Seven Days of Brutalist Techno.

Brutalist architecture was a mid-century declaration that buildings should declare their construction. Concrete was concrete. Rebar was rebar. No false fronts. Techno is the same instinct in sound: kick drum, hi-hat, no melody, no false fronts. The structure is the music. This week-long route reads seven brutalist rooms across Europe and the UK that have been claimed by techno: Berghain (Friedrichshain power plant), Tresor (Mitte concrete vault, omitted in the atlas v1 but a candidate for v2), Loftas (Vilnius factory), KOKO (London 1900s theatre with a brutalist back-of-house), Concertgebouw cellar venues (Amsterdam), Lux Frágil (Lisbon ex-warehouse), and the Aotea Centre carpark series in Auckland for the Pacific finish.
