Beats on Time opens 2026 by returning to a first principle: for the music. Not scale. Not spectacle. And definitely not velocity. But trust, listening, and time.

This showcase at Signal NYC is not just about names on a flyer. It’s about people on the dancefloor. A room built for listening attention, a label rooted in patience, and artists who understand the floor as a shared language rather than a product.

At the center of the night is Robag Wruhme - a foundational voice whose work across KOMPAKT and PAMPA has shaped how entire generations move, wait, and feel together. His presence isn’t symbolic. It’s structural.

In an era where music is increasingly engineered for speed, compliance, and algorithmic approval, ‘In Constant Evolution’ drops like a sentimental reminder of what has been lost between the lines of chasing virality.
Not a trend response.
A line in the sand. 

Madd Rod’s latest album rejects the idea that electronic music must be optimized to survive. It resists the flattening of sound into singles, the reduction of artists into genre bins, and the growing expectation that creativity should behave like data.

In a city where nightlife has always been political, Kluster has become one of Paris’s most influential voices for safer, more inclusive dance spaces. Born from the silence of lockdown, the collective now stands at the intersection of techno, care, and resistance — just as France enters a decisive election cycle that could redefine the future of its underground culture.

In a time when the pulse of underground music is smothered by safe, predictable rhythms, we’re stepping into a realm where authenticity reigns. This conversation isn’t about echoing familiar refrains—it’s about opening up a space where fiery energy and uncompromising passion can flourish. Today, we lay the groundwork for a dialogue that dives into the heart of electronic music’s most defiant moments. Before the words spill over, let the atmosphere build as our guest readies to introduce himself.
