ALAVATE
Minimal Techno's Mile-High Madman
Started at 16. Beat everyone at their own game by 18. Now? Still flying laps around the scene while most are still booting up their USBs.
Born in the belly of Melbourne's underground, Alavate clawed his way through the smoke machines and strobe lights with nothing but a love for the low-end and a USB full of secrets. He won the Cloud Nine comp (2016) before most of us learned to sync a track, then never looked back, except to see the crowd losing their minds behind him.
He’s dropped heaters on Hungry Koala, raided sets with minimal mayhem, and remixed your guilty pleasures into club anthems. If your hips moved in the past five years and you didn’t know why… it was probably him.
A resident of the after-hours and ambassador for Pilots Lounge (don’t ask what they fly, just go), his schedule’s more packed than the smokers at 2 AM. From TikTok edits to warehouse chaos, Alavate doesn’t just play tracks, he hijacks your nervous system and rewires it to surge.
Expect pulse. Expect bass. Expect a blackout (emotional or otherwise).
This isn’t commercial. This isn’t polite.
This is Alavate. And Melbourne would be boring without him.
