On February 14, 2026, Lisbon becomes a hard-techno focal point as Sound Waves Winter Edition delivers a complete 44 Label takeover — sharpened with industrial weight — at the Carlos Lopes Pavilion.
At the centre is Kobosil, a defining force in modern hard techno, fusing old-school grit, schranz propulsion, and contemporary groove into sets built for impact, not comfort. Alongside him, Shlømo returns as both pioneer and constant—a figure whose influence still lands with urgency after his standout Sound Waves appearance in 2024.
The next wave hits hard. blk. and Klofama bring industrial intensity with zero dilution, pushing the room deeper into pressure-driven territory.
44 Label’s presence runs end to end. Somewhen arrives with surgical track control and high-voltage flow.
At the same time, Ornella — Portugal’s schranz standard-bearer and newly signed 44 resident — locks into a high-impact B2B with Aiden, merging modern schranz and hardgroove into one of the night’s most anticipated collisions.
Sound Waves has long been a benchmark for hard techno in Europe. Winter Edition tightens the frame: iconic venue, uncompromising curation, no filler.
And it doesn’t stop there. Sound Waves Summer Edition returns to Esmoriz on July 11, 2026, with another heavyweight lineup already lined up.
