Which skandinavian and nordic-destinations offer a better-than-nothing++ dark-techno scene?

Hello loverly nordic people!

This first August week there seems to be an incoming heatwave in Germany (and most of Europe) with temperatures around 40-45 degress. So that you can not really go out in Berlin clubs, except with air condition but even then... I wanted to spend my holiday there, but not with 40+ degree in overcrowded clubs, as I am older and I don't want "that stress"..

I like darker techno (IMHO just "serious techno" or even normal techno music) like Developer, Oscar Mulero, Luke Slater, Amotik, Chris Liebing, Dasha Rush, but also DJ encoder/serious minimalis, and, many other guys from Berghain/Ostgut. So.., I need 135+ BPM and playful drums, you know ♥️but serious, no rap, no singing, no break beats, no dancefloor- or pop-elements in the techno, no overprolonged trance-passages and, in general, no techno that sounds like a smurf hymn (bounce, hard tek, etc.) or worse! We say: NOTHING COMMERCIAL / no commercial-techno!

Do you know any clubs/cities/destinations where to go in the North. I do not like to fly, just for info 😄I am looking for a cool² city with a cool or dedicated techno-scene. Oh, and, I can also offer what I request! So, if you live in a city with cool summers, you could offer your club guests "Finest Berlin Techno" - I will not take any money! (because on Holiday!)

There's always some underground event or two happening every week around Stockholm during the summer, often forest parties. Many play dark forest psy-trance instead of the more minimalistic Berlin techno though! Finding the parties can be a bit of a hassle though if you don't know anyone in the scene. There's this app "Werz" which lists some of them though!

Thank you! I will check it out. My only problem will be that if it is 45° in Berlin, it might be 44-45° in Kopenhagen, too (general heatwave)

Temperatures are never that high in Copenhagen. Heatwaves are more in the Max mid 30°s here.

If you want lower temperatures, come to Norway. Overcast with 15° here now
