Here are some of our favorite techno warriors to keep an eye out for this weekend:
Pan-Pot
Pan-Pot’s uncompromising Berlin-style opens awe-inspiring acoustic spaces, fueled by rocking sequences, darkly euphoric synths, and cascades of white noise. Since their Time Warp debut in 2012, they have been family members and companions, ready to twist our festival crowd into rapturous fits with their colossal, haunting techno. Each year we have experienced Pan-Pot touching the writhing, euphoric, dancing seas of bodies at Time Warp – if you have not had the pleasure of experiencing them yet, put them on the top of your to-see list.
Nina Kraviz
She might be techno’s most divisive figure. A truly independent and musically fearless artist, her sets stand out from other DJs’ slickly synchronized, clinically pristine beats. Nina’s style is unkempt, hard to define, yet never dull. Her sets are played fast and loose with the “ghetto house”, old-school hardcore, footwork, trance, drum’n’bass and her favorite genre, acid.
Stephan Bodzin (live)
This Afterlife label virtuoso has been a hugely influential figure within the global techno scene for years. His driving, hypnotic productions are highly authentic with a memorable sense of melody that sticks in your mind and his impressive live performances take entire dance floors on a ride through his diverse musical influences. Known for his iconic and vivid sound design, one of the modern greats is coming to Time Warp in New York City for an unforgettable live performance!
