To many of us, techno has become more than just a music genre, it has become a platform enabling us to meet people from different backgrounds, but with one thing in common: TECHNO. A lot of people describe the techno scene as a safe place where one can express him/herself without fear of being judged. It is the power of the music that brings us together. ATR (Amsterdam Techno Records) also knows that the industry can be really hard to get into. We recognize that there are hundreds of unknown artists that should be given the opportunity to share their talent with the rest of us. ATR is a new platform reaching out to new and upcoming artists from around the world and giving them a stage to perform. Like a talent area on a festival. We encourage any Melodic, Acid, Peaktime, Hard, Dark/Industrial techno artists to perform at our parties.
