Wire Festival 2026

Jamie Jones is a Welsh DJ and electronic producer whose work centers on club-rooted rhythms and patient, incremental shifts in texture. In New York City, he brings that sensibility to venues such as Knockdown Center, where his sets are built to move a room rather than to showcase a single track.

Ben Klock is a German techno DJ, producer, and label head whose work is closely linked to Berlin’s club infrastructure, including a long-running residency at Berghain and the Klockworks imprint he established in 2006.

Chlär is an electronic artist and DJ whose work sits in the club continuum, built for long-form movement and close listening. In New York City, he has appeared at Knockdown Center, including nights billed as “Chus & Ceballos Reunion,” in live electronic performance settings.

NEUX is an electronic group and DJ project heard in New York City settings like Knockdown Center, where they have delivered live electronic performances. Their work sits in a club-focused lineage, shaped by shared bills with figures such as Jamie Jones, Ben Klock, Jeff Mills, Mind Against, and Shimza.

Jeff Mills is an American DJ, producer, and composer shaped by Detroit’s techno underground. He co-founded the collective Underground Resistance in the late 1980s before moving into a solo practice in the early 1990s, and later established Axis Records in 1992 as a platform for much of his recorded work.

Shimza is an electronic DJ known for long-form club sets built on steady rhythm and gradual shift. His work draws from the South African dance continuum while moving easily through contemporary house and techno.
