Time Warp 2024: São Paulo

The iconic Time Warp festival returned to South America this past weekend, taking over São Paulo's Vale do Anhangabaú for two nights of pulsating techno. Celebrating its 30th anniversary year, Time Warp 2024 brought the spirit of the genre's birthplace – Germany – to Brazil, with a lineup boasting some of the most revered DJs in the world.

Friday Night Frenzy

The festivities kicked off on Friday, May 3rd, with a diverse range of talent taking the stage. Local hero, ANNA, delivered a high-energy set, while the legendary Rødhåd kept the crowd moving with his signature driving techno. The highlight of the night was arguably the back-to-back set featuring Ben Klock and the rising star, Adiel. Their contrasting styles fused seamlessly, creating a truly unique and captivating soundscape.

Saturday's Stellar Selection

Techno A Global Electronic Music Powerhouse

The techno scene boasts a spectrum of clubs. Mainstream giants like Berlin's Berghain offer world-renowned DJs, elaborate sound systems, and intense dance floors. Conversely, underground clubs prioritize a more intimate experience, often showcasing local talent and experimental sounds.

Expect a focus on the music itself. Lighting is often dark, with strobe effects adding to the energy. Attendees come for the pure experience of the music, letting loose and getting lost in the rhythm. Some techno clubs, particularly the more famous ones, are known for their strict door policies. Dress code may not be overtly enforced, but a well-considered, comfortable outfit that reflects your appreciation for the music is a plus.

Respect for fellow dancers and the DJ is key. Be mindful of your personal space and avoid overly chatty behavior on the dance floor.

About

With his hypnotic, heavily grooving techno sets, the records on Ostgut Ton and his label Klockworks, founded in 2006, Klock has earned an excellent international reputation in recent years.

Supported by his stringent and gripping tracks, remixes for artists as diverse as Kerri Chandler, Martyn and Depeche Mode, the much praised debut album “One” for Ostgut Ton and his Berghain mix CD, Ben Klock stands for the revival of an essential techno definition.

His music doesn't contain paralyzing nostalgia, but instead impresses with its consistency, dynamism and, again and again, with a sensitivity that you would otherwise expect from house music. Klock pursues the effortless fusion of progress and tradition and is never at a loss for melodies or hooklines.

His great art is to harmoniously bring this approach of industrial rigor, organic musicality and captivating physicality into harmony.

Explore The Underground Techno Scene

Lose yourself in the pulsating rhythm. Feel the driving beats course through you, a primal energy that ignites your soul. Explore the electrifying world of techno music and events, where the dance floor becomes a canvas and the music paints a vibrant world of sound.

Forget flashy facades. Underground techno thrives in unconventional spaces - converted warehouses, abandoned factories, even secret basements. Finding these hidden gems can be an adventure itself. Look for local flyers tucked away in record stores or follow cryptic social media posts with techno-inspired graphics and minimal information.

The underground scene isn't about exclusivity, but about a shared passion. Strike up conversations with fellow attendees. Promoters are often passionate DJs themself, and they'll be happy to point you towards other hidden gems. Respect the unwritten rules - arrive on time, silence your phone, and most importantly, lose yourself in the music.
