Taikano presents Obscure Shape with JOHNNY5 // AJAY C

September belongs to us.

After months in the shadows, TAIKANO returns to unleash the first of three shows leading into our 9th Birthday celebrations this October.

This isn't a warm-up. This is the ignition.

For the first time ever we descend on The Art School on a Thursday night, hijacking Freshers Week and replacing cheap chart sh*te with uncompromising underground techno.

Heading the assault is OBSCURE SHAPE

A master of hypnotic, industrial pressure whose sound has torn through clubs and warehouses across Europe. Precision. Power. No escape. Expect a relentless journey built for those who like it dark, heavy and unforgiving.

Joining him is Glasgow's own JOHNNY5.

One of the city's most respected selectors, known for delivering fearless, no-nonsense sets that lock dancefloors together from the first kick to the last.

Opening the ritual...

AJAY C

Setting the frequency before everything spirals into organised chaos.

Three shows. One birthday.

Nine years of refusing to follow the crowd.

This is where the next chapter begins.

See you in the smoke.

The road to TAIKANO 9 starts here.
