TECHNO

Techno is the pulse of electronic music's underground heart, defined by driving four-on-the-floor kick drums, hypnotic repetition, and industrial-tinged sound design. From the warehouses of Detroit and Berlin's Berghain to the main stages of Tomorrowland and Awakenings, techno has evolved into a global phenomenon with multiple sub-genres including melodic techno, hard techno, acid techno, and industrial techno. The DJ Mag Top 100 features techno artists like Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Carl Cox, and Anyma who command both intimate club residencies and massive festival crowds. Whether you're seeking the rolling basslines of a peak-time warehouse set or the ethereal soundscapes of a melodic techno open-air show, the techno calendar is packed with events year-round across Ibiza, Berlin, Amsterdam, and beyond.
