The Artists
999999999
999999999 have emerged as a dominant force in the hard techno scene since their inception in 2016. The Italian duo blends uncompromising machine music with improvisation, resulting in an ever-evolving and energetic sound. Their independent label, NineTimesNine, has produced a series of critically acclaimed 12” releases, many of which have been repressed due to high demand. Their breakout track, “300000003,” released on Planet Rhythm in 2018, introduced their distinctive acid techno style to a broader audience, further cementing their influence in the genre.
While their studio work has garnered attention, it is their live performances that have truly defined their reputation. 999999999 delivers an electrifying hardware-only set, capable of captivating audiences at major techno events around the world. Their impressive performance history includes renowned festivals and clubs such as Awakenings, Fabric in London, and Sub Club in Glasgow, alongside extensive tours across the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Their ability to create a visceral experience sets them apart in a competitive landscape.
In addition to their live shows, 999999999 host the 9x9 Invites events, fostering connections with other artists and promoting their vision of techno. Notable venues like the iconic Griessmuehle in Berlin have served as platforms for these curated events, where they invite respected figures from the techno scene. Their dedication to an immersive experience is evident in their willingness to take over clubs for extended sets, exemplified by their groundbreaking 12-hour takeover at Khidi in Tbilisi. The duo's success lies in their powerful musical intent, aiming to provoke strong emotional responses from their audience and providing an unyielding tribute to the darker side of nightlife.
