NEGITIV ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE ‘ME & MY DEMONS’ TOUR, RELEASES EXPLOSIVE NEW YOUTUBE SET

Premiering alongside the tour announcement, the powerful 60-minute set departs from traditional dark techno aesthetics, presenting NEGITIV’s sound through a glossy, visually striking lens

For NEGITIV (real name Negin Paknia) techno is built on control as much as intensity. Her sound – rooted in hard-techno, schranz and industrial – is precise, physical and emotionally charged, designed for rooms where energy is pushed to its limit. With the announcement of her upcoming ‘Me & My Demons’ Tour, the Cologne-based, Persian-German DJ and producer now enters a focused new phase of her career, expanding her reach while sharpening her artistic identity.

The tour moves across a wide range of key clubs and festivals that define today’s hard-techno landscape. The routing places NEGITIV at some of the scene’s most established and influential platforms, including multiple appearances with Verknipt – one of the most recognized hard-techno brands globally – highlighted by her performance at Verknipt Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, a milestone venue within the genre. Further key dates include Terminal V Festival in the UK, Cocoricò in Riccione (Italy), and Free Your Mind in Arnhem (Netherlands), underlining her growing presence at major European festivals and institutions synonymous with high-impact techno.

Beyond Europe, ‘Me & My Demons’ also marks an important step in NEGITIV’s expansion into Asia, with performances at Chada by Tin Box in Singapore and VoxLive in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), two respected platforms within the region’s rapidly growing electronic music scene. Together, these dates reflect an artist operating across established strongholds while actively building new international territory.

Released alongside the tour announcement, NEGITIV’s special 60-minute YouTube set captures both her sound and her evolving visual direction. Shot by David De Palma, the set embraces a glossy, high-energy aesthetic built around bold colour palettes, clean compositions and a strong sense of forward motion. Styling by Fanny Briet Cederström and hair and make-up by Laura Gertz complete a look defined by leather and latex, deliberately moving away from traditional dark techno imagery in favour of a more polished, high-impact visual language.

The release arrives to an already substantial and engaged online audience. With a rapidly growing global following across social platforms and millions of cumulative streams across her digital releases and DJ content, the YouTube set offers fans and new listeners alike a clear entry point into NEGITIV’s world, both sonically and visually.

Following a prolific year in 2025 and momentum building toward an even broader international footprint this year, the ‘Me & My Demons’ Tour marks an important step forward for NEGITIV; one that reinforces her position as a driving force in contemporary hard-techno. It is a moment of consolidation as much as expansion, setting the foundation for the next phase of her international trajectory.

Real name Negir Paknia, NEGITIV is a Cologne-based DJ with Persian roots who grew up on the dance floors of the city’s underground scene. Driven purely by her love for techno, she taught herself how to DJ and quickly found her own sound.

Starting out with industrial techno, her style naturally evolved into a versatile mix of hard techno, psytrance and groove. What began in small underground spaces turned into a rapid rise: within her first year behind the decks, she went from zero to international stages.

Today, NEGITIV plays clubs and major festivals around the world, including events like Tomorrowland, Blackworks, Verknipt and her residency at Kiesgrube Germany. After just two years, she has become one of the most exciting breakthrough artists in her scene authentic, energetic and deeply connected to the dance floor.

SURREAL PARK CARNIVAL 2026: JAMIE JONES, SETH TROXLER, MISS MONIQUE, A:RPIA:R AND MORE UNITE ACROSS THREE STAGES

Staged at one of the world’s largest club complexes, Surreal Park’s 135,000m² Carnival edition brings together tens of thousands of party goers

Date: Sunday 15th February
Location: Camboriú, Santa Catarina, Brazil

Carnival has always marked a defining moment in the calendar of Surreal Park. It is the night when scale expands, curatorship deepens and artistic ambition reaches new heights. In 2026, that tradition intensifies once again.

On Sunday 15th February, from 9pm, Surreal Park presents a large-scale Carnival edition spanning three simultaneous stages across its monumental 135,000m² complex,  the largest club in the world. The programme brings together global headliners, underground pioneers and scene-defining artists across a multi-dimensional electronic music journey.

From House and Tech House to Melodic Techno, Progressive House and Romanian minimal, Carnival 2026 is constructed around hypnotic, long-form and immersive dancefloor experiences, allowing audiences to move freely between distinct sonic worlds.

Ritual: peak energy and global headliners

Ritual, the largest stage in the complex, with capacity for over 10,000 people, forms the central axis of the night.

At the forefront is Seth Troxler, returning to Surreal Park as a true underground icon. Known for his irreverent selections and unpredictable instincts, Troxler’s sets balance technical mastery with raw dancefloor energy, delivering moments that feel both spontaneous and timeless.

Making his long-awaited Surreal Park debut is Jamie Jones, one of the defining architects of modern House and Tech House. Founder of Hot Creations, Jones has shaped contemporary club aesthetics for more than a decade. His groove-driven precision and rare ability to command large-scale audiences make him a landmark addition to Carnival 2026.

Surreal Park’s own visionary founder Ratier returns as host and connective force for the evening. Celebrating 30 years behind the decks, Ratier remains a cornerstone of Brazil’s electronic music evolution.

Joining the Ritual lineup is Beltran, one of Brazil’s most internationally prominent artists. With releases across globally respected imprints, his crisp, driving sound continues to resonate on the world’s biggest stages.

Opening duties are handled by Bapp, setting the tone from the very first beat.

Bells: melodic power and emotional intensity

Bells explores deeper emotional frequencies while maintaining high-impact dancefloor momentum.

The headline moment comes from Miss Monique, one of the most respected names in Melodic Techno and Progressive House. Celebrated for immersive, narrative-led sets and global reach through her Siona Records imprint and online platform, Miss Monique brings cinematic intensity and soaring dynamics to Carnival’s second arena.

She is joined by Adria, DJ Murphy, Ray and Nezello, creating a carefully structured energy arc that balances atmosphere, progression and sustained impact throughout the night.

Nomad: long form immersion and deep listening

Nomad takes on the most conceptual and introspective role of Carnival 2026, a space designed for extended storytelling and sonic exploration.

The standout performance arrives from A:RPIA:R, the collaborative project uniting Rhadoo, Raresh and Petre Inspirescu. Renowned for their hypnotic, nuanced and patiently unfolding performances, A:RPIA:R’s extended set finds its ideal setting within Nomad’s immersive environment.

Completing the lineup are Cesare vs Disorder and Botanic Soundsystem, reinforcing Nomad’s identity as a destination for deep discovery and sonic subtlety, powered by a pristine Funktion-One sound system.
