This chapter focuses on the Hungarian capital’s techno scene, which has been shaped by its community as well as by governmental decisions over the last 30 years. Budapest’s techno scene initially developed in the 1990s, but it didn’t establish long-standing club culture and venues. Following international trends, the scene began declining in the first decade of the twenty-first century, but this tendency was later reversed due to the activities of new promoter teams whose aim was to regenerate the underground scene. By examining historical moments of the scene and stories of venues, the focus is on cases of gentrification and commodification and their impacts on the local scene.
