4thBIRTHDAY

Light installation Tving Stage Design

We can't believe how fast time flies. Soon, together we're going to celebrate 4 years of Techno Rączka! 2018, on September 15, we prepared for you 16 hours of blissfulness in 2 different places in Kraków. We kick things off with our new project, On Lemon Techno Łączka. From 2pm in Stacja Wisła Park in Zabłocie district we're going to enjoy some top-notch house music served by: Furry, Mazubar, Muteki and Sergiusz Rudnik. Stacja Wisła is a new spot in Kraków, which is perfect for open air parties with light beats. Then we invite you for a short walk along the Wisła River embankments to a place you already

know well, the basement of the Forum Hotel where at 10pm the second part of our birthday party is going to start. Our headliner is an extremely fascinating character from the French techno scene, the owner of Singular Records Label and the resident of Tresor, Marcelus, who is going to perform in Poland for the first time. A strong support consists of representing the Wrocław's colective SLAP Spectribe, Anatomy of Mashup and the one man army, the man who needs no intoduction, Dtekk.

Marcelus

A French DJ and producer, born in Paris, at daytime an owner of the Singular Records Label, at night a resident of the Tresor club in Berlin. A 31-year-old whose sets give off that Detroit vibe and relate to berlin techno. A blend of those two trends with a reduced minimal sound roughly characterizes Marcelus's style. He has the ability to catch the listener's attention by operating a multilayer rhythm plane which coherently corresponds with the original melodic lines. A roughness lined with a dance vibe let the artist win the hearts of people all over the world. He's already made a couple of critically acclaimed EPs such as Magnet, Shine, Emerald and a longplay called Vibration. The ambitious French magician who never stops is surely going to be the essence of the Saturday event.

Dtekk

Man institution that we dont need to introduce to most of you. Dtekk aka Jędrzej Donidziło is responsible for Up To Date Festival, Ambient Salon, events from the Taste The East series and a million other initiatives. For decades, he has been promoting music from the borderline of techno, electro and ambient, he also promotes the whole region of Podlasie and takes part in activating society through actions such as "+50" or "Wyślij pocztówkę dla Babci".

During our second birthday party in Skład Długa, he played one of the most energetic sets we had ever heard - it was talked about for a long time. After two years, he will again honor us with his presence, and we cant wait to hear what he will present on the night of September 15th during his performance.
