INDIRA PAGANOTTO, 999999999, GIORGIA ANGIULI, AND CERA KHIN LEAD THE LINEUP FOR THE TWO-DAYS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RETURN TO ITS HOME BASE IN RICCIONE

After a string of high-profile international dates, GALACTICA - Italy’s first itinerant hard techno festival - returns to where it all began: Cocoricò. On April 24 and 25, the iconic pyramid-shaped club in Riccione will once again host GALACTICA, for a two-day celebration of cutting-edge electronic music, bringing together the past, present, and future of club culture. GALACTICA’s return to this legendary venue is marked by a stellar lineup.

Headlining the event is psy-techno queen INDIRA PAGANOTTO, alongside 999999999, the globally revered Berlin-based duo originally from Veneto. The program also features a live set by multi-instrumentalist and producer GIORGIA ANGIULI, and a fast-paced DJ set by Tunisian force of nature CERA KHIN.

Other standout performances include Belgian talent MARHU, signed to Indira’s Artcore label; Berlin techno icon FREDDY K; avant-garde duo ANKKH; and rising UK hard techno star AZYR.

Following its homecoming at Cocoricò, GALACTICA will continue its interstellar journey with summer editions on Pag Island in July, and in Malta, with events scheduled for both July and August—further expanding its tour and confirming its role as a driving force in contemporary electronic music.

Since 1989, the legendary club of the Riviera Romagnola has continued its path of research and experimentation, always honoring the rich past of club culture. A place where culture, music, respect, and inclusion have always found and will continue to find a home—a symbol of global electronic music.

The new Cocoricò, completely renovated both internally and externally, recalls its glorious past through its iconic aesthetics and artistic direction choices. A club that drives a constantly evolving scene, playing a key role in the history of music and Italian pop culture, bringing together passionate audiences and the most prestigious and interesting artists of the moment.

Cocoricò has become the reference point for Italy’s electronic music and club culture scene, maintaining a balance between past, present, and future.

In May 2024, Cocoricò inaugurated MUDI – Museo Discoteca, the first contemporary art museum inside a club, featuring a collection of works by Italian artists. Some of the exhibited works will soon be available for purchase, with proceeds going toward commissioning new pieces—ensuring a constant renewal and keeping the museum vibrant and current.

LEPRINCE DEBUTS ON FILTH ON ACID WITH REGGATRONIC ‘WHO DEM’ EP!

Reggatronic trailblazer LePrince debuts on Filth On Acid with his latest ‘Who Dem’ EP.

Known for his genre-blending approach he ventures into uncharted territory, fusing his deep-rooted love of hardstyle with his signature rhythmic energy and influences of reggae and hip-hop to create a sound built for maximum impact in the club.

The EP sees LePrince explore the raw intensity of acid-infused techno and hard-style, presenting a trio of tracks designed to ignite dancefloors worldwide. Opening with the solo cut ‘Who Dem’, he delivers a relentless rush of pounding drums and electrifying acid lines. Teaming up with Sevn Rhodes for ‘Issa Vibe’, the energy escalates with driving rhythms, rapid-fire synths, and raw vocal hooks. Closing out the release, ‘Hardcore’, with Maski & Banga lives up to its name, unleashing unrelenting kicks and soaring trance-techno synths in a track primed for peak-time destruction.

LePrince’s ability to merge influences from across genres is rooted in his diverse musical background. Raised in Amsterdam, his early years were shaped by Surinamese Kawina and Kaseko music before he expanded into reggae and electronic sounds. His breakthrough came in 2010 when he won first place in an HIV awareness campaign using music as a tool for education, alongside being recognized as Best R.O.C. Artist for Central Netherlands. His track ‘Forgive Me’, produced by Leffy Ignacio Cairo, gained widespread recognition and cemented his status as an artist with a unique voice in the industry.

Now stepping into new sonic realms and pursuing his reggatronic sound, LePrince continues to evolve, bringing his immersive live performances to some of the world’s most iconic stages. He debuted his solo act at major festivals such as Defqon.1, Qlimax and Sziget, combining DJing and live performance that bridges cultures, styles, and generations.

With his debut on the legendary Filth on Acid championing his sound, LePrince reinforces his reputation once more, delivering a release that defines a new wave of genre fusion.
