Galactica, Italy’s premier itinerant techno collective, will bring its signature sound to Amsterdam Dance Event 2025, taking over the first wagon of the Eat The Beat 50Hz Club Train on Friday, October 24th. For four hours, the moving venue will host an uncompromising showcase of techno, turning the train into a rolling extension of the underground.
The showcase highlights the breadth of Galactica’s roster, from the experimental Milan-based duo ANKKH—Kristofer and Ektor, artists whose hybrid performances merge techno with cyberpunk aesthetics, fashion and body experimentation—to Daisy, a rising voice of the Italian underground, whose DOMINA INFERA EP on Galactica Records has defined her 2025 trajectory. Gianni Di Bernardo, Naples-born DJ and producer, brings a sharp, driving sound already tested on the stages of ADE and across releases for Planet Rhythm and Revised Records, while Kymera, Mattia Trani, V111, and Paolo Ferrara add further weight to the collective’s back-to-back format, each embodying a distinct vision of contemporary techno.
Completing the lineup are two international guests: Berlin-based Nikolina, and Scottish powerhouse Mha Iri, whose melodic yet forceful productions have earned her a reputation as one of the UK’s most promising exports. Together, the artists intensify the train’s forward momentum, crafting a journey that shifts seamlessly between raw physicality and immersive sound design.
Sharing the train with Galactica are Deeperfect, Celeste, Move Frankfurt, and Stuck in A Loop, programming the other music carriages. Three remaining wagons host bars and social spaces, allowing passengers to navigate between different sonic environments throughout the night.
Since its founding, Galactica has positioned itself as Italy’s leading platform for techno, bringing the country’s underground scene to major European cities including Paris, London, Madrid and Lisbon. With its headquarters at legendary Riccione club Cocoricò, Galactica functions as both a festival brand and record label, providing a space where established and emerging artists collaborate to push the limits of the genre.
Eat The Beat is an events and artist-booking collective founded in Melbourne. Since 2017 the collective has built a distinct club identity and expanded through international collaborations and curated events. Eat The Beat returns to ADE for the fourth consecutive year with the 50Hz Club Train, an initiative that converts rolling stock into a mobile club experience.
