For electronic-music fans following techno, this listing brings together the available artist, venue and event details in one place. Doors, entry requirements and any changes should be confirmed against the organizer's event-specific announcement before traveling.
Artist spotlight: Pablo Bozzi is a French DJ and producer whose records resist a clean division between industrial dance music and euphoric house. Before his solo productions became widely associated with bright Italo melodies and club-ready low end, he worked in harder territory: EBM, industrial and synth-driven techno. These experiences are not separate chapters in his sound. The directness of EBM rhythms still gives many of his warmer productions their backbone.
His catalog also documents work under the Lapse of Reason identity and with Imperial Black Unit, alongside his later projects. The musical route matters because it complicates an easy story about an artist simply “switching genres.” Bozzi brought a willingness to explore tension, texture and machine-made rhythms into records that often feel playful, nostalgic and emotionally open.
In Berlin, Bozzi connected with Hayden Payne, better known as Phase Fatale. Their Soft Crash collaboration brought a shared love of Italo, synthwave and early techno into dialogue with the darker industrial sounds for which both had become known. In an interview with Dazed, the duo described seeking an emotional counterweight to the cold mechanical imagery of their influences.
Their first Soft Crash album, Your Last Everything, was followed by the NRG EP on BITE in February 2024. The project included Free Yourself with Ukrainian musician Ready in LED and a reinterpretation involving Marie Davidson. DJ Mag described how the release brought Italo, synth-pop, acid-house and techno elements into a single club vocabulary. It is the kind of collaboration that changes the options available to both artists.
As Pablo Bozzi, the producer has continued issuing tracks and edits that make vintage dance-music reference points feel useful in modern sets. His public Bandcamp catalog includes releases such as Last Moscow Mule, Walk On Wire, Fantasy, Neon Dreams, Higher with Lexi L’Acqua, and Wired in July 2026. They range through house, synth-driven club music, trance touches and rhythmic ideas associated with Italo.
He also launched Second Sight, a label associated with this broader musical approach. Rather than claim a single formula across every record, the project provides a space for carefully chosen music to connect mood, melody and the mechanics of dancing. It demonstrates how a solo name can evolve while collaborations such as Soft Crash maintain their own distinct purpose.
For younger DJs, Bozzi’s catalog is especially useful because it points to a history often ignored by contemporary dance playlists. EBM, synth-pop, new beat, Italo disco and house did not grow in sealed compartments. Their drum machines, bass patterns and melodies borrowed from one another. Hearing those connections makes a set more adventurous without turning it into a history lesson.
The lasting achievement is not a single large festival drop. It is a style that can carry darker tension into upbeat rooms and make nostalgic material sound current. The trajectory from underground collaborations to his own label and 2026 releases gives listeners several entrances into a continuing story, not a finished chapter.
