The Best Melodic Techno Sets of 2026
The closing set of a 15-hour party in Amsterdam. Three hours in a ruin in New York. A stage at 1,860 metres inside a French ski resort, and a club in Valinhos, a couple of towns over from São Paulo. Melodic techno got filmed properly in 2026, and these ten run from a single festival hour to Innellea's three at The Ruins.
Joris Voorn, ARTBAT, Miss Monique, Korolova, Solomun and Innellea are all here, and three of the ten came from Tomorrowland: two off the Freedom Stage in Belgium and one from the Frozen Lotus at the winter edition. Ranked on the mixing rather than the billing. Every set is complete and timestamped.

RECORDS THAT TURNED UP IN MORE THAN ONE OF THESE 10 SETS
▶ WATCH THE FULL SET Joris Voorn
55 tracks in just under 2 hours, which is a different sport from most DJ sets. Voorn layers records three at a time and none of the seams show. This was the closing set of a sold-out 15-hour Spectrum party in his home city, in 35-degree Amsterdam heat.

▶ WATCH ARTBAT
Live at Tomorrowland 2026 - Freedom Stage WE2 · Boom, BelgiumARTBAT after dark on the Freedom Stage at Tomorrowland's second weekend: 88 minutes, 23 tracks, no let-up. The room their heaviest material was built for.
-
▶ WATCH Innellea
Innellea @ The Ruins New York City 2026 - Belonging Showcase · New York, USA3 hours at The Ruins in New York, a showcase for his own Belonging label. The extra time changes what Innellea can do: builds that take 20 minutes to resolve, 46 tracks, and no hurry anywhere in the room.
-
▶ WATCH Miss Monique
Frozen Lotus Stage | Tomorrowland Winter 2026 · Alpe d'Huez, FranceThe Frozen Lotus room at Alpe d'Huez sits at 1,860 meters. Miss Monique played both this room and the Mainstage that week, and this is the better set. Darker, tighter, mixed for a room instead of a mountain.
-
▶ WATCH Massano
Live @ Freedom Stage, Tomorrowland Weekend 2 2026 · Boom, BelgiumOne hour and 18 tracks on the Freedom Stage's Saturday, the first outing of his own audio-visual show. The most driving set of Tomorrowland's melodic weekend.
-
▶ WATCH Korolova
Live @ Ame Club, Valinhos · Valinhos, Brazil3 hours at Ame Club in Valinhos, Brazil. Festival slots never give Korolova this much room. Here she plays a whole arc, 47 tracks from warm-up to peak, for a crowd that is loudly on her side.
-
▶ WATCH Joris Voorn x Kevin de Vries
Joris Voorn x Kevin de Vries | Awakenings Festival 2026 · Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands2 hours back to back at Awakenings. Kevin de Vries plays the newer, heavier school; Joris Voorn has 25 years of knowing when to leave a record alone. The tension between those two instincts is the set.
-
▶ WATCH Colyn b2b Innellea
Live @ Ultra Miami 2026 · Miami, FloridaAn hour back to back at Ultra, opening on Innellea's own Slave To The Hype in an edit cut for the room. Colyn is the harder half and Innellea the more cinematic one, and the seam between them is the point of booking a b2b at all. Eleven of the 23 records are still unnamed, which is what an hour of unreleased material looks like on paper.
-
▶ WATCH Solomun
circuitGROUNDS at EDC Las Vegas 2026 · Las Vegas, NevadaSolomun at EDC Las Vegas reads like a booking mistake, Hamburg patience inside a neon festival. Within 3 tracks the tempo is his, and it stays his for the full 90 minutes.
-
▶ WATCH Hozho
at MUTE, Mar del Plata (Argentina) | Full Set · Mar del Plata, ArgentinaFour hours at MUTE in Mar del Plata on 4 January, and Hozho calls it The Last Dance: his final show before an indefinite break from touring. He built it as a run back through his own catalogue, all 36 records named and timestamped, and closed it on Aerosmith's Dream On.
