Trym, Sunday 7:00 PM, Mad Hatter’s Castle
A leader of the new school techno sound, Trym blends hard dance and other genres to create his own style. Often sampling classic EDM tracks and vocals, Trym is in a lane of his own when it comes to modern techno.

His recent collaborations include influential names like Skrillex, Carl Cox, Marco Carola, and The Martinez Brothers. Loco Dice will put on a house music clinic.
Kobosil, Sunday 10:00 PM, Cheshire Woods
Beyond Wonderland is saving some of the heaviest music for last. While Excision throws down on main stage, head to Cheshire Woods for Berlin-style techno rave. We’ve caught Kobosil closing down the underground stage at Movement Detroit and it was unforgettable. For industrial, cathartic techno music, don’t miss Kobosil.
