Introducing Paradise City’s Orbit Stage to the Rosengarten
A small stage designed for big moments.
Is it August yet? Here’s some good news. What started as the smallest stage at our big sister, Paradise City Festival in Belgium, quickly became one of the most talked-about dancefloors. Last summer, this stage debuted with a bang: intimate, circular, and high in energy. With a raised mezzanine for wide views, a central DJ booth surrounded by the crowd, and a tight capacity, every set played there was packed.
Now, we’re bringing the Orbit Stage to Austria for the first time. We will place this structure over and around the dry pool of Rosengarten’s dancefloor, allowing us to install an impressive light and smoke installation from beneath. Expect DJ sets at their wildest, and three nights of sweat and euphoria. Built small. Felt big. Designed for lift-off.
Playing here during the Paradies Garten weekend: Interplanetary Criminal, Moodymann, Eris Drew & Rumi de Baires, Shanti Celeste, Kikelomo, Altroy Jerome & JP Bechamel, Flo Real, DJ frauenquote, siilvesterr & randalia, DJ, Sprudel & seba, Lola Haro and Vitess (live).
Marcel Dettmann: the protector of techno’s original spirit
This is how techno shaped Marcel Dettmann – and how he shaped it in return.
“Techno is the soundtrack of the future,” Marcel Dettmann once remarked, capturing the essence of his lifelong devotion to electronic music. As one of the founding residents of Berghain’s predecessor OstGut in 1999, and since Berghain itself, Dettmann has helped shape what many consider the world’s most influential techno temple. Beyond playing records, he is a curator, label owner, producer, and sound architect whose work spans club floors, art installations, and film soundtracks.
Now, more than three decades into his career, Dettmann has found his place in a new era, defined by surprising B2B sets, ongoing residencies, and a desire to push his sound philosophy to new generations.
In this article, we explore the life and legacy of Marcel Dettmann, ahead of his highly anticipated DJ set at Paradies Garten’s Castle Stage on Sunday August 3. Whether you’re new to his uncompromising attitude or a longtime admirer, this short portrait illuminates why Dettmann is – and remains – a cornerstone of contemporary techno.
“I make music from my gut,” Dettmann explains. He avoids technical showmanship in favour of visceral impact. His production process often involves routing multiple kick drum channels through a single effects chain, reversing loops, and building textures from noise recordings. The result is a sound that is at once reduced and rough, emotional and unpredictable.
Through his imprint MDR (Marcel Dettmann Records) and, since 2019, Bad Manners Records, he has championed emerging talent – Kobosil, Answer Code Request, Wrong Copy – and promoted the idea that techno should be timeless, not trend-driven. As a curator, he insists on authenticity: “Do what excites you, not what fits the charts.” His influence is evident in a generation of producers who balance minimal structures with industrial grit. It also stands in sharp contrast with many other contemporary techno artists, who have chosen a more straightforward path in the studio and the DJ booth.
Hello sunshine, glad to have you back. Before we dive headfirst into our summer, we’re making one essential pit stop.
On Friday May 23, we join forces with vie.w and take over the beautiful PRST for a club night filled with heat, heart, and high energy. Taking the lead: Ibiza’s Pascal Moscheni will bring boatloads of sultry island tracks for a big back to back session with our very own Nizar Sarakbi. Smooth rhythms, stomping basslines, bopping flows – this is peak house music.
But there’s plenty more, of course. How about a B2B2B set with Alice, Apua and Stipo? Count us in. And why not throw another local hero, vince, in the mix too? Sounds like a recipe for a stellar club night with friends and family.
