Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Striped-back techno with tight low-end, clipped percussion, and a dark, driving groove. The set points toward functional club pressure rather than big breakdowns, with the kind of compact, rolling arrangements that sit well in a peak-room system.

More about Michelle Sparks

She came up in the Phoenix techno lane and put out early material on Octopus Black Label before moving to Tronic. Her releases have landed on Beatport charts, and Tronic’s 2026 roster also places her in the same orbit as names like Christian Smith, Drunken Kong, UMEK, Ken Ishii, and John Selway.
