10 YEARS OF GLITCH 👾

Glitch Festival turns a decade old this August, and the programming clearly reflects a dedication to deliberate curation. Here are five pure techno plays you should have on your radar for Malta this summer.

1) Rødhåd — sharing a booth with Ben Klock at Glitch for the first time. Two artists whose histories are deeply woven into this festival’s ten-year identity, in a pairing that defines what this anniversary was built to deliver.

2) DJ Nobu — performing b2b with Wata Igarashi. Both bring a distinctly Japanese sensibility to techno: delicate where Berlin is blunt, detail-obsessed and nuance-centric where others play primarily for impact. Nobu has spent decades building his own sonic universe through Future Terror; Igarashi brings crystalline, psychedelic structures informed by a background in game and film sound design.

3) Elli Acula — performing b2b with ANNĒ. A co-founder of Spandau20, Elli Acula has carved her sound from Berlin’s late-night underground: groovy, high-velocity, and viscerally physical. ANNĒ brings something excavated from deeper in the tradition: her productions and sets are steeped in the emotional grammar of Detroit, the 90s, and the raw pumping energy of the second wave.

4) Human Safari (live) — a Glitch resident and central figure in Malta’s electronic scene, now firmly on the international circuit. His sound folds jazz improvisation directly into the mechanics of techno, earning him standout releases on R&S and his recent seven-track EP Culture Shock on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm.

5) Stef Mendesidis (live) — few artists commune with their machines the way Mendesidis does, or wield them with such unguarded conviction. You will find yourself grooving one moment, and transcending the next. One of the few artists who makes techno feel genuinely boundless.

MIAMI PRESSURE INCOMING 🛸

June 19th, The Nest trades oxygen for groove.

Techno Snobs and Innate Rhythms join forces for a night dedicated to drum-heavy, body-forward techno: tribal weight, hardgroove propulsion, and the kind of stripped, muscular rhythm that cuts straight through the room.

From Miami, headliners Åre:gone and DJ Prim bring a sound sharpened in sweat, percussion, and movement. Nothing decorative. Nothing diluted. Just rolling pressure, human swing, and the floor slowly tightening around every drum.

Mattei and Bullsense set the opening charge.

Åre:gone (@_aregone)
DJ Prim (@djprimbeats)
Mattei b2b Bullsense (@matteidj b2b @bullsense___)

June 19, 2026 — The Nest // St. Petersburg, FL

Tickets available now. Limited early birds via link in bio.

#technosnobs #stpetenightlife #stpetefl #techno

𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗭𝗜𝗞 𝟬𝟬𝟴

The enigmatic @01111111100000000000.zero reveals a world shaped by his cryptic mantra — Eventually we all return to zero. Each track evolves through subtle shifts in rhythm and atmosphere, culminating in an enigmatic yet cathartic conclusion. A pervasive darkness courses through this journey, punctuated by fleeting moments of light that heighten its intensity. The result is a powerful exploration of emotion and existence that lingers long after the final sound.

Mastering @mattiasfridell
Artwork @trbvisuals.art

Surrender to the Sound 👽

U.S.U.R.A. classic out of Brescia, 1992. Walter Cremonini production on Italian Style. The track is built around the keyboard line from Simple Minds’ “New Gold Dream,” pitched up and pushed into a four-on-the-floor. The “open your mind” vocal is Kuato from Total Recall: a mutant rebel speaking through another man’s stomach, lifted clean and dropped over piano house. Two pieces of cultural debris from outside the dancefloor, repurposed for a whole new meaning.

Catalogued as Italodance and house — but the genre label is beside the point. If we’re being technical, the arrangement sits closer to what would later get called proto-trance: long builds, breakdown into pure vocal and pad, kick reintroduced under a rising arpeggio… but again, beside the point.

It’s a track engineered for surrender; presence is the only thing asked in return. Three decades on, it still reads as a record of how the floor used to operate: bodies immersed by the rhythm, attention undivided, the music permitted to do its work.

The scene is set: smoke catching the strobe in single frames. A figure flickering in and out of visibility. No phone lights, no camera angles, no one performing for anyone but the speaker stack.

Track ID: U.S.U.R.A. - Open Your Mind

D.A.V.E. The Architect 🏛️

Henry Cullen entered the scene in 1995 as producer and mix engineer for the Liberator DJs, working inside the Stay Up Forever collective at the precise moment London acid techno was establishing itself as a serious international force. The records he cut during that period — across Stay Up Forever, Smitten, Cluster, and Routemaster — are still referenced as foundational documents of the movement.

Hydraulix launched in 1998 as a vehicle for a sound he was already pushing past acid’s boundaries; harder, more industrial, less concerned with accessibility. Apex and Mutate to Survive extended the catalogue into adjacent territory without diluting the identity of any imprint. Few operators in the underground have maintained that kind of curatorial discipline across three decades.

His set at HÖR Berlin has become required viewing for a reason. The architecture is deliberate, the pacing forensic, and the selection draws from a depth of catalogue knowledge that only comes from having lived inside the music since its early days.

Fast and Fumious 👽

The hands tell you everything. Three channels riding, fader work clean enough to seem rehearsed but feels like instinct. This time it’s at @section_hq in east London: purple wash, the room packed wall-to-wall with bodies genuinely present for the music.

A few years ago, @fumi.xoxo was an emerging name in Berlin, folding old-school hip-hop swing into hardgroove and making the language her own. She built the sound on quick cuts and multi-deck layering, the kind of mixing that doesn’t sit still long enough for the room to settle.

Now she runs with 240KMH, the Berlin collective whose name doubles as a tempo flag. The bookings have caught up: HÖR, Awakenings, festival circuits across the EU, and now east London’s fastest-rising room. The rise has been quiet; the repertoire and the conviction behind it are anything but.

A Legend Named Ryan Wyer 🤍

In 2016, Richard D. James — the Cornish-raised producer known to the world as Aphex Twin — handed creative control of his first official music video in 17 years to a 12-year-old autistic kid from County Dublin.
That kid was Ryan Wyer.

Wyer had spent years quietly uploading fan-made videos to his YouTube channel, cutting visuals to Aphex Twin tracks on his own time, for no audience in particular. One of them — a DIY video for “minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix]” off Syro — went viral enough to reach James directly. Both James and Chris Cunningham, the director behind “Windowlicker” and “Come to Daddy,” left comments on his channel. Warp Records took notice shortly after.

Ahead of the Cheetah EP, Warp sent Wyer all seven tracks and told him to pick one. He chose the eight-minute “CIRKLON3 [Колхозная mix].” He rounded up friends and family in Rush, Co. Dublin, put them in Aphex Twin masks and logo shirts, and filmed them dancing in the streets. The result became the first official Aphex Twin visual since 1999.

Ryan’s mother Marie noted that James and Wyer share the same personality architecture: private, unbothered, entirely absorbed in sound. Two people who found their way to music young and never really left. After the video dropped, the two went record shopping together in Dublin.

Wyer has autism and is visually impaired. He was being bullied at school for his taste in music while simultaneously earning the respect of one of the most consequential electronic musicians alive. James recognised what the people around Wyer apparently couldn’t: that the kid already had it. Music wasn’t something Ryan was learning; it was something he already knew.

In September 2024, Wyer ran an AMA on Reddit, discussing the collaboration with James in depth and giving an interview to District Magazine. He cites David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick as directorial influences.

Nearly a decade later, both are still at it: James making music, Wyer making films, and the two still in each other’s orbit.

Near the end of a two-hour siege. The crowd on a string, still hungry. Three decks, a TR-909, total command, pure commitment.

Spontaneous Disorder 👽

Charles Accarisi aka Chlär grew up in Switzerland in a household of musicians, teaching himself sound synthesis at 13 on free software with no presets. Physics was the other serious pursuit, and his father steered him toward sound engineering in Berlin instead. His first illegal rave at 16 set everything in motion.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ His interest in how systems behave never dissipated, and Chlär remains a genuine physics enthusiast to this day.

Chlär built his craft from every angle of the industry; artist, mastering engineer, label founder, A&R. His sets run three or four decks simultaneously, weaving loops of his own productions into live improvisations that shift depending on the room. Raw and precise in equal measure, his techno carries the weight of someone who understands structure well enough to facilitate the entropy.

Time Warp doesn’t just operate anywhere. Since 1994, the German institution has built its reputation as one of the most respected techno brands on the planet — one we personally know to never compromise on production. Partnering with electro-giant Insomniac, its Miami debut at Factory Town was a statement the city needed. Miami has long been written off by serious ravers as a city of excess and pageantry. Time Warp answered that sentiment directly, and Factory Town held the energy from open to close.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Blueprint 👽

Forty-six years ago, four men in Düsseldorf were quietly building something no one had a name for yet.

This is Kraftwerk performing The Robots in 1980, a year before Computer World would close the most influential run in electronic music history. From Autobahn (1974) through Trans-Europe Express (1977) to The Man-Machine (1978), they had already produced a sound that spread further than anyone anticipated. Juan Atkins called them his gods. Afrika Bambaataa built “Planet Rock” on the bones of Trans-Europe Express. DMC of Run-DMC told NME that kids in the Bronx heard something in the music and followed it; a group from Germany, somehow, had connected. Martin Gore said they were the pioneers for everyone in his generation making electronic music.

They did all of it from a small room near Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, where they had removed the bell from the wall phone so no one could interrupt them. Nearly fifty years later, the conversation still starts here.

Take the Red Pill 👽

The Matrix is a groundbreaking science fiction film that blends philosophy, action, and cyberpunk aesthetics into a story about reality and control. Directed by The Wachowskis, it follows Neo, a hacker who discovers that the world he lives in is actually a simulated reality created by machines to subdue humanity. As he is guided by Morpheus and joins a group of rebels, Neo begins to question the nature of truth, free will, and identity. The film became iconic for its innovative visual effects, especially the “bullet time” sequences, and its deeper themes inspired by philosophy, religion, and computer science, making it one of the most influential films of its time.

The aesthetic alone felt pulled from a warehouse at 4am: the black, the bass, the sense that something is being revealed to you that most people will never see. No surprise the culture adopted it immediately.

Acid Assault 👽

October 2022, H7 Warehouse, Amsterdam. Cynthia Spiering with a full acid set inside the Intercell x 999999999 Invites daytime showcase. Ninety minutes of rolling acid pressure in a space Intercell has always dialled right. Gym, pregame, late-night rewatch, or a workday that needs a push — the set holds up in any context.

Spiering was already one of the more promising talents coming out of the Dutch scene, and this set made the case plainly: acid techno woven through with traces of acid trance, sequenced with a maturity that felt well beyond her years. She took the assignment and executed it clean.
