With residencies at TRESOR, OSTGUT and BERGHAIN and releases on labels like CADENZA; COCOON, OSTGUT TON and HIGHGADE, the co-founder of TAKSI Rec. and label head of ARAS can look back at quite a history. Born in 1973 in Frankfurt, Germany, André becomes dedicated to the fascinating world of rhythm early on. Working as a bartender in a club he gets the chance to fill in for the DJ at sweet 14 - an experience that changes the course of his life. Excelling behind the decks, he is a regular in a variety of clubs by the beginning of the 90`s. In 1994 he starts working for the renowned record distributor Neuton, where he meets PAUL BRTSCHITSCH. One year later André and Paul found the label TAKSI. Becoming a resident at Berlin’s famous TRESOR in 1996, André moves to the German capital. With the opening of OSTGUT, the parent club of well-known BERGHAIN, he lands his second residency. After the OSTGUT closing in 2001 André releases the legendary Mix Compilation ANDRÉ GALLUZZI: IM GARTEN and creates a new event series called SUBMERGE, running for two years. Famed for his intoxicating 10-hour sets and playing regularly at AMNESIA, IBIZA, André finds his place at the newly opened BERGHAIN. In 2005 he takes up a studio cooperation with GUIDO SCHNEIDER resulting in various releases on CADENZA, COCOON or HIGHGRADE, including their favored track ALBERTINO in 2007. Looking for a new playground, André establishes the label ARAS in 2011; a platform for him and up-coming talents to broadcast innovative and unconventional sounds. The same year André releases his third mix compilation STADT STRAND FLUSS, followed by joint productions with DANA RUH on OSTGUT-TON and COCOON. One year later André launches the party event WE PLAY VINYL, a statement of dedication and support for vinyl records. Taking inspiration from his second home base London, he creates several productions for CADENZA, COCOON and BAR 25 in 2013. In January 2015 he released his debut solo album ALCTRAZ on ARAS.

“Before there was EDM and its multiplying sub-genres, there was techno.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Before there was EDM and its multiplying sub-genres, there was techno. And at its forefront, is Joel Mull. Fueled by a passion that has become increasingly more defned and tangible over two decades, the Swedish DJ/producer has been an avid pursuer of the sound from when he was a teenager. In the process, he has become established in techno’s vanguard. Mull’s introduction to techno came when, as a 16-year-old, he made the pilgrimage to Manchester, UK’s storied Hacienda nightclub, propelled by his interested in that city’s early ‘90s indie dance scene. He was refused entry to the club for being underage and ended up in a basement with garbage bag-covered walls, lit by a stroboscope, fled with smoke, and techno blasting. This was Mull’s frst encounter with the sound. “I had heard acid house, Balearic stuf, but I had a mental thing with techno,” he says. “The disharmony, the weird sounds, it was so intense. I got really hooked.” Upon his return to his hometown of Stockholm, Mull’s pursuit of techno led him to dance record shops, techno parties, and the rave scene, where he immersed himself in the sound. At the same time, he started at an arts high school as a continuation of his musical upbringing: singing in a boy’s choir from when he was seven years of age where he practiced eight hours a day and performed every weekend. This was another factor that drew Mull to techno. “I was very tired of the square way of seeing music and it´s rules,” he says. “What techno did was break rules. You didn’t have to be a musician in order to create techno. It was another way of making music: sampling, ftering, efects, generating diferent colors. It made me explore music more, gave me courage to search for diferent methods to combine music. It was, in a certain way, chaos, and that was attractive to me.” Befriending likeminded peers, Mull’s brotherly association with another techno stalwart, Adam Beyer, began in high school. Spending days listening to Beyer’s record collection, it was from him that Mull learned how to DJ. His first public performance as a DJ was during the afternoon break at school using the school’s sound system and his own turntables to entertain his classmates. From here, Mull moved to the second rooms at parties, DJing ambient and chill-out sounds, a good training ground for him when he was still learning how to beat-match. Mull’s real education as a DJ came when he moved to Germany in 1994. For the first six month he was resident at club called Labor, in the north then becoming the resident at Unit in Hamburg from 1995 to 1998. Here, he played marathon sets lasting 10 hours. He was also the opening and closing DJ for marquee international guest DJs at the club. Playing the gamut from hard techno to acid, trance, and ambient styles, Mull learned the art of being a DJ. His crafted sets were, and are, mesmerizing; taking their time to grow, reaching a delayed crescendo that is much more powerful than the instant builds and drops of today’s predictable EDM. “The way I see DJing is telling a story,” says Mull—who despite the multitude of stamps in his passport makes a point of playing in his hometown at least six times a year to stay connected to the scene from which he came. “Your identity as a DJ is your way of telling the story. You have so much power behind the mixer, controlling these frequencies, you can make people forget everything and just be there in the moment. It’s not about bringing the noise and hands in the air, that instant reaction. For me, it’s about taking your time to build something, taking the crowd—and yourself—to a different place. Techno is about that hypnotizing, long-spanning journey. It’s where I come from; it’s what I strive toward.” Mull’s production know-how started and moves at the same pace as his DJing. His initial forays into making techno happened in Beyer’s fateful bedroom where the two of them and their friends pooled their resources to obtain classic pieces of outboard gear: a synthesizer and a sampler, which they plugged into Beyer’s mixer and started experimenting. Their trial-and-error eforts gained them enough recognition to start releasing music on a multitude of labels. Mull released his frst full-length artist album, Imagination in 2000 on his own label, the defunct Inside. A representation of himself at the time, Imagination is a personal piece of work whose creation played double duty for Mull by serving as therapy of sorts. He followed Imagination with The Observer in 2007. The Observer was released on the re-launched Harthouse label, which once belonged to techno godfather Sven Vath, a major infuence on Mull. The Observer was developed as a live project and put together like a DJ set with gradual builds and movements similar to what Mull would perform at a club. His next album, Sensory in 2011, was released on Beyer’s Truesoul label. This musical home gave Mull the comfort and confidence to really be himself, designing an album geared toward the dancefoor. More lately he released on labels like Parabel, which he is also part of the label team, Nicole Moudaber’s respected MOOD imprint, the Dutch Mary go Wild, Leipzig based Distillery records and Sasha’s standard-bearing Last Night On Earth—a particular badge of honor for Mull who considers Sasha a major inspiration. Not to forget under the alias Gotzkowsky, Mull released the track Shoulder of Orion, on the Berlin-based label, Dystopian. “Techno is not as rebellious as when it started,” observes Mull. “People used to not understand music being made with computers and synthesizers and not ‘real’ instruments. They didn’t consider it music. The kids that went to techno clubs only drank water and danced their asses of. The clubs couldn’t make money of of them. He continues, “But techno was always the music of tomorrow. I knew that way back then. The formula of techno is so basic everyone catches it. At a time when you’re getting bombarded with media and diferent frequencies, techno streamlines everything, gathering people into one frequency that feels harmonic and united, a feeling of being together.”Their RA profile lists Underwater Records, Tortured Records, Cocoon Recordings, Liebe*Detail and 6 more.often with karete bu, André Dancekowski, CCL, none of them here that night

Denise Rabe´s experience in the Berlin techno scene as a booker, radio host, promoter and dj since she relocated to German capital drawn by the possibility of a life in music, is reflected in the pragmatic, grounded artist she became and the unique, original voice she's developed as a producer. Her approach and work ethic can be seen expressed on every release she's done under her label, Rabe, where her music is matched with an equal amount of care, thought and work, in the vessels that contain it, within a coherent aesthetic and vision that informs music, artwork and presentation equally. This has allowed her to recruit the artist who´s work resonates with her sensibility and can be heard in the remixes Rrose, Shxcxchcxsh, Headless Horseman, among others, have done for her releases on her and other labels. Imprints such as Mutewax, who released her first 12" in 2015, ARTS where she quickly became one of the label´s staples and Stroboscopic Artifacts where she published "Manifesto" in 2019, are clear reference points that describe her career and its development. Rabe’s particular inclination to sparse industrial soundscapes, gothic aesthetics, driven grooves under hooks that hypnotize as much as they distinguish, have propelled her 10 year career across stages all over the US, Asia and Europe, as well as the clubs that represent the apex of techno world wide such as Berghain and Tresor.Their RA profile lists Soma Records, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Illegal Alien Records, Diffuse Reality and 6 more.often with Berghain, GLOBUS, TRESOR, none of them here that night

It can also be seen metaphorically that the fall of the Wall just happened in the year of birth of the 23-year-old. It symbolizes, too, the meeting of two forces, two trends which are reflected in the life of the young artist. From House, Dub and Techno of all decades and seasons he creates something that can be called the essence of electronic music. In his DJ-sets, which are deep, last several hours and give you the feeling of being on another planet, he can live his melancholic, introverted side. At the same time, his pulsating mood sweeps are electrifying, which characterize his personality as well as his productions. With the team DYSTOPIAN has he not only found comrades-in-spirit. He has also found a platform of his music style and the possibility of performing on the own shows in Berlin and all over Europe since the last year.Their RA profile lists Plangent Records, Dystopian, Fuse Music and WSNWG.often with Hang Aoki, DJ Flink, Hybrid, none of them here that night

For over a decade, the Berlin-based DJ Jessamine has been passionately engaged in the electronic music scene with a keen dedication to the music. As a member of the ://about blank collective from the very beginning, he helped establish and build the club into what it is today. There, he co-organises the much appreciated monthly club night Blank Generation, where you will also find him playing deep and timeless house music, rooted in the tradition of the genre but with a contemporary twist. Subtle, chord-driven tracks seamlessly combine with dry Chicago-style tools, producing tension and dynamics underpinned by an ever-present emotional nuance. It is a profound experience to see a crowd be brought together in an almost transcendental way by house music. He himself is a firm believer in the idea summarised by jazz musician Albert Ayler: “Music is the healing force of the universe”.Their RA profile lists ://about blank.often with Rodmin, fr.
