“There are no rules” – Inside Prague’s hard techno scene

In your standard guidebook it may be referred to as the “city of a hundred spires”. Its municipal administration is certainly interested in making Prague a destination for high culture and congress events. But, if you know the right people and the right places, you will discover that the Czech capital is also a budding techno hotspot.

To find out more about this raw side of Prague I caught up with two members of the local up-and-coming VOID collective, Greg and Thibault. They are set to hold an event at one of the capital’s most popular techno venues – Altenburg 1964 – this Saturday, July 1.

Greg is an IT specialist during the day and a techno DJ when the sun goes down. He says he first got into the music genre around eight years ago. Back when he was still living in his native Poland.

Thibault, meanwhile, is from Reims in France and acts as the collective’s chief event organizer. He ran a club in his hometown before eventually moving to Prague.
