Oscar Mulero opens the first chapter of the Stone Techno Festival 2026 Curation Series, setting a clear tone for what lies ahead. The Spanish pioneer brings together artists who embody the discipline and depth of contemporary techno: DVS1, whose stripped-down intensity has become a benchmark of underground club culture; Isabel Soto, a rising force whose precision and restraint mark her as one to watch; Luigi Tozzi, known for his patient, tidal approach to rhythm, texture and space and the fast-paced and sophisticated techno force Philippa Pacho.
Together, they trace a line between tension and release, a sonic journey curated for immersion within the industrial architecture of the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein.
Over the next three weeks, further curators will be revealed, culminating in the full line-up announcement on December 11th at 18:30 CET.
Tickets are now available.
