Nina Kraviz

Love Family Park, Germany’s oldest open-air techno festival, has rolled out the names set to command its three stages on 28th July. Nina Kraviz, Amelie Lens, Loco Dice and Richie Hawtin are just a few of the techno figureheads set to spin during the 12-hour party.

The line-up is completed by Chris Liebing, Pan-Pot, Dixon, Maceo Plex, Ricardo Villalobos, Adriatique, Seth Troxler, Sven Väth, Solomun, andhim, Boris Brejcha, Butch, Dominik Eulberg (live), Fritz Kalkbrenner (live), Karotte, Lexy and K-Paul (live), Moonbootica and Oliver Koletzki.    

Movement Detroit has foregone the multiple waves of artist announcements for one mass drop. Diplo, Nina Kraviz, Helena Hauff, Claude VonStroke and Ellen Allien are among those supplying the grooves at Detroit’s Hart Plaza over the extended Memorial Day weekend.  

Organized by Paxahau, which is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2018, the festival will once again host an array of global electronic music talents across five stages. The Paxahau team have hinted at “new designs and elements” for the celebratory year.

Sónar Festival turns 25 with its 2018 event. To celebrate, the team has already begun sending high-powered transmissions from Norway with the hopes of contacting alien life forms on GJ273b, a potentially inhabitable planet 12.4 light years from Earth.

Melt! Festival revealed the first wave of talents that will be performing during the German event’s 21st edition. Nina Kraviz, Ben Klock, The Black Madonna and Ellen Allien will be among the DJs performing.

Jon Hopkins, Honey Dijon and Amelie Lens will also be joining festival headliners The xx, Florence + The Machine and Tyler, The Creator.

Melt! runs 13th through 15th July at the Ferropolis open-air museum.  DJ Mag will report on the subsequent artist releases as they arrive.

Tickets are available here.

Nina Kraviz has announced a year-end tour across the Americas. The tour commences 16th November in Austin, Texas.

The tour, dubbed ‘NK Overseas’, runs through dance culture hubs Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mexico City, New York and Chicago before closing 23rd December at Space Miami. Stops in Juarez, Costa Rica, Medellin, Bogota and Houston are also on the itinerary. 

Kraviz ends 2017 with a performance spot during HYTE’s forthcoming 24-hour NYE rave.  

HYTE's 24-hour NYE rave timetable has been revealed for Funkhaus in Berlin, which looks set to be a celebration of the breadth and variety in the current international techno scene. That, and the arrival of 2018, of course. 

Nina Kraviz took to the Essential Mix decks in the earlier hours of Saturday morning for her second Essential Mix.

The mix, which you can hear below, features tracks from Joey Beltram, Bjarki, Terrence Dixon and Overmind.

She also spotlighted a host of tracks from her fledgeling imprint трип (pronounced Trip) from the likes of Deniro and Blawan.

Nina Kraviz’s personal possessions are missing following The Social festival, according to a post from the Kent event’s Twitter account.

The leather bag, which was left in a corridor at Hilton Hotel in Maidstone contained “some incredibly sentimental items” as well as a decade spanning music collection.

The Social festival took place over the weekend, on 29th and 30th September. You can see the tweet asking for information below.

ADE has added Irvine Welsh, Nina Kraviz, Ricardo Villalobos, and Charlotte de Witte to its enormous list of names for 2017, as the biggest event in the international dance music calendar draws ever closer. 

Running from 18th-22nd October this year, ADE- or Amsterdam Dance Event- is part conference, part unfathomably huge session, with addresses across the Dutch capital used for discussions, meetings, workshops and performances. 2,500 artists will be involved in the coming edition, with 140 locations set to be used during the five days.
