Since its launch in Mannheim, in 1994, Time Warp has been the gold standard for techno fans. On Saturday, April 25th, 2026, the famous German festival finally made its debut in Miami, taking over Factory Town for a night of non-stop music.

Across the years, the event is well-known for three things: great sound, long DJ sets, and a focus on the music. This Miami edition, put together by Insomniac, Factory 93, and Cosmopop, stayed true to those roots.
The biggest highlight of the night was the Infinity Room. For the first time, Time Warp designed and built a custom production setup specifically for this dance floor. Instead of a typical stage, the lights and sound were built all around the crowd, making the warehouse feel like a massive, glowing machine. It was designed to keep people moving and make the music sound perfect.
With three stages and a lineup full of techno icons, including Richie Hawtin, tINI, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, Hector Oaks, and Honey Dijon, among many others, there was a lot to see, but some special sets caught our attention.
The world debut of Boys Noize back-to-back SPFDJ. The two DJs played together for the first time, mixing fast, heavy techno with gritty underground beats. The energy was incredible, and the crowd didn’t stop moving for a second.
Techno icons Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann delivered a masterclass session. Playing back-to-back, they brought the hypnotic, deep sound of Berlin to Miami, keeping the crowd locked in a rhythmic trance for hours.
While the night leaned heavily on industrial sounds, variety was key. Honey Dijon brought a burst of soulful house energy, while the eclectic pairing of Chloé Caillet and DJ Tennis provided a groovier, more melodic escape.
To close out the night, Klangkuenstler played a powerful “sunrise set.” Finishing a festival as the sun comes up is a huge tradition, and his hard, industrial sound was the perfect way to end the night.
Time Warp Miami didn’t feel like just another party; it felt like a piece of techno history in the region. By focusing on long sets from a selected group of artists, they brought the real underground vibe of Germany to Factory Town.
