Galactica, Italy’s leading itinerant techno collective, is set to bring its uncompromising sound to Amsterdam Dance Event 2025, taking over the first wagon of the Eat The Beat 50Hz Club Train on Friday, October 24th. For four hours, the mobile venue will transform into a rolling bastion of the underground, offering an immersive showcase of cutting-edge techno and avant-garde performance.
The takeover highlights the depth and diversity of Galactica’s roster, from the experimental Milan-based duo ANKKH—Kristofer and Ektor—whose hybrid live sets fuse techno with cyberpunk aesthetics, fashion, and body experimentation, to Daisy, one of the Italian underground’s brightest rising stars, whose DOMINA INFERA EP on Galactica Records has defined her artistic trajectory in 2025. Joining them is Gianni Di Bernardo, the Naples-born DJ and producer celebrated for his sharp, driving sound, honed through releases on Planet Rhythm and Revised Records and past appearances at ADE.
Rounding out the lineup are Kymera, Mattia Trani, V111, and Paolo Ferrara, each bringing their own vision of modern techno to the collective’s back-to-back format. Together, they form a powerful lineup that encapsulates Galactica’s identity: forward-thinking, boundary-breaking, and deeply connected to the underground pulse.
Adding an international edge, Berlin-based Nikolina and Scottish powerhouse Mha Iri join the showcase. Known for her uncompromising sets across Europe’s hardest dancefloors, Nikolina brings raw industrial energy, while Mha Iri’s melodic yet forceful productions showcase why she’s become one of the UK’s most exciting techno exports. Their performances will amplify the train’s relentless momentum, guiding passengers through a journey of pure intensity and sonic immersion.
Elsewhere on the 50Hz Club Train, other carriages will be hosted by Deeperfect, Celeste, Move Frankfurt, and Stuck in A Loop, each curating distinct experiences within the moving club. Three additional wagons will serve as bars and social spaces, allowing guests to flow between sonic environments throughout the night.
Since its inception, Galactica has cemented itself as Italy’s foremost platform for techno, uniting the country’s underground community and bringing it to major European capitals including Paris, London, Madrid, and Lisbon. With its headquarters at the legendary Cocoricò in Riccione, Galactica operates as both a festival brand and record label—an incubator for collaboration between established innovators and new voices shaping the next era of techno.
Founded in Melbourne, Eat The Beat has built a distinctive identity since 2017, known for high-energy club events and international collaborations. Returning to ADE for its fourth consecutive year, the collective’s 50Hz Club Train once again transforms rolling stock into an unforgettable, kinetic dance experience—this time powered by Galactica’s uncompromising sound.
