE REPLACING THIS SET TIME After a long hiatus, and a few ups and downs along the way, we are back with another series of events to usher in a huge new year for Foundations Techno. We have moved beyond our public sales model and transitioned Foundations into an invite-only event to uphold the integrity and dedication of our community. If you haven’t received an invitation to our private group yet, please reach out. This May, we welcome Bigelow (HYPNO), whose style is driven by raw rhythm, rolling intensity, and dense layering. He uses gradual shifts in energy to lock the listener into the narrative he aims to convey. Joining him is Lovefromsoph, a devoted artist who is defined by their distinct sound to the techno scene. Exploring gritty kicks and captivating grooves, Soph favors a raw, hypnotic sound. She pushes boundaries with a delicate blend of psytrance and techno, capturing tribal, atmospheric, and psychedelic elements at a higher, yet minimal, tempo. With local support from Mozz, we cannot wait to welcome you back to the dance floor come May. Much love, Foundations xx

FOUNDATIONS FT. CONNOR WALL (NAARM) // INNER CITY NEWY INDOOR LOCATION // 26/07/25 // NO PHONE CAMERAS → PRESALE ONLINE IN 24HRS

LOCATION :: MULUBINBA / NEWCASTLE
 Once again we usher in another Foundations Techno event in 4 weeks time. The last two events have been something to behold and every single time we are blown away with the crowd. The term “artist to watch” gets thrown around a lot these days, especially with the volume of new artists entering the scene with unprecedented access to tracks, information, and technology. Often, however, it’s a certain attitude that elevates the true heads above the groundswell of an ocean of new artists, and Connor Wall is unquestionably of this ilk. Wall’s creative consistency has allowed him to shape his sound into the weighty, thunderous, and effective tracks you can hear on labels like Amsterdam’s Float Records, Glasgow’s Oscillator One, Treatment and Philippa Pacho’s Phorum. SIGN UP FOR OUR PRESALE AT FOUNDATIONSTECHNO.COM

FOUNDATIONS FT. LOVEFROMSOPHH & BIGELOW (HYPNO) // INNER CITY INDOOR LOCATION // 16/05/26 // NO PHONE CAMERAS → DM FOR INVITE
 This Saturday, we welcome BIGELOW, one of Sydney’s finest DJ’s and founder of HYPNO. Having welcomed international heavyweights like Philippa Pacho, HITAM, and MARRON through Hypno, BIGELOWS own style is heavily driven by raw rhythm, rolling intensity, and dense layering. He uses gradual shifts in energy to lock the listener into a carefully crafted narrative. We cannot wait to see what what he brings to FOUNDATIONS

Next up on the Foundations Sounds Of series, we welcome one of Sydney’s finest. BIGELOW is a DJ and the founder of Hypno. SYD. Having welcomed international heavyweights like Philippa Pacho, HITAM, and MARRON through Hypno, BIGELOWS own style is heavily driven by raw rhythm, rolling intensity, and dense layering. He uses - gradual shifts in energy to lock the listener into a carefully crafted narrative. We asked BIGELOW for his thoughts on this mix: “For this mix, I tried to stay aligned with my ongoing philosophy of treating each set as a narrative rather than a collection of moments. Over time I’ve come to realise that the art of DJing isn’t defined by technical display or cheap thrills, but the ability to shape a compelling story through your sound and vision. When a story is given space to breathe, it naturally permeates the room, shaping the experience of the floor as much as the music itself. That’s my main goal when I play nowadays.” Head over to our SoundCloud for the mix. Much love, Foundations xx

Proud to announce that co-founders @mozz_ & @f.rits will be playing on the Friday before Grace Dahl at this year’s @subsonicmusic festival. It has always been a dream of ours to play at a prestigious and well renowned festival, and now we get to do such a thing. And it probably wouldn’t be able to happen without the little community we have built in Newcastle this year and beyond. We cannot wait to show you what we have in store and we also cannot wait to check out all of the other wonderful acts that are on this year’s lineup! Use code MOZFRIT15 for a discount ticket with the direct link in bio and we hope to see you there x

Hi Friends, Unfortunately, due to venue constraints and circumstances outside of our control, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel Foundations Techno in Newcastle this weekend. We’re genuinely disappointed, as this year we’ve worked hard to deliver an event every 8 weeks and were especially excited to welcome our very first international headliner to our dance floor. All ticket holders will receive a full refund and a 50% discount code for our next show as a thank you for your support and understanding. Much love, Mozz & F.RITS
