In time for 9/9, here's… 999999999.
The Italian duo's reputation as a certified rave demolition crew has made them one of the most in-demand acts on the global circuit. Following a string of monster 303 jams in the late 2010s, Carlo B. & Giovanni C. became fast favourites of a generation who prefer their techno cranked to 11.
Their rampant velocity arrived at the right moment, proving parallel compatibility with acid lifers and younger audiences making the leap from EDM to hard dance. Too nosebleed for 'business', and too close to Defqon.1-level hardstyle to be hard techno in the classic sense, 999999999's headline sets practically require a new category to convey the sense of scale: let's call it megatechno.
Here, they emphasise the core elements of the 9x9 formula—high drama, jackhammering kicks and the kind of tweaked-out acid air sirens that would make the likes of Hardfloor and Miss Djax scrunch their noses in approval. In other words, non-stop wrecking balls trained squarely at the foundations of a hangar near you.
