There are places that only make sense after sunset. VOODOO begins where the familiar dissolves: a forest lit by fire, sound echoing between the trees, strangers moving as if they've been following the same ritual for years. Nothing asks for your attention; everything pulls you further in. This autumn, the ritual returns.

Tempio del Futuro Perduto has redistributed 700 tonnes of goods, supported refugees, and held mental health services for a generation the city forgot. Now it is proposing something more permanent: a club built to last 100 years. This May, Milan becomes the meeting point for independent cultural spaces from Berlin, Paris, Shanghai, Tbilisi, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Beijing — all converging around one question: what does a dancefloor look like in 2125, and who gets to decide?

Since 1989, Luke Slater has been one of techno's most restless architects, building entire worlds under aliases like Planetary Assault Systems, L.B. Dub Corp, and The 7th Plain, each one a different frequency of the same obsession. We sat with him before Neopop Festival to go deep: the aliases, the autobiography in sound, a Burial collaboration and what it means to raise a kid inside the music.

Broken glass. Strobe scars. Bass shaking the bones of an abandoned forest. FJAAK came up on raw instinct—hacked gear, illegal raves, no sleep, no plan B. Before the bookings, before the Boiler Rooms, it was just a basement in Spandau and the thrill of noise with nowhere to go but louder. Now they’re closing Berghain for 11 hours, running a label that’s more like a syndicate, and still building everything by hand. This isn’t a nostalgia act. It’s muscle memory. It’s resistance through rhythm. Spandau20, the Berlin-based collective label rooted in underground rave culture, celebrates its 10th VA with 10 tracks from its co-founders—each one a reflection of the label’s raw, percussive, hardware-driven ethos. To mark the occasion, we sat down with FJAAK for a a deep dive.
