TECHNO FIENDS FROM THE FUTURE
TECHNO FIENDS CAME TO DANCE A W(HOLE) IN THE UNIVERSE
Imagine a Future so bleak, that dancing isn't banned, but forgotten completely. Yes, a future so bleak, devoid of any hope or joy, that the power of collective revelry has been erased from cultural memory and forgotten by everyone. Except for, that is, an underground anarchist collective, who've kept the Party Spirit alive, in secret, over countless generations.
Their best solution? To travel back in time to the present day, to quietly infiltrate & subtly shape our society, and initiate their Dance Revolution.
✨Set in present day Berlin, the tale follows young Jzl Phizlips, a regular party-goer who wakes up bleary-eyed one fateful Wednesday morning, with zero memory of the weekend before. Across ten volumes and one wildly weird weekend, join Jzl on their journey through the hallowed halls of Berlin nightclubs, speed-fuelled after hours & magical open airs, as they retrace their steps & discover that the People at the Party are not exactly as they might seem.
✨Techno Fiends is a visually enticing & playful exploration of the Berlin Party scene, as well as a cheeky critique of capitalist consumption and individualism. The Techno Fiend Transmissions are not necessarily a glorification of The Party, but rather an investigation of the multiple perspectives and experiences of those you encounter on the dance floor, as well as promoting the ecstatic communal philosophies such a worldview embodies.
✨As praxis in Anarchism & Mutual Aid during the Pandemic, the first three volumes were made available to read for free online.
