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.
