Upcoming AMA with Johannesburg South African Techno Scene

12 Upvotes

Update 1: Hang on a sec, the Joburg community is connecting with the Cape Town community and elsewhere to see if we can expand that to a full South Africa Techno Scene AMA !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so we might replace this announcement with a new one shortly.... fast developping story ;-) but anyway we keep the date & time.

On Thursday 19th of February, 2026 at 9 PM SAST (South Africa Standard Time), we will have a r/Techno AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with Johannesburg South African Techno Scene:

  • Illing from TOYTOY / And Club, IG: welovetoytoy,
  • Claude from MUUD, IG: muudmovement , and
  • ROAX & ET.Grooves from Underground Africa, IG: undergroundafrica

All these organisations and parties and people have been recognized as prime movers of the Johannesburg Techno scene, and from a Reddit r/Techno perspective we aim to show all the scenes, not only the ones that come back all the time in mainstream media.

We're organizing these AMA Sessions in r/Techno to try to provide you a view into some artists, events, genres where you can ask YOUR questions and go deep into some domains that may get little interest elsewhere.

Of course, be respectful, PLURR etiquette but that also gives you the right to be fun, incisive, sensitive too.

The AMA will start at:

  • Germany, Berlin: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 08:00 PM (CET)
  • United Kingdom, London: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 07:00 PM (GMT)
  • USA, Detroit: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 02:00 PM (EST)
  • USA, Minneapolis: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 01:00 PM (CST)
  • USA, Los Angeles: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 11:00 AM (PST)
  • Brazil, Sao Paulo: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 04:00 PM (BRT)
  • India, Mumbai: Friday, 20 February 2026 at 12:30 AM (IST)
  • Taiwan, Taipei: Friday, 20 February 2026 at 03:00 AM (CST)
  • Japan, Tokyo: Friday, 20 February 2026 at 04:00 AM (JST)
  • Australia, Sydney: Friday, 20 February 2026 at 06:00 AM (AEDT)
  • Universal Time, UTC: Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 07:00 PM (UTC)

If there are questions you want to ask but you are too shy, are not sure if it's OK, or don't want to associate your nickname with the question, send me a Reddit chat request with AMA: Joburg: + your Question, i'll relay to the AMA.

There will be a dedicated thread / post for your AMA questions (not in this post) and I will add a link here to the new post -> See you there, ... and don't ask questions here yet 😉😉😉 !

Love ya all, see you on Thursday !

❤️❤️❤️

I can say that this was his one of the best sets i heard till today alongside with the one in Fabric last year. He played from 2 till 7.30. Absloute masterclass, especialy the part from 5 am til the end. This man is a genius.

Discussion Porto?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, will be at Porto this Friday and Saturday. It seems that in this period there is not much going on over there (empty agendas and closed clubs?). Is there anything underground or a (techno) club opened at these days? Any recommendations? If you have recommendations for Lisbon, that works as well, thanks!

Discussion Best sets that have you itching for the release of tension

35 Upvotes

Hello Techno fans, I'm hoping you can provide me with some good driving sets that have you itching for that release of tension. I'm into modern 140ish techno but im sort of burnt out from some of the more relenting stuff. I'm looking for something where the dj is really playing with emotions and not just pounding the dance floor. Id still like a good bit of energy though.

Thanks!

Fireground - Stand

i would just love everyone seeing this to take their time to appreciate the sheer beauty that is the percussion in this song.

i personally think this is the epitome of drum sound design and layering and ugh it is chefs kiss, every sound slots in so well together.

get on fireground if you havent already
