I sit down with the founders of Teletech to break down how the hard techno scene exploded into a global movement.

From underground raves in Manchester to selling 20,000 tickets in an hour, we unpack how Teletech scaled by prioritising community over hype, accessibility over elitism, and long-term thinking over quick wins.

We talk about why hard techno connected so deeply with younger crowds, what most promoters get wrong about the raver experience, and how learning from negative feedback shaped Teletech’s growth. The conversation also dives into touring Australia and Europe, building artists alongside a brand, and why things like sound, space, water, and respect matter more than flashy line-ups.

This episode is about the rise of hard techno, building culture instead of just events, and what it really takes to grow a global event brand.
