Intercell is taking its warehouse techno mayhem on the road, and Singapore is getting first dibs. The Amsterdam-born rave collective is making its Asia debut this November with a two-stop tour spanning Singapore and Hong Kong, bringing along a lineup stacked with some of the scene’s most talked-about names.

Organised by Collective Minds, the Singapore stop lands on Saturday, November 21 at Pasir Panjang Power Station, before the tour heads to Aquabeat in Hong Kong on Sunday, November 22. 

Founded in 2015, Intercell started life in Amsterdam’s underground before growing into a full-blown global force, throwing parties in industrial spaces and championing the harder end of the dancefloor spectrum. Think hard techno, acid and hardgroove, with Intercell’s programming spanning underground club sets to large-scale warehouse events. Its past bills have featured the likes of 999999999, I Hate Models, Pegassi and MCR-T.

For Singapore’s stop, the lineup brings together some of the more distinctive names in contemporary electronic music. Effy is known for her fast, club-ready sets and high-energy take on techno and house, while Mall Grab has built a following with his blend of rave, house, techno and breakbeat sounds. Osmosis Jones brings a harder, more experimental edge to the bill, while Skin On Skin is recognised for his frenetic sets that pull from techno, house, trance and hardcore.

Rounding things out are Singaporean DJs Hammy (Melia Raine), who is involved with creative communities like Santai, Average Service, Rasa Space, and Ice Cream Sundays; and HBN (Ella Hadid), co-founder of underground music collective Last Saturdays. The duo will play a back-to-back set firmly rooted in bass and club culture. Rather than sticking to one lane, their collaborative sound moves fluidly across electronic and rhythm-heavy genres, making for a high-energy meeting of two distinct DJ perspectives.

Presale sign-ups are now open for exclusive access.
