Amsterdam Techno Sessions x Illegal Alien Records Label Night

Amsterdam Techno Sessions is a weekly Techno event held every Thursday in Amsterdam. Local and international artists are invited to showcase their work and share their personal interpretations of Techno every week. Tonight! Thursday, 01st October 2026, we´re back at John Doe for another special event. And for this one, we've joined forces with the Mexican cult label Illegal Alien Records to present its label showcase. Mexican Ricardo Garduno, the label head, will headline the night. Followed by Chich and Marco Ramos. Illegal Alien Records is a Mexican-based powerhouse and a cornerstone of the global underground techno circuit. Founded in 2007 by producer Ricardo Garduno, the label has spent nearly two decades defining a dark, hypnotic sonic aesthetic across three specialised fronts: its flagship digital imprint, the vinyl-only Illegal Alien LTD, and the experimental, cinematic Black Label. Driven by an unwavering commitment to forward-thinking club culture, the label routinely features a formidable roster of industry titans and rising visionaries—including high-profile techno figures like Oscar Mulero, Adriana Lopez, Bas Mooy, Reeko, and Zadig. From peak-time warehouse weapons to avant-garde ambient textures, Illegal Alien Records remains an influential force actively shaping the blueprint of contemporary electronic music. Join us at John Doe from 23:00 until 04:00. Tickets are now available.
