Groove Into The Void is a Karachi based party aiming to provide Sanctuary to Pakistan's underground music community
Functions is our new interview series profiling parties from across the world. This week: Karachi's Groove Into The Void.
Eager to change societal perceptions of the underground community within their home country of Pakistan, Groove Into The Void provides a safe space for electronic music fans in the city of Karachi. The party lets revellers truly let loose to the music that they would otherwise have to only privately enjoy — free from homophobia, sexism and classism.
Founded in April 2021, the party has made a big impact in its short 12-month tenure. Hosting an event every couple of months, in a vacated farmhouse, roughly an hour and a half outside the centre of the city. Embracing nature and using audio-visual effects in some of their shows, organisers select the best DJs in the city to play everything from techno, tech-house, progressive house, and beyond. Founded on community values, the party stands up for the people of Pakistan who “just want to have a good time and don’t want to cause any trouble,” and they pride themselves in offering a sanctuary away from fear and judgement.
