999999999

999999999 are an imposing and inescapable presence at the vanguard of the hard techno scene. Since the project started in 2016, the Italian duo have released a potent run of gnarly, precision-tooled 12”s on their own NineTimesNine label, most of which have been repressed multiple times in response to widespread demand. Elsewhere, their ‘300000003’ track (released on Planet Rhythm in 2018) was a breakout success, catching a viral wave and breaking their take on acid techno to a huge new audience. Beyond their tours, 999999999 also take pride in hosting their own specially curated 9x9 Invites events across Europe, most notably in the much-missed Berlin techno mecca Griessmuehle where they welcomed respected artists such as Sunil Sharpe and Umwelt. Every acid line is fired off with a clear-sighted intention – everything is pitched to elicit the maximum physical and emotional response from the dancer. There’s no middle ground, just an emphatic tribute to the hard, dark, deep end of the night.
