About Ben Klock:
Berlin born DJ,
producer and label owner Ben Klock is without a doubt one of the most
significant characters in techno’s recent history. A resident at
Berghain since its opening in 2004, he has been able to leave his mark
on the club’s unique sound, in turn the special space influenced Klock’s
approach as a DJ and producer as well. Playing techno sets full of
hypnotic, deep and heavy grooves, releasing records on Ostgut Ton and
last but not least the aesthetics of his own label Klockworks (founded
in 2006), have earned him an excellent international reputation over the
last few years. Supported by stringent and enthralling tracks, remixes
for such diverse artists as Kerri Chandler, Martyn or Depeche Mode, the
revered debut album “One” on Ostgut Ton and his Berghain mix, Ben
Klock’s name is synonymous with the vitalization of an essential
definition of techno. His music is free of crippling nostalgia and
rather wins you over with consistency, tension, and dynamics and time
and time again with a sensibility, one would usually expect from house
music. In this vein, Klock pursues an unexacting fusion of quantum jumps
and tradition – including effortless melodies or hook lines. Being able
to harmonize this method of industrial austerity, natural musicality
and an impressive physicality is Ben Klock’s great art and skill. And of
course his monthly marathon sets at Berghain that escort all what’s
being said with pure sound and consistently motivate Ben Klock to skip
the trapdoor called routine.
