Since he first gazed at the stars from Detroit in the 1980s, his music has looked beyond the terrestrial plane, inspired by space travel and science fiction.

Sónar by Night

<p class="p1">In an era of huge screens and elaborate visual projections, Detroit techno pioneer <strong>Richie Hawtin</strong> has decided to look backwards to move forwards. His latest live show <strong>DEX EFX X0X </strong>goes back to the genre’s roots, a celebration of the dancefloor as a dark, mysterious place where you can lose yourself in the music. Using a combination of specially-configured lighting and immersive sound design, the Canadian innovator has created an experience that’s ‘more club than concert’. One of the highlights of Sónar 2024 in Barcelona, we can’t wait to bring this very special show to Lisbon.</p>

The techno pioneer’s new back-to-basics live set uses modern lighting and sound design to recreate the feel of an underground club

Inspired by the negative space of 90s dub techno - he worked at Hard Wax, the legendary record store run by Mark Ernestus of Basic Channel and Rhythm and Sound - and the cold romance of 80s synth pop and goth rock, his own productions are clearly best experienced on a darkened dancefloor, but can also sound oddly soulful when heard in the right context.

Having come up through the Amsterdam queer scene, she’s a firm believer in the dancefloor as a place for community and connection, and of course, celebration. Expect a set that embraces all three when she takes to the stage at Sónar Lisboa 2025.&nbsp;</span></span></p>

Expect puro fuego from the Madrid-born rave superstar, whose vinyl-only sets are legendary for their intensity and technicality

<p class="p1">From the queer underground of Paris to Berlin warehouses and Balearic sunsets,&nbsp;<strong>Jennifer Cardini</strong> has played almost everywhere. With a career that spans three decades, they've quietly attained the status of the pioneers they once looked up to. And they've done it their way, staying true to their belief in the liberatory power of club culture and their love of music. Although best known for music that sits somewhere between seductive house, dark italo and coldwave - check their labels&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://correspondant.bandcamp.com/"><span class="s1">Correspondant</span></a> and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://dischiautunno.bandcamp.com/"><span class="s1">Dischi Autunno</span></a> - they'll also dip into the sleek techno and sexy EBM, or even hands-in-the-air rave euphoria, depending on the occasion. Expect a celebration of dance music from one of the best around at Sónar Lisboa 2025.&nbsp;</p>

After blowing the Sónar by Day audience away in Barcelona in 2024, they’re bringing this very special show to Lisbon. Get ready to sweat.&nbsp;</span></span></p>

 Hard, fast, and furious: the sound, aesthetics and choreography of gabber come to life on stage
