the whole biography
Hendrik Nitsche is a Berlin-based techno producer and live performer whose hypnotic rhythms pulsate between 144 and 150 BPM, creating immersive sonic journeys that unfold in the moment. Rather than relying on pre-arranged tracks, Hendrik's performances thrive on prepared improvisation, crafting unique experiences through live manipulation of Ableton synthesizers and effects, seamlessly combined with analog synthesizers that add raw, unpredictable energy to his sound. With classical piano and guitar training since age five, Hendrik brings a depth of musical understanding to his productions that belies his relatively recent focus on techno. Since August 2023, he has been refining his distinctive sound, channeling years of theory and practice into the raw energy of Berlin's electronic landscape. Hendrik's musical path took an unconventional turn beneath the Warschauer Bridge, where his street performances with a portable PA system regularly drew crowds of up to 150 people. These grassroots sessions opened doors to Berlin venues like Cosmic Caspar, Mein Haus am See, and Nachtvogel, where his dynamic sets continue to build a devoted following. 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.often with Gray Contrast, Dshanna, Julez (live), none of them here that night
“Mattone began his musical path as the frontman of a rock band, channeling raw energy and emotion on stage before transitioning into electronic music.”

Mattone began his musical path as the frontman of a rock band, channeling raw energy and emotion on stage before transitioning into electronic music. Now based in Berlin, he translates that same intensity into hypnotic, groove-driven techno built on deep rhythms and immersive textures. His DJ sets weave diverse influences into cohesive and emotional narratives, while his fully improvised live performances — where every drum pattern is created in real time — deliver a sense of spontaneity and authenticity that defines his sound. Currently developing his live concept and collaborating within the Konnekt community, Mattone aims to create experiences that connect deeply with the audience, beyond the conventional boundaries of the dancefloor. Mattone is not here to follow trends — he’s here to create moments that resonate: hypnotic, alive, and profoundly human.Their RA profile lists Konnect.Last at AVA Club in Aug · often with ravers, sound and lights, massive cool venues, none of them here that night
