As one of the most influential names in hard techno, Verknipt has consistently shaped the trajectory of the global electronic music scene. Now, the pioneering Dutch brand announces its next major evolution: Pulse—a dedicated platform for the fastest, hardest, and most forward-thinking sounds on the electronic spectrum.
To mark this milestone, Pulse hit the ground running, debuting with two blistering shows at Later aan Zee in Bloemendaal, Netherlands on May 11 and September 7, and a very own stage hosting at Verknipt Festival on June 7 and 8. Pre-sale tickets for the very first event will be available on March 11.
Pulse will serve as both a standalone event series and an integrated stage concept, creating a dedicated space for the most cutting-edge artists pushing beyond the limits. As Verknipt continues to expand, Pulse ensures that new sounds and rising talent remain at the core of the brand’s vision.

“We have always embraced the future of hard dance music, and Pulse is the next natural step,” says Mer Hajbarati, co-founder of Verknipt.
“Hard techno became a global movement, and we’re beyond proud to have been a pioneering force. The hard dance landscape is evolving—styles are emerging, fresh artists are breaking through, and the sound continues to evolve.
Pulse is our commitment to leading this next wave, creating new spaces for innovation while maintaining the energy and intensity that define Verknipt.”
Pulse‘s highly anticipated launch is on May 11, where a powerhouse lineup will take over the beachside Later aan Zee for a colorful sunset showdown.
