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.
