Klangkuenstler

Techno

Klangkuenstler has become one of the defining names in the newer wave of harder European techno, but what makes him hit is that his sound does not feel like empty hard-techno content or pure kick-drum brutality. Underneath the speed and force, there is a very deliberate connection to ’90s and early-2000s rave and techno, which is why his sets feel more driving, hypnotic, and emotionally charged than a lot of the more disposable industrial stuff floating around right now. He actually started out making deeper house and tech house before shifting harder around 2018, and that evolution matters because you can still hear a sense of groove and structure in the way he builds tracks instead of just chasing shock value. Through Outworld, he has also built a whole visual and sonic world around that sound, which helped position him not just as another hard techno headliner but as one of the artists really shaping what this current raw, old-school-meets-new-school Berlin techno wave looks like.

VTSS

Techno

VTSS built her name on hard, fast, high-impact techno, but her world has always stretched far beyond one sound. Born Martyna Maja and shaped by Warsaw’s DIY underground, she started going to clubs young, later leaving law school to study sound engineering and throw herself fully into DJing and production. Her career accelerated after moving to Berlin, where explosive sets and early releases like *Identity Process* turned her into a fixture at clubs including Berghain and pushed her onto the international circuit. A later move to London opened the door to a more genre-fluid approach, pulling electro, trance, bass, breaks, pop, and harder rave sounds into the techno foundation she had become known for. Releases through Ninja Tune and Technicolour, including *Projections* and *Circulus Vitiosus*, also saw her move deeper into songwriting and vocals, expanding VTSS from a DJ project into a broader creative identity. Since then, she’s become a regular across major clubs and festivals worldwide while continuing to push into unexpected territory, with recent releases carrying that restless approach forward. Today, a VTSS set is fast, playful, unpredictable, and built for maximum impact—jumping between pounding techno, euphoric trance, electro, bass-heavy club music, and left-turn selections without losing the intensity that made her one of the standout names of her generation.

Adiel

Techno

Adiel has built her world around hypnotic techno, combining deep, tribal rhythms, atmospheric tension, and a raw sense of movement into sets that feel both immersive and physical.

Goa became her musical school, giving her the space to develop the patient, instinctive approach that would become central to her sound. In 2016, she launched Danza Tribale as an outlet for her own productions and a platform for deeper experimentation, gradually building a catalog and creative identity rooted in freedom rather than trends. From Rome, that momentum carried her onto international stages including Berghain, Fabric, DC-10, Dekmantel, Time Warp, and Awakenings, establishing her as one of Italy’s most distinctive techno exports. A committed vinyl DJ with a background in classical ballet, Adiel brings a particular sense of discipline and physicality to the booth, balancing precision with improvisation and an ability to stretch a dancefloor into darker, more psychedelic territory. Today, her sets move through hypnotic techno, tribal percussion, deep atmospheres, and rolling rhythms with an organic flow, intense enough for peak time, but always focused on creating a journey rather than simply chasing impact.
