SECOND ROOM ADDED!

Dear Paradox Family,

The countdown has begun, and we’re beyond thrilled to unveil something extraordinary for Friday's 3-year anniversary celebration.

We’ve secured an incredible two-room venue—a space that’s as dynamic and layered as the night we have planned. This shift opens the door to an even more immersive, otherworldly experience—something that has to be felt to be believed.

What awaits you:

Upstairs: A dark, minimal space pulsing with energy, featuring a powerful Danley sound system. This is where Circumscums and Takaaki will take us deep into uncharted sonic territory. Prepare for a journey that bends time and space.
Downstairs: A hidden sanctuary. Step into an ambient oasis, where soothing soundscapes set the tone for relaxation. You’ll find cozy spaces to sit or lay back and immerse yourself in ambient music, while being transported by breathtaking projection mapping by and . This room, curated by , will feature:





Let your senses wander as visuals and sound merge to create an unforgettable journey—a true visual and auditory trip.

With both floors activated, this will be an anniversary unlike any other.

Tickets are running low. The buzz is real, and demand is high. If you want to be part of this moment, secure your spot now—before it’s too late.

Something magical is on the horizon, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

See you this weekend,
The Paradox Reset Team

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: TAKAAKI ITOH ()

On November 29 we welcome one of the most prolific artists in the past decades from Japan. Active for nearly three decades, the Japanese DJ and producer has been carving out a niche truly of his own in the realm of deep techno. Takaaki champions a sound highly dynamic, yet infused with the kind of minute textural work and layers of modular complexity one can not but marvel at (you will soon).

Each time any of our team has witnessed Takaaki Itoh taking control of a booth has been otherworldly. Pushing sonic frequencies and booms, and asserting tension control like no other. This is going to be a special psychedelic treat in the shell of our home on our beloved PARAFLEX system.

Less than 10 tickets remain before final tier. Don't miss your chance 😉

Celebrating 3 years of Paradox, Nov 29 with Takaaki Itoh & Circumscums.

has been one of the most prolific artists in the past decades from Japan. Active for nearly three decades, the Japanese DJ and producer has been carving out a niche truly of his own in the realm of deep techno. Takaaki champions a sound highly dynamic, yet infused with the kind of minute textural work and layers of modular complexity one can not but marvel at (you will soon).

Actively pushing quality dub angularity, oblique pumpers and wilder-than-wild sub-heavy traction to enlightened ears since 1994, Takaaki has teleported ravers across to globe to upper spheres of consciousness. There’s few others we would want to push frequencies out of our lovely PARAFLEX system to ring in a new year of Paradox with all of you.

To mark our three year milestone, opening the night with a 3 hour journey will be our founding fathers, .

As always, we are committed to prioritizing the safety of our attendees by providing a space where everyone is welcome. Please read our house rules before entering.

Tickets are already on 3rd release as we have released tickets to our email subscribers first before the public.

We could not be more excited for this edition of Paradox Presents, with two absolute powerhouses who have given plenty to the history of techno in North America, and of whom we draw a lot of our inspiration on how the party experience should be.

Minneapolis has delivered several artists to the techno world, but is regarded as one of the godfathers, DJing throughout the US and beyond for nearly two decades. He's also been throwing some of Minneapolis’ best parties with various collaborators, under the name as well as the well know festival . He is just as likely to be seen up front dancing in front of the speakers, as he is behind the decks. Expect hypnotic grooves designed to lead the listener into the centrifical vortex.

has enticed crowds all over the world at venues such as Berghain, WAS, De School, Basement, Nowadays, and numerous underground warehouses. Originally hailing from the city of Chicago, she started out like most; as a random kid on the dance floor every week at places like The Generator and Boom Boom Room. Juana started obsessively collecting disco and early house records in the late 90s and eventually developed an undying penchant for straight-ahead techno and darker shades of Chicago underground acid and deep house of the 80s and 90s. Strap in those shoes for some unadulterated pure to the core techno.

Playing alongside these two pillars of North American techno is the Paradox debut of talented Toronto selector, . Her visceral mixes lean on rubbery techno, gritty electro, and progressive breakbeat. We are ecstatic to see what she cooks up in the Paradox booth to kick off the night.

We'll see you under the chutes' on August 16th for our final jam of the summer 🪂🪂🪂

has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. Influenced by the hypnotic and energetic sound helmed by veterans such as Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin, he gradually but steadily developed his own identity in the international techno scene, establishing Token Records in 2007.

As a DJ, Kr!z takes listeners on journey’s
surpassing space and time. Led by deeply
hypnotic grooves, syncopated rhythms and widely reverberating atmospheres, his desire to guide the dancefloor into unknown depths can be felt with every note. Intensities build up and collapse under his skillful hands, knowing what each k**b twist will result in. Each set feels almost like a mathematical calculation, deciphering the code of collective ecstasy.

Since 2023, Amotik has been at the heart of his own label , which serves up some of the most corrosive, jaw-breaking, knee-buckling material in the field of techno, but also some of the most intriguing beatless, ambient-friendly gems.

Playing alongside Amotik are two Toronto mainstays who hardly need an introduction:
