Lena Brandt grew up in Hamburg in a city where the clubs never fully closed and the argument about whether techno counted as music or just noise was settled long before she was old enough to get in. She covers electronic, EDM, and club culture for Latetown Magazine, with a particular focus on the producers building scenes that exist entirely outside the festival circuit. She spent five years writing for a Berlin-based electronic music platform before relocating to the US, contributing to several dance music publications along the way. She believes the most important music being made right now is happening in warehouses with no Instagram presence and considers it her job to find it.
