This is Year 6.

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) 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 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 the mind rather than the body.

Akua
(New York)

Blistering Techno from days past

For years, Akua has been delivering her own brand of Techno inspired by a time when Techno was all about in-your-face immediacy. For those with an insatiable inner energy that most DJs simply can’t satisfy, you may have just met your match.

Altinbas
(Station Observer, Belgium)
Heady Interstellar Techno from Belgium

Last time he played for us, we squeezed him in the day before our line up announcement. He played one of the best sets of the weekend on the Meta stage. He’s back for a main stage debut. 

ANALOG SOUL
(New York)

House music!!

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.

ANTHONY CHILD + C. LAVENDER
(Old Technology, UK/NY)

Transcendental Drone Transmissions

To close out the weekend at Over Yonder, C. Lavender is joined by Anthony Child aka Surgeon for an excursion deep into drone territory 

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.

Claudio PRC
(012.Twelve, Italy)

Deep Techno from an Italian Maestro

When it comes to deeper shades of Techno, DJs come and go. Claudio has dedicated his life to it. This is an essential set to catch for any fan of deeper music.

CRAIG GONZALEZ
(unknown species, detroit)
Deep Techno from an Italian Maestro
 
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.
DELANO SMITH
(Mixmode, Detroit)
Dub House & Techno from Detroit’s finest
 

Delano Smith is one of the best DJ-producers from Detroit. His productions are incredible and his track selection is impeccable, but TGB taking so long to book him? Absolutely criminal.

DEREK PLASLAIKO
(Bunker, Detroit)
Deep Techno from an Italian Maestro
 
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.
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. If you have information on his whereabouts, please inform The Psychic Council.
 
DVS1
(Hush)
Techno meets hyper focused sound-design
 
He started as our fellow local DJ and now he’s a global legend. He’s forged a name for himself by hammering out a blend of moody atmospherics and an onslaught of 808 kicks and claps. You know exactly how it’s going down. Get pumped!
Joshua calleja
(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.

Kangding Ray Live
(Bounce House, PHL)

Dimension-bending live Techno

Mr. Ray joins us once again. This time he’ll be performing a live set hot on the tails of scoring the Oscar-nominated film, Sirāt. Cleanse yourself in pure psychedelia.

Matrixxman
(The Grid, Berlin)

 

Relentless nihilistic techno

Imagine living in a cyberpunk metropolis where the nights are rainy and the electric glow of lights fill the sky. Your latest cybernetic augmentations allow you to stay up for 15 straight days, and you just got paid. What do you do? You call Matrixxman.

Max Watts
(Limited Network, Detroit)

 

DETROIT TECHNO FROM THE NEXT GENERATION
 
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.
Marijuana Deathsquads
(Totally Gross, Minneapolis)
Minneapolis’ favorite boy band is back
Created by Ryan Olson and Issac Gayle, Squads is composed of 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.
Philippa Pacho
(Phorum, Berlin)
Pure minimalistic techno

Philippa is one of Europe’s fastest rising Techno talents. If you like fast, stripped down, rolling Techno and you like to party, then look no further. Prepare for a beatdown!

PLO Man
(Monday Off, Berlin)
House & Techno fusion from the deepest of crates

PLO Man has gained a reputation for being enigmatic and mysterious, while letting his eclectic mixes do the talking. He also runs Acting Press, a highly-sought after vinyl-only record label with a heavy nod to the most euphoric and vibey moments of 1990s electronic music.

 

Psyk
(Non Series, Spain)
Mental techno from the non-series head honcho
 
Psyk got his start on Zahn’s Enemy Records around 17 years ago (with a Centrific remix no less!). Since then, he has carefully curated Non Series, one of the go-to labels for heady, mental Techno. It’s long overdue, but he’s finally here!
Ron Like Hell
(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.

surgeon
(dynamic tension, uk)

 

Genre-bending Techno from the greatest to ever do it

One of our all-time favorite producers is back behind our decks for the first time in 20 years.

Tauceti
(NON SERIES, FRANCE)

RIPPIN’ & DRIPPIN’ TECHNO GROOVES
 
Tauceti’s style is both psychedelic and artistic in the truest sense. Her tracks expand and contract, leading to living and breathing pieces of music that work your mind as hard as your body.
Wata Igarashi
(Dekmantel, japan)

 

kaleidoscopic TECHNO fROM THE EAST
 
Since we last spoke, Wata released an epic new album on Dekmantel Records. Make sure you check it out. This time around, Wata is back on closing duty, and you don’t miss a Wata closing.
Zvrra
(QEONE, Chicago)
Dark hypnotic techno FROM CHICAGO
 
In the past handful of years, Zvrra has quietly been making some of the most singular and uncompromising Techno in the States. We are happy to finally welcome to Zvrra into the fold.
