Legendary German techno institution Time Warp will make its Los Angeles debut on November 27 and 28, 2026, transforming Ace*Mission Studios into a three-stage electronic music experience featuring more than 30 international artists and 24 hours of music across two days.

Los Angeles is preparing to welcome one of the most influential brands in global techno culture as Time Warp officially announces its first edition in the city.

The internationally recognized electronic music event will take over Ace*Mission Studios on Friday, November 27, and Saturday, November 28, marking a significant expansion of the German festival’s presence in the United States.

Presented in collaboration with Insomniac and Factory 93, the event will feature three stages, an extensive international lineup and a production designed around the industrial character of the venue.

The festival will run from 2 PM until 2 AM each day, delivering 24 hours of electronic music across the weekend.

Richie Hawtin, Ben Klock and Rødhåd Among the Headliners

Time Warp Los Angeles has confirmed a lineup featuring some of the most respected names in international techno.

Among the standout artists are Richie Hawtin, Ben Klock, Rødhåd, Chlär, Novah, ONYVAA, ØTTA and Tiga.

Canadian electronic music pioneer Richie Hawtin brings decades of experience in minimal techno and technological experimentation.

German producer Ben Klock, closely associated with Berlin’s legendary Berghain nightclub, represents another major addition to the festival.

Rødhåd will also perform, bringing his atmospheric and hypnotic approach to techno to the West Coast.

The combination of established pioneers and contemporary underground artists reflects Time Warp’s longstanding commitment to different generations of electronic music.

The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice and SOSA Represent House Music

Alongside its extensive techno programming, Time Warp will showcase several influential figures from the international house music scene.

The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, East End Dubs, SOSA, Luuk van Dijk and Ahmed Spins are among the names confirmed.

Their inclusion introduces a different musical atmosphere, combining groove-driven house, minimal tech and contemporary underground sounds.

South African producer DESIREE will also perform, bringing her distinctive approach to Afro-house and electronic music.

The lineup’s diversity reflects Time Warp’s musical identity, which has historically incorporated different interpretations of house and techno.

Exclusive Back-to-Back Performances

One of the most interesting aspects of the Los Angeles edition is its selection of collaborative DJ sets.

British electronic producer Blawan will join Elli Acula for a special back-to-back performance, marking the pairing’s United States debut.

Another exclusive collaboration will bring together Gerd Janson and Julya Karma for their first back-to-back set.

Additional performances include D.Dan alongside Freddy K, Dennis Ferrer with Skream, and SPFDJ with TOCCORORO.

The festival will also feature Helena Hauff joining Juliana Huxtable, as well as a collaborative set from Heidi Lawden and Masha Mar.

These performances will allow audiences to experience combinations of musical influences that are rarely presented together.

The festival has announced its overall artist lineup, with the final distribution of performers across the two days still to be detailed.

Three Stages Inside an Industrial Warehouse Complex

Time Warp’s Los Angeles debut will take place at Ace*Mission Studios, with the event activating warehouse spaces that have not previously been used for this type of electronic music experience.

Located in Los Angeles, the complex provides an industrial environment that aligns with the festival’s underground identity.

Organizers will transform the space into three distinct dancefloors, using audiovisual production and lighting installations to create immersive environments.

Time Warp has built its international reputation through carefully designed stage concepts, synchronized lighting and high-quality sound systems.

The Los Angeles edition aims to bring that approach to the West Coast while maintaining the event’s emphasis on music and dancefloor culture.

More Than 30 Years of Techno History Arrive in California

Time Warp was founded in Mannheim, Germany, in 1994 and has since developed into one of the most recognizable international events dedicated to electronic music.

Over more than three decades, the brand has hosted performances from major figures in house and techno, building a reputation for extended DJ sets and distinctive production concepts.

Its international expansion has introduced the festival to audiences in cities including New York and Miami, alongside editions in other countries.

The arrival in Los Angeles represents another important milestone for the organization.

California has a longstanding relationship with electronic music culture, from underground warehouse parties to some of the largest dance music festivals in North America.

Time Warp’s debut will add another major international event to the city’s calendar.

Factory 93 and Insomniac Strengthen LA’s Underground Scene

The festival’s arrival also reflects Insomniac’s ongoing investment in underground electronic music through its Factory 93 platform.

Factory 93 has established a strong connection with house and techno audiences through events that emphasize industrial environments and underground musical programming.

Bringing Time Warp to Los Angeles creates an opportunity to connect the festival’s German heritage with Southern California’s contemporary club culture.

The collaboration also brings together established international artists and performers connected to the local electronic music community.

Regional artists including Colored Craig, fun2bjane, John Bryars and ØNYX are featured in the lineup.

Their inclusion highlights the role of California’s underground scene within the wider international event.
