Welcome to Year 5.

We continue our efforts to curate line ups of the very best in psychedelic house and techno music. This year’s MAIN STAGE line up features contemporary techno heroes, genre-defining legends, and counterculture icons.

The Meta ta Physika stage (formerly Communion) features exciting new American producers such as Müzmin, Sanna Mun, and Sard. Meta ta Physika also acts as a space to unite DJs, producers, and promoters from around North America. Each year, we pick a few people from buzzing local scenes to help promote their city.

Over Yonder (formerly Kajunga World) operates as the quasi “chill out” space for lighter variants of music. During the day, expect summery, housey, breaky tunes. As the sun goes down, any genre goes as long as it’s experimental leaning with a focus on heady music rather than body music.

Annika Wolfe

(AKELA Recordings, Los Angeles)

Eclectic Party Grooves from an LA Power House

We met Annika at our favorite place to meet an artist: a sweaty dance floor. Since then, they have built a reputation as one of LA’s top interdimensional ambassadors. They kick off the main stage on Saturday afternoon. 

Antenes

(The Bunker, NYC)

Techno from deep within the void

 
During the first journey to TGB, she aided in forging The Spiral Path: a 3-day pilgrimage that thousands of TGB followers have traversed ever since. Complete this path and you will be granted a vision.
Anthony Linell

(Northern Electronics, Stockholm)

Tripped out vibes from the heart of Sweden

 
We are excited to welcome the Northern Electronics label for a rare U.S. appearance. His Techno sets are composed mostly of hard-to-find records that echo hints of the 90s nostalgia with a modern edge.
Border One

(Token, Belgium)

Minimalistic sci-fi tinged Techno

 
We were convinced his music was from a distant planet, but we called him and it turns out he just lives in Belgium. With the aid of The Psychic Council, he has been subliminally activated at our request, and is expected to arrive on North American soil sometime soon.
Centrific

(Intellephunk, Minneapolis)

Heightened-state Techno for the evening hours

 
The Psychic Council tasked the TGB co-founder with kicking the party into overdrive on Saturday night just after dusk. It’s understandable if you start melting earlier than scheduled.
 
Dustin Zahn

(Enemy, Berlin/Minneapolis)

Pulsating Techno tales from the abyss

 
Recently, one of TGB’s co-founders was last seen studying morally ambiguous techniques at the European Institute of Mind Control in Den Hague. Reports indicated Zahn went rogue and returned to America to do something about them egg prices.
 
Erik Luebs (Live)

(The Bunker, Japan)

Techno meets hyper focused sound-design

 
Erik Luebs has been making a name for himself with releases on some of our favorite labels like The Bunker NY and Nous’klaer. His unique sound palette is a perfect fit for TGB…don’t miss it!
Eris Drew

(T4T LUV NRG)

High Priestess of the Mother Beat

We have been dreaming of the day Eris Drew would bring her euphoric LUV NRG to the TGB dance floor since the very beginning. Not only has she been accredited by the Psychic Council, but she has been a card carrying member of the Psionic Coalition for over 30 years. Eris has received the coalition’s highest accolades, as well as the prestigious crystal portal award.

Furtive

(Bounce House, PHL)

For their 3rd TGB appearance, Furtive moves up to the main stage. Employing advanced scanning techniques only taught at the prestigious Cronenberg Academy, Furtive will be leading off the headliners for the weekend on Friday evening.

Justin Aulis Long

(Flowers of Romance, Chicago)

Jack, Mutant Beat, and more

We’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to bring in our guy. Vinyl Alchemist, Sonic Sorcerer, and Guardian of the Jack. On Saturday morning, Justin will roll onto the farm right around sunrise, and step up to the TGB altar to deliver a psionic ritual of unmatched intensity.

Livwutang

(Nowadays, NYC)

Techno, House, and everything in between

 
Liv is the real deal and a total badass. She’s always digging, and her collection rivals most DJs who’ve been doing this for decades. If you’re a fan of how vibey our parties get at the end of the night, then you know exactly what to expect.
Lonefront (Live)

(Uncoiled, Minneapolis)

Our favorite contemporary live Techno act

 
Lonefront has been a regular fixture in TGB, Intellephunk, and Enemy related matters. His live sets keep getting better. Do not miss it.
Marijuana Deathsquads

(Totally Gross, Minneapolis)

Minneapolis’ favorite boy band is back

 
2024’s most asked question was “What…no Squads?” MDS is some of Minneapolis’ best musicians making as much noise as possible. When they go on, it signifies TGB has hit the point of no return.
Mary Yuzovskaya

(Monday Off, Berlin)

Techno from the fourth dimension

 
Her studies of fourth dimensional thought have allowed her to harness the power of, and become one with the void. Connect with the unknown in ways you never thought possible.
Overland

(Garmo, Vancouver)

Vancouver’s acid commander

 
In our initial clinical trials of group telekinesis, this subject demonstrated the extraordinary ability to disrupt people’s behavioral patterns and bend them to her will. Despite no guarantee of safety, the Psychic Council has decided to permit a trial on new test subjects.
Planetary Assault Systems (Live)

(Mote Evolver, London)

Mind-melting live Techno from one of the greatest of all time

His music is formed by principals based on psychic abilities banned in most western countries. In 2022, he couldn’t make it because he was offplanet battling the Tarzicians (aka Reptilians)…but this time it’s happening and he’s not fucking around.

Quelza

(Hayes, France)

Techno born in the void, corrupted by Man

His manipulation of soundwaves has altered reality, causing an implosion of time and space and time and space and time. The prophets have spoken: his existence will lead to the portal’s closure. All devotees will fail the perception check.

Rene Wise

(Moving Pressure, Portugal)

Infectious Techno grooves from a master

 
Your strength is irrelevant. Rene Wise has mastered the technique of Ritual Hold. Any attempts to leave the dance floor will be overruled by an onslaught of undeniable grooves.
Rrose

(EAUX, The Void)

Ethereal Ambient to end the weekend

 
In 1909, this psychic outsider studied under The Envisioned himself at the prestigious E.I.M.C., European Institute of Mind Control in Den Hague. Overseer Rrose will be presenting a pathway to the unknown…will you accept?
Sandwell District

(Sandwell District, Berlin/London)

The Sound of Rebirth

 
As fate would have it…Function, Regis, and the late Silent Servant have been in our orbit for millenia. Bound by the cosmos, each artist has left their own personal mark on TGB. This time, Function and Regis will guide you through an extended session of group telekinesis.
Takaaki Itoh

(WOLS, Japan)

Subconscious-shattering Techno from the far east

Overseer Itoh has spent decades refining hypnosis techniques through the utilization of meta-consciousness. Every successful attempt allows his subjects to separate mind from body, and consciousness from reality. Still, no master can control the gravity of the following Monday morning.

Wata Igarashi x Rrose (Hybrid)

(WIP/EAUX, The Void)

Ritualistic reality-folding Techno

The Psychic Council has tasked these two with their first ever Live/DJ set, with the sole intention of creating dimensional rifts to replace the recently corrupted Gates of Time. Upon successful completion, human perception will be restored to 2015, before the age of algorithms.
