After its lauded American debut last year, Germany’s long-running techno staple TIME WARP returns for its second indoor festival in New York City in November, this time taking over the historic Bedford Armory in Brooklyn on November 20-21. Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Joseph Capriati and Chris Liebing (with many more to be announced), will be bringing cutting-edge techno and phenomenal production for a weekend that celebrates NYC’s rich history as a world-beating electronic music scene.
This year’s TIME WARP NYC edition boasts an already massive lineup as well as an incredible raw location deep in the heart of Brooklyn, making this one of the most anticipated parties of the year.
Hot Creations don Jamie Jones and Detroit puritan Seth Troxler, will be teaming up to do their east coast back-to-back debut, while Chilean techno legend Ricardo Villalobos is back in the US after a very long hiatus from the country.
“Our mission is to make people dance,” said TIME WARP founder Steffen Charles, “and we’re delighted to do that again in NYC.”
Last year’s Thanksgiving weekend party saw scene heavyweights Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Dixon, Joseph Capriati, Luciano joined by local east coast fixtures The Martinez Brothers, DJ Tennis, Josh Wink, for a weekend of searing techno at the 39th Street Pier.
This year’s TIME WARP NYC sees founder Steffen Charles and his team bring the festival to the 108 year-old Bedford Armory in Brooklyn. The two floor, 138,000 sq. ft castle is the perfect venue for what techno legend and TIME WARP staple Sven Väth dubbed “the best indoor event on this planet”. The organizers will be refitting the historic space with their infamous Cave 2.0 production, which will be shipped directly from Germany and will see the venue’s innards transformed into an icy subterranean cavern.
Over the years the global event has become well-known as the meeting place between a festival and warehouse party, and TIME WARP has built its reputation by fusing dark, dancefloor-aligned techno with visceral custom stage production and lighting.
Built by artist collectives, technicians and interdisciplinary creatives from all over the world, the “Signature Floors” such as the Cave 1.0 and 2.0 are large-scale installations which transport visitors through various optical worlds. The space transforms from a cavernous ice cave to a menacing inferno depending on the colours and rhythms of more than 400 lamps and lasers.
TIME WARP’s organizers Cosmopop (Sonus Festival in Croatia, Love Family Park and Stuttgart Electronic Music Festival in Germany) are joining forces with world-renowned festival promoter ID&T and New York’s TCE.
