Toxic Machinery

Based in Amsterdam, Toxic Machinery brings Mads and Tristen together around a sound positioned between hard techno and industrial techno, with an approach focused on speed, rhythmic tension and dark textures. The duo develops a frontal sound built on crisp percussion, saturated kicks and a continuous energy designed for rave contexts and underground spaces. Toxic Machinery has made its mark on the European scene through appearances at events such as Verknipt, Blackworks, Teletech, Rotterdam Rave, Nacht Wacht and Fury, in settings ranging from warehouses to festival stages. Their aesthetic remains rooted in hard, abrasive techno, where sonic density and rhythmic pressure are central while remaining readable for the dancefloor. Based in the Netherlands, Toxic Machinery belongs to a generation of artists pushing hard techno toward more direct, industrial forms, with sets conceived for intensity as much as for mix continuity.
