Rotterdam Rave ’10 Year Anniversary’ Weekender 2022

AIROD

Hailing from Paris, Dario Brkic aka AIROD is perhaps one of the finest incarnations of what the French techno scene can bring to the table when it comes to turning any cold-walled warehouse into a proper coal-fired furnace. A shared bill with Belgium techno ace Amelie Lens at REX Club would soon seal Dario’s fate, prompting Lens to get him on board on her highly reputed Exhale parties across the Globe, of which he’s since become a mainstay.

Alignment

One thing is a certainty, Italian wonder boy Alignment likes to turn heads. Those of his friends and family when he suddenly decided to trade in his hometown of Bologna, for the industrial capital of techno Berlin. With a strong focus to work on his productions and DJ career, Francesco Pier has engaged himself in the heart of the vibrant techno scene. His tracks have caught the attention of techno royalty such as Richie Hawtin, Charlotte de Witte, Ben Klock, Chris Liebing, Laurent Garnier, Amelie Lens, Joseph Cappriati and many more...

Amelie Lens

EXHALE In a few years Amelie Lens grew into one of the biggest techno artists. Besides producing and playing all over the world she also organizes EXHALE events, where she invites todays hottest acts.

Charlie Sparks

His first Rotterdam Rave appearance in March 2022 was one for the books. Unleashing enormous amounts of energy in the crowd by blending sounds from all the corners of the techno galaxy Charlie is one to definitely keep an eye on.

DIØN

He's the Dutch rising star in the (hard) techno scene. With releases on Autektone Dark, KTK Records and Insolent Rave Records, DIØN is now lining up his own Rough Material Records label to become a platform that reflects his own vision on music.

DYEN

DYEN is Dutch techno producer/dj. He started with producing techno back in 2016. He had several releases on Otomo Records and a remix on Raven sigh. After these releases he created his own sound inspired by 90's and uptempo techno.

Farrago

Farrago, literally meaning 'a perplexing mixture', is the alignment and legacy of his earlier work merged with new ideas and recent development. Arpeggiated melodies reverberating endlessly to the point where they are deemed tangible driven by the resonating sound of a classic 4/4 kickdrum. It's the perfect marriage between body and soul.

Klangkuenstler

The Berlin-based DJ and producer Klangkuenstler has certainly created an inimitable style within the techno scene. After his crazy b2b with Nico Moreno at Rotterdam Rave Festival in August 2022 he will be back in December to shake the grounds of the Maassilo.

LENA

The Rotterdam based LENA is here to bring you a sound like no other. Lena is all about the driving dark and melodic rave-sound supported by vocals. Bringing you the perfect balans between well-know and loved bangers and the very best unknown tracks.

Lokier

Originally from Mexico, DJ and producer Lokier is running paths into the ways of industrial and rave Techno, with a side of Trance and a twist of EBM and 80s wave. She owns her label LightStrike for her productions, and was recently featured on Amelie Lens’ own label, Lenske, with the EP ‘Back To Life’ which came out in 2021. Her choices in music are eclectic and adventurous, but there's an undeniable threading line that goes from Detroit electro and techno, to Belgium new beat, fat acid lines and fast breakbeats, delivering a wide array of selections that retain a sense of groove.

Muse About

Muse About (aka Marwan Sabb) is the synthesis of twelve years of artistic research and digging. Fluctuating between house and techno, he brings to his set a special atmosphere inspired by his origins and atypical background. His quest for his own sound led big names to play his music, such as Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Jamie Jones, Enzo Siragusa, The Martinez Brothers, Chris Liebing and Dubfire who even signed him 5 times on his label Sci+tec since 2016. Inquisitive and eclectic, he forged his “hybrid” signature, bringing unheard tracks in the right place and at the right time, always refusing to be enclosed in the musical trend of the moment. Being against the current is more than a trademark, it is his artist ideology, open your mind and let him guide you in his universe.

Paula Temple

Reveller Records | 50Weapons | R & S Records For over 15 years Paula Temple has been pursuing her own unique musical path. As a self-confessed noisician she specialises in a noisy, phantasmagoric techno sound, where the dial is rarely turned below 200% and every moment of silence seems deafening. Such refreshing high voltage music has placed Paula at the forefront of today's techno scene.

ROD

ROD, the alter-ego of Rotterdam based Benny Rodrigues, currently one of the most popular and inspiring electronic music artists of the Netherlands. Known for his versatility, Benny has chosen this additional artist name to clearly define the more Techno oriented side of his musical identity. Where Benny seeks breadth, ROD goes into the depths. Expect techno with a versatile touch; Detroit to Chicago, from acid to dub, from industrial to offbeat. His knowledge of music, undying love for techno and sharp taste got him at the most populair techno hotspots around the world, the iconic Berghain (Berlin) included.

Shlømo

The Taapion head honcho from France knows how to work the room with techno bangers. Solo, as Viper Diva or in a b2b with another artist, Shlømo adapts without loosing his own sound in the mayhem.

SNTS

SNTS|Edit Select|Horizontal Ground|Sacred Court The anonymous artist SNTS has been a major player in the dark, gritty underworld of industrial techno. He is well known in the world for diffusing his warehouse sound, both as performer as well as the head of two imprints; SNTS Records and Sacred Court Labels.

Stranger

Tipped as being one of Rotterdam’s best kept secrets in techno, DJ/producer ‘stranger’ moves in mysterious ways and has quickly proven to be one to watch. His first musical appearance in 2014 was quickly picked up by established names as Dave Clarke, Sven Väth and Marcel Dettmann, giving to his career as well as to his own Self Reflektion label a major kick-start.

Trym

A techno artist who has proven himself to deserve his place on the scene and behind the decks at events, Trym has never stopped working hard on his projects. Blurring the boundaries between techno and hardtrance combined with his familiar touch of acid, Trym is a leading face of France's new-gen techno artists.
