Nantes Rave Techno XXL with I Hate Models, BOTL at Warehouse, Cape Town

Nantes Rave Techno XXL returns on April 17, 2026, transforming the Warehouse into a pulsating hub of electronic music with a special Boiler Room edition featuring a 360° stage. Headlining the event is I Hate Models, a prominent force in contemporary techno known for his emotionally charged sets that traverse the realms of nostalgia, melancholy, and intensity. With a sound that fuses techno, industrial, and trance elements, his performances are deeply introspective, highlighting the contrast between light and dark. As the founder of the Disco Inferno label, I Hate Models stands out as a defining voice in today's electronic landscape.

Joining him is BOTL, an emerging talent in the European hard techno scene. Drawing inspiration from old-school rave culture, his sets are characterized by heavy percussion, distorted grooves, and piercing melodies. Recognized by top DJs in the genre, BOTL's performances resonate with raw, unfiltered energy, designed for both intimate clubs and larger festivals.

The local scene will be well represented in Room 1, showcasing Just MC (Symbiose) B2B Hder (OSS Records) and Bones 33 (Hotline) B2B Miza (Hotline), creating an engaging atmosphere for the audience. Meanwhile, Room 2 will feature a Hard Techno showcase, with Ghostface (Furi Techno) B2B Apocalipse (La Piratech) and Drillicit bringing their unique sounds to the forefront.
