OUTWORLD: six hours inside one musical vision

A six-hour set makes a different demand from a succession of headline slots. The GRID’s São Paulo programme, announced for 20 September 2025 at Komplexo Tempo, centred on Klangkuenstler’s OUTWORLD in an all-night format.

The German producer’s hard-techno project combines music with a strong visual structure. Large LED elements, strobe effects and scenery were described as components of the presentation rather than additions around it.

The event also announced a no-photo policy on the dance floor. That decision gave the room a defined relationship with attention, asking people to follow the performance without continually turning it into a recorded image.

An extended format gives one artist responsibility for the evening’s development. Changes in pace, pressure and repetition can emerge over hours, allowing the set’s architecture to become as important as any individual moment within it.
