At the forefront of the hard techno scene, the Italian duo 999999999 (pronounced "Nine Times Nine") have established an imposing and inescapable presence since their formation in 2016, blending uncompromising machine music with improvisational energy to create an ever-shifting and forward-pushing force both in the studio and on stage. Known for their gnarly, precision-tooled 12" releases on their own NineTimesNine label, they achieved breakout success with their viral track "300000003" on Planet Rhythm, which introduced their unique take on acid techno to a massive new audience. While they expanded into digital releases in 2020 and began welcoming other artists to their label, it is their electrifying, hardware-only live sets that have truly cemented their reputation, allowing them to ignite massive techno festivals and intimate basements alike across the globe, from Awakenings and Fabric to Crssd and Kompass. Beyond their extensive tours, they also curate their own 9x9 Invites events and have even performed 12-hour club takeovers, with their success attributed to a powerful force of personality that ensures every thunderous kick and twisting acid line is delivered with the clear-sighted intention of eliciting the maximum physical and emotional response from the dancer.
