Hard Frequency / Negitiv
Negitiv is not the typical hard techno DJ. She’s a force of nature. Over time, she transitioned from psy-trance and darker electronic styles before landing on the raw and high-bpm energy of hard techno, Schranz, and industrial.

Bande à Part is an ecosystem of raw sound, of strings stretched to the point of breaking, vocals bent and twisted into cries carved from an aching body.

The song will premiere on the occasion of a the single release show at The Old Blue Last on October 2nd.

Berlin Atonal closed its latest edition just weeks ago, leaving behind more than a festival of electronic music and experimental art. Returning from the city, clarity emerged: this year was a meditation on Berlin itself—its history, its architecture, its ghosts. More than performances or installations, Atonal revealed how a space becomes alive, how risk defines art, and how presence transforms encounter.

As Ibiza spins into spectacle, filters, and pre-choreographed chaos, Amnesia remains defiantly raw, primal and soulfully intact. In a season where other clubs chase content, Amnesia offers something infinitely rarer: communion. The freedom to move, feel, disappear. And at the heart of this rebellion beats Pyramid, Amnesia’s flagship underground Sunday, a weekly ritual for those who know. It doesn’t shout for attention. It calls to your instincts.

In a time where identity is often packaged, flattened, and made palatable for algorithmic feeds, François X resists easy definition. Born between Corsica and Benin, shaped by sounds that stretch from the vinyl stacks of Fania Records to the raw pulse of Parisian club nights, his music is neither fusion nor collage. It’s something more elemental, a process of remembering, returning, resisting.

Rock ’n’ roll is the “ancient technology” they wield to jolt the mind and ignite disruption. Escape-ism refuses the empty ritual of nostalgic masturbation, that self-indulgent stroking of the past to numb the present. Instead, through stripped-down sounds and sharp lyrics, it forces a radical reconfiguration of our collective life: a sonic ideology meant to wake you up from the disguised nightmare we’re in.
