Unreal x ADE 2026: Kuko all night long

On 23 October 2026, Unreal lands at AFAS Live in Amsterdam for a night driven by KUKO, all night long, with a special guest dropping in. Part of the new wave coming out of Cologne, KUKO shapes a techno that moves between cold melancholy and industrial grit. His sets build on raw energy and tight rhythmic pressure, letting dark atmospheres breathe while a subtle melodic thread keeps the floor locked in. Resident with Adrenaline and aligned with 44 Label Group, he’s honed his sound on major stages and recently pressed it to wax with a first vinyl EP, sharpening that balance of tension and release he brings to the booth.

Across an extended set, expect him to stretch tempos, dig into hypnotic grooves and push toward harder edges without losing focus. The room becomes his canvas: long blends, precise drops, flashes of emotion in the shadows, a constant pull forward. A special guest joins to twist the narrative at the right moment, but the night belongs to KUKO from start to finish.
