Hard Techno: Music & Lifestyle
Conference
Hard Techno: Music & Lifestyle
Speakers: Sara Landry (Artist), Michelle Verhoef (General Manager, R&M Events - Verknipt)
The high BPM scene is back with a vengeance with the meteoric rise of Hard Techno taking the global music and event industry by storm. It has evolved into a cultural movement that includes fashion and several lifestyle trends. Fuelled by a young and highly engaged community, the Hard Techno scene looks like it’s here to stay. During this conversation we explore the origin and impact of hard techno from both an artist and event angle in a fireside chat between Sara Landry, a self-taught producer, audio engineer, and DJ known for her dark, driving, and divinely feminine brand of industrial techno, together with Michelle Verhoef, the General Manager of Verknipt, who, as well as being an electronic music industry maverick, is also paving the way for the hard-techno sound and for women in music.
