For the first episode of the new season of NVC's legendary clubnights, the two-man Civic Instruction supergroup teleports here from its next-level techno capsule of transcendence. One of them is UFO95, who, true to his name, seems to import the weirdest sounds from the club cultures of alien civilisations, and the other is the devil of classic and fresh wave techno, the man who can't compromise: Hadone.

"I was just in the right places playing good music for good people," she said in a Resident Advisor interview. Grinning lemon yellow, we suspect it will be no different this time!

Read MoreHARDBOILED - DINA, AKÁC X TECHNOKOOL, MIRMUR, SZOLIVER X RUENGE, ZÖRGETŐ ZRT.
Working in the twilight zone of tense trance and nu techno, our series is preparing this season with nights to remember, starting with DINA from Berlin's Nachtcrew, who is interested in psychedelic time warps in both her productions and dj sets. Her most recent EP on KI/KI’s Slash is described as an ”impressive combination of immersive basslines transforming into huge amounts of dancefloor euphoria”.

Read MoreTURBINA PSYTEK #1 w/ X-Dream
There is a mystical sweet spot between techno and trance, an experience capsule floating on the musical event horizon that some people unknowingly created back in the 90s. In this genre-hybrid singularity playing in the colors of the Aurora Borealis, the impulsivity of the sounds grows to infinity, the concepts of time and space we know collapse to give way to a special material that is outside of all frameworks and does not stand still, rather moving and morphing like mercury , which we now call: psytechno.

How did the Pest public become open to this hospitality, which is very different from domestic customs? Why is it good and difficult to run businesses based on family and friendship relationships? Why is hospitality in the biggest crisis right now? Can Hungarian dishes be eaten in a shared way with others?

After our Turbine Hall-focused rave, we continue to build the INOTA narrative: during the last days of summer, light art will become the main protagonist and the power plant zone will become one huge accessible exhibition space - while the electronic music side will not be forgotten, from cosmic ambient to cutting-edge techno.

We love living here! Amazing architecture, talented, relaxed, wonderful people, exciting vibes! But "just in the good old days"? "Everything was better back then"? What is the reality behind commonplaces known to everyone? Are they over-romanticizing, or has the situation not changed since then?
