SEV1 (Patrick Tabb) is a live techno artist crafting immersive, improvised sets that merge the raw precision of modular synthesis with the chaos of the natural world.
Armed with a modular system for drums, percussion and melodic structures, as well as samplers for textural elements - SEV1 performs entirely live— each performance is a one-time ritual: A conversation between him and the machines.
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia he grew up immersed in the surrounding deep woods and took up drumming at an early age, which inspires the percussion heavy sound of his sets. Exploring the tension between synthetic order and chaotic life, SEV1 performances evolve like living systems—disintegrating, rebuilding, and pulsing with hypnotic energy. From gritty warehouse grooves to decayed ambience and fractured field recordings, he shapes audio environments designed to move both body and mind.
Whether in dark clubs, or experimental spaces, SEV1 brings a ritualistic edge to the dancefloor—blurring the boundaries between technology, ecology, and human expression.

BUSH DÜF assembles a lineup of live techno, all the way from the bouncy to the barreling, to celebrate our first outdoor event in many years. Join us on the first Saturday of May at @thesultanroom rooftop for a special occasion where the sounds of the club are brought to life by instrumentation.
Ardanzo opens as a trio composed of @_lorenzob , @djdannylynch and @_arlandob . Using vintage and cutting-edge synths and ethereal sampling, their ambient-influenced collages tap into the cosmic background of the natural world.
@sev1live is a producer and performer of psychedelic, immersive rhythms. His mechanical precision as hardware head is mediated by his thoughtful entrancement as a live performer of propulsive yet blissful space.
@_rainbowlightbody carries us into darkness with their electrifying approach to hypnotic industrial techno, intercepted from an interstellar storm by aid of guitar and modular synthesizer. A long-running favorite of our party, this is their much-awaited first performance of the year.
@metadance_1.0 is the duo consisting of @_nickjoz and @aarondjuan focused on jackin’ live techno. The former a drummer and the latter a saxophonist, their respective accomplishments span productions featured by Bandcamp Daily and instrumental contributions on Grammy-nominated albums.

Introducing:
@sev1live
SEV1 (Patrick Tabb) is a live techno artist from NYC. He uses samplers and modular synths to improvise percussive, deep and hypnotic sets.
He began drums and percussion at age 10 and working in a printing plant and metal factory in his teens and 20s started an early obsession with percussive repetition and machine music. This experience has given him a powerful stage presence and mastery of groove which brings kinetic energy in a natural and organic way. From deep and percussive hypnotism to textured field recordings, he shapes audio environments designed to move both body and mind.
@djdannylynch
New York native Danny Lynch has spent over a decade haunting the underground, living and dying many musical lives along the way. From packed bars to disco throwdowns to major North American stages, he's done it all, and his techno sets are richer for it. His 2025 EP Future Self in the Past (as uniVerse w/ John Barera) proves he can get weird in the best way, and new material is already incoming. Brace accordingly.
@a_p_s
APS has been dancing on local dance floors since 2015 and began DJing and producing in 2020. In his sets and products he seeks to find an underlying rhythm that holds these opposites together, as that difference and repetition works to create an encounter with one’s body and desire that breaks apart the coherence of the ego.
