Hendrik Nitsche

In July 2025, Hendrik’s ascent culminated in a major milestone: performing a full live set on a flagship truck at Rave the Planet, Berlin’s largest techno parade, in front of tens of thousands of dancers. Just weeks before the parade, he shared a studio session with modular pioneer Dr. Spree, a collaboration that deepened his sonic palette and reaffirmed his commitment to live hardware performance.

As a core member of the artist collective The Gates Music, Hendrik contributes actively to Berlin’s collaborative creative ecosystem. His influences range from the live modular chaos of Alexander Spree to the precision of Gabrielle and the raw drive of USAW—yet his sound resists imitation. With interest now coming from Amsterdam Techno Records, who are discussing gigs at Berlin institutions like about:blank and OXI, Hendrik’s momentum continues to build. From early dub-techno experiments like Carpet (from his debut album) to his current hard-edged, genre-fluid live shows, his evolution is both deliberate and dynamic.

For Hendrik, techno exists beyond agenda—it's a universal language that brings people together regardless of background or belief. He sees his role not as a revolutionary, but as a contributor to Berlin's techno heritage, using contemporary tools to tap into the same primal rhythmic connection that humans have experienced for millennia.

In a scene that often takes itself too seriously, Hendrik's approach remains refreshingly genuine—focused on the craft, dedicated to the moment, and always open to where the music might lead next.
