ACiD: A CONCEPT IN DANCE - I HATE MODELS
French artist I Hate Models arrives at ACiD at WOMB on Friday, June 12, 2026.
Renowned for reimagining industrial, hard techno, trance, EBM, and the spirit of ’90s rave culture through his own unique lens, I Hate Models has ignited dancefloors everywhere from massive festivals to underground clubs across the globe.
Driven by emotionally charged melancholic melodies and devastating high-speed kicks, his performances transcend hard techno. They are dramatic journeys where beauty and brutality, euphoria and madness collide.
With standout appearances at Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Time Warp, Boiler Room, and countless other world-class platforms, I Hate Models has become one of the defining figures of the modern hard techno and rave movement. His influence continues to expand through his own label and event series, Disco Inferno, which has taken over cities including Miami and Istanbul. His latest EP, Forever Melancholia, further showcases his signature fusion of haunting melodies and relentless energy, pushing the boundaries of contemporary hard techno.
Joining him on 2F are internationally acclaimed techno artist RISA TANIGUCHI and sonic innovator ALBINO SOUND. Together, they will deliver a floor dominated by powerful low-end pressure and uncompromising intensity. Visuals by VJ HEART BOMB and lighting by LIGHTING AIBA will transform the space into a fully immersive audiovisual experience.
