HYPNO returns for 2026 with Philippa Pacho [Extended 4-hour Set] + Support

Born and raised in Sweden, Philippa landed a residency at Stockholm-based club Under Bron back in 2012. Her story began in Stockholm but extends to Berlin, where she is currently based and continues to thrive in the city’s renowned techno scene.

Playing across Europe with bookings at clubs and festivals such as Berghain, FOLD, Bassiani, Dekmantel, Stone Techno Festival and Awakenings Upclose, Philippa captivates her audience from the first beat, showcasing the finest from her extensive collection, mixed with a knife-edged focus—a technique that stems from years of building and refining her craft.

Alongside her career as a DJ, Philippa also co-runs the positivesource imprint with UK-born artist Blue Hour, and in 2024, she also launched her own techno label imprint that focuses on deep and hypnotic Techno, blending intricate atmospheric sound design with a focus on sophisticated and contemporary dance floors. With upcoming releases in the pipeline, Philippa continues to collaborate with many of the industry’s most respected and leading artists.

In addition to Philippa, we will have an extended 3-hour set from a talented support DJ/producer and label owner who is highly respected for their technical prowess and unique sound aesthetic.

Note: VOL.16 will be our last event before a hiatus. Let's make this one the best ever.

About HYPNO:

HYPNO was established 2022 in the heart of Sydney to explore and showcase high calibre local and international techno talent. Predominantly hypnotic, raw and driving techno with a hint of groove, HYPNO seeks to push the boundaries of techno not by simply following trends but defining what techno can be.

Aiming to leave a distinctive footprint in its humble local scene, the event series and podcast consistently showcases the unique sound narratives of local DJs and producers. We revere local talent equally to international performers and hand-pick artists for each show, in the pursuit of an unparalleled sonic experience from beginning to end.

We believe in an immersive sound and dance-floor experience where people from all walks of life can bring their best selves, momentarily escaping daily life and find connection amongst each other and the music we love most.

Come Early. Stay Late. Dress To Sweat.
