Teknocraft Sessions officially launches on May 15 at 2ten Athens with a first edition dedicated to hypnotic techno, ritualistic energy and deep dancefloor connection.
Under the name Teknocraft S One, the new series positions itself around a simple but uncompromising philosophy:
pure techno and total immersion inside the rhythm.
Rather than chasing spectacle or trend-driven club culture, Teknocraft Sessions focuses entirely on dancers, movement and the emotional dissolution that happens when sound fully takes over the room.
The lineup brings together EMPERØR, SENAIDA and NAAMAA — three artists approaching techno from very different perspectives while sharing a common connection to intensity, atmosphere and transformative club energy.
Opening the night is EMPERØR, the Athens-based artist whose relationship with techno began only a few years ago after witnessing a Len Faki set that completely changed his direction. Since then, he has immersed himself obsessively into DJ culture, studying mixes, refining technique and developing a sound balancing hypnotic progression with driving rhythmic force.
His sets move fluidly between emotional tension and raw physical momentum, always designed around maintaining full dancefloor immersion.
Joining him is SENAIDA, a Hakka Chinese-Canadian transdisciplinary artist, sound healer, researcher and curator whose work exists between electronic music, generative art, posthuman theory and collective ritual experience.
As founder of the NYC-based queer BIPOC collective WE ARE THE FUTURE!, SENAIDA has built a global reputation for creating deeply atmospheric and liminal club experiences where sound functions not only as entertainment, but as transformation.
Their approach introduces a more experimental and emotionally layered dimension into the night’s progression.
Completing the lineup is NAAMAA, whose connection to techno is rooted directly in the dancefloor itself. Drawing influence from Detroit foundational techno while embracing hypnotic minimalism and ritualistic energy, her sound explores darker subconscious spaces through repetitive structures, tension and stripped-back sonic precision.
The atmosphere surrounding Teknocraft Sessions feels intentionally spiritual as much as musical.
The organizers describe the night as dedicated to “the spirited dancers who save every night” — people who fully surrender to movement and collective energy rather than treating nightlife as passive consumption.
That perspective aligns naturally with the identity of 2ten Athens, a venue increasingly connected to underground electronic culture operating beyond commercial formulas and surface-level aesthetics.
Visually, the event also references Laurie Simmons’ Bending Globe artwork from 1991, reinforcing the conceptual and immersive direction behind the series.
As Athens’ techno landscape continues evolving through more focused and intentional underground projects, Teknocraft Sessions enters the scene with a clear identity already formed from its very first edition.
On May 15, 2ten becomes a space dedicated entirely to rhythm, tension and dissolution into the beat.
