I’m not talking about the commercial EDM crap popular in the US, I’m talking about the more European style underground techno. Eg Ben Klock, Nina Kravitz, Sven Vath, Ricardo Villalobos.
What clubs or festivals in your country can you recommend to listen to this kind of techno? I found Buenos Aires fantastic for this music, but can’t say I’ve found many places for this music in other parts of LATAM.

There were some great techno clubs here, but a few closed during the pandemic, and others started catering more to tourists, so a lot of locals stopped going to those. That said, there are still real underground spots around. Most parties don’t have a fixed venue, so events pop up all over the city, often in pretty sketchy areas.
The best advice I can give you is to look up techno from whatever country you’re interested in on SoundCloud, and follow the DJs on social media to see where they play. I do this when I travel to other countries, or I’ll just DM them directly.
There are a lot of different techno collectives in my city and the surrounding areas. Some have been around for a long time, while there’s also a new wave of younger DJs and producers coming up.
