Taikano on tour with DJ Godfather / SHADESY / AJAY C

Season 8 is here—bringing an electrifying weekend of high-octane music and unparalleled energy designed to leave you wanting more. 

This time, we’re taking over Edinburgh and Glasgow, making our debut at the legendary The Liquid Rooms and reigniting the spark at our home town, The Ferry. 

As a brand rooted in respect for Detroit’s rich musical heritage, it’s only right that we celebrate the city’s defining genre: Ghetto Tech. With its fast-paced, raw energy, the sound of Detroit has left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene. 

To honor this legacy, we’ve invited none other than the pioneer himself: 

DJ GODFATHER 

A trailblazer of Ghetto Tech, DJ Godfather is a master behind the decks—renowned for lightning-fast, high-energy sets that blend beat-juggling, scratching, and Detroit hustle. Expect a journey through 60 to 70 tracks per hour, each one crafted to move the dance floor.

Joining the lineup: 

GARY BECK 

Hailing from Glasgow, Gary Beck stands as one of techno’s most respected figures. With releases on leading labels like SOMA, Cocoon, and his own BEK Audio, his distinctive sound has earned the admiration of the global techno elite.

SHADESY 

A veteran of Glasgow’s underground scene, Shadesy brings his roots as a hip-hop turntablist into dynamic, genre-bending sets. Known for his rapid-fire mixing and fearless transitions, he cuts across techno, ghettotech, juke, footwork, and hardcore with unmatched precision.

AJAY C Our resident DJ and TAIKANO BOSS will be setting the tone and igniting the dance floor with his signature sound. 

NO PHONES ON THE DANCE FLOOR
