Nico Moreno

2 upcoming festivals

One of hard techno's fastest-rising names — high-BPM, hands-in-the-air brutality, industrial kicks stacked to the ceiling.

Nico Moreno is a French DJ and producer based in Lyon, working in the harder end of contemporary techno. His sets run at high tempos and lean on distorted kick drums, industrial textures and blunt, repetitive riffs, with breakdowns built for large rooms rather than subtlety. He emerged alongside a wave of French producers who pushed hard techno back into festival and warehouse settings in the late 2010s, and his own productions follow the same template: heavy, direct and arranged around impact.
