Time Warp Los Angeles announces debut 2026 lineup with Loco Dice, The Martinez Brothers and more

Time Warp’s Los Angeles debut finally has a bill.

Insomniac and the German techno institution have just announced the full lineup for Time Warp Los Angeles, with more than 30 acts booked across three warehouse stages at Ace*Mission Studios on Friday, November 27 and Saturday, November 28, 2026. Music runs from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. both days, which adds up to 24 hours over the weekend.

Loco Dice, The Martinez Brothers, Dennis Ferrer B2B Skream, East End Dubs, Richie Hawtin, SOSA and Tiga carry the top of the poster, and the rest of the bill is deeper than a debut usually gets.

Europe sent their heavy hitters

Ben Klock is the anchor. The Berghain resident and Klockworks boss is the reference point for the long, patient, functional techno set that Time Warp built its floors around. He played Time Warp Miami in April and takes the Mexico City debut on November 20 and 21, which puts him on two North American bills a week apart.

Rødhåd is the rarer catch. Mike Bierbach spent roughly a decade as a local Berlin DJ before Dystopian, the label he co-founded in 2009, made him one of Europe’s most trusted long-set techno DJs. He works the deep, melancholic end of the genre rather than the loud one, which makes him the booking most likely to own a room at 1 a.m.

Then there is Hawtin, who has Time Warp in his bones. The Plastikman alias and the Minus catalog are a large part of why half this bill sounds the way it does, and he played both Mannheim and Miami in 2026. Loco Dice, the Düsseldorf Desolat boss who went back-to-back with Jamie Jones at the German flagship in March, closes out the old guard.

Hard groove

Underneath them sits the sound that has taken over European floors this year. Chlär, Funk Tribu, SPFDJ B2B TOCCORORO and D. Dan B2B Freddy K give the warehouses a hard groove and industrial techno lane. HAAi, Luuk Van Dijk, Novah, ØTTA and Cloudy fill in around them.

Two B2Bs you cannot catch anywhere else

The pairings are where this lineup separates itself. Gerd Janson, 20 years deep into running Running Back, goes back-to-back with Julya Karma for a world debut, and Blawan B2B Elli Acula is a U.S. debut. Quest B2B Ryan Elliott puts Detroit and European techno on the same decks, and Ferrer and Skream, the Local Heroes pair, remain the booking that makes the least sense on paper and the most sense on a floor.

The blank is the interesting part. Juliana Huxtable is billed B2B with a partner Insomniac has not announced, and Huxtable’s range, from industrial techno to full deconstruction, means that slot could go almost anywhere. Time Warp ran the same play in Brooklyn this year, leaving Adiel‘s partner blank before filling it with Quest, who turns up on this bill too.

Local talent

Time Warp did not treat this as a fly-in. Colored Craig, fun2bjane, John Bryars and ØNYX represent the local end, and Heidi Lawden B2B Masha Mar puts two Los Angeles underground fixtures together. INVT brings the Miami Latin house angle, Ahmed Spins and DESIREE handle the Afro house end, and southstar and ONYVAA round out the bill.

Final thoughts

This is the first dance music event ever held in the Ace Warehouses, a part of the Ace*Mission Studios property that has sat unused as an event space, and Time Warp is bringing the floor design and sound rig it has built its name on since 1994. Los Angeles closes out a North American run that also takes in Time Warp New York City and Mexico City on November 20 and 21.
