@tim-haida

Tim Haida is a DJ based in the small town of Marburg. He tries to keep the timeless old school sound of Techno alive as he thinks it’s the most effective on the dancefloor to keep your hips moving. With this classic style of Techno he tries to push the local Scene forward and wants to create a counterbalance to the modern Hardtechno and Hardtrance music that dominates the clubs recently. In addition to that he is playing vinyl only as its the most natural way for him to blend between more well known classics and the underground side of Techno.



Lately he was more drawn to minimalistic club orientated Techno but as summer is approaching his style slowly shifts again to more energetic and very percussive heavy tribal Techno. This one hour will take you from banging drums and bongos to deep and hypnotic basslines. Prepare for one hour full of tribal grooves!
