Two of Melbourne's hardest-hitting techno names are about to share one ridiculously loud backroom.
Melbourne’s hard techno faithful, get ready: Emi Baz and Burjoe are joining forces for a brutal backroom takeover at Stamina.
Expect everything from punishing hard techno to faster, harder bounce-adjacent sounds across the night, with Stamina’s home inside the Banana Alley Vaults beneath Flinders Street providing the kind of industrial setting that suits the genre.

Emi Baz has spent the past year building a reputation through A3 Festival, Beyond The Valley and major club rooms across Sydney, Brisbane and Geelong, with a hard techno sound that sits at the punishing end of the spectrum without losing its drive.
Burjoe, meanwhile, is riding serious momentum heading into 2026; a release through Berlin’s Polyamor label, support from European tastemakers Somewhen and Cloudy, and a booking at Teletech all point to an artist whose reach now extends well past Melbourne.
Closer to home, a Dreamstate appearance and an upcoming headline slot at Sutra Sunrise show the local pull is just as strong, and that momentum lands squarely in Stamina’s lap this time around.
The night also features a backroom takeover from Pulsate under the Keep Up The Pace banner, adding another layer to a lineup that’s already stacked.
Stamina has carved out a reputation as one of Melbourne’s go-to weekly homes for hard techno and hard bounce, running out of the same century-old tunnel system every week and consistently pulling in both rising local talent and international names.
With Pulsate’s Keep Up The Pace backroom takeover running alongside the main floor, there’s plenty to pull punters between rooms across the night rather than parking in one spot.
Neither artist has shown signs of slowing down, and a pairing like this, one locally relentless, one increasingly global, feels like a fairly accurate snapshot of where Melbourne’s harder end of the dance floor is at right now.
