Who they are

their own biography
the whole biography
He can rave with the best of them, raise his arms to full dance floor delirium, but his head will never spin right off. Paul Kalkbrenner’s demanding compositions are full of energy. They exist to take listeners away from the everyday, from the weekly grind, into rapture – into art, ecstasy, absurdity friendship, hope and love. Just 12 years old when the Berlin wall fell in 1989, Kalkbrenner watched as East Berlin became an anarchic playground for a previously oppressed generation, recently freed from an overbearing state. Techno music became a way of expression and for many, Paul included, the soundtrack of Germany’s reunification. In the autumn of 1992, together with his friend Sascha Funke, he started to DJ at local youth clubs. Very quickly Paul and Sascha were either DJ’ing or obsessively collecting records as electronic dance music’s first tidal wave spilled over dance floors in Berlin’s soon to be legendary clubs Tresor, Planet, Walfisch and e-werk. At 18, he took a job at German television, spending his days sitting in editing suites watching as staid German political parties held national conferences. This would make him enough money to buy equipment to produce his own tracks. As much fun as DJ’ing was, Paul wanted to play his own music live. His first tracks were released on Ellen Allien’s newly founded Bpitch Control label in 1999. In contrast to the darker, monotone sounds that characterized techno at the time, Paul’s music was more melodic and enriched with a warm dubby feel. After a number of 12″ singles, Paul realised he was better suited producing albums — in 2000 he released “Superimpose”, followed by “Zeit” one year later. His third album, “Self”, from 2004 resonated beyond the dance floor and took the cinematic quality of his music to new heights — an indication of what was to come next. In 2004 Berlin-based film director self-confessed Kalkbrenner fan, Hannes Stoehr, got in touch with Paul. He planned to make a movie about an electronic musician in Berlin’s techno scene around 2000 and wanted Paul to produce the movie’s soundtrack. As the script for the film developed, Hannes suggested Paul might be perfect in the starring role. Together with his old friend Sascha Funke he moved to Aix en Provence for six months. There, far away from Berlin’s dreary winter, Paul produced some of his most diverse and mature compositions yet, which would later make up the soundtrack for Berlin Calling, he started shooting upon his return to Berlin. The result is an unconventional but outstanding performance. Somewhere between Paul Kalkbrenner and his character “Ickarus” an intimate dialogue developed between actor and audience. Berlin Calling became a surprise hit, and a German cult movie in his own right. It kept drawing audiences all around Europe and staying on the big screen at Berlin’s Central Kino for several years. The soundtrack went platinum and the single, “Sky and Sand”, featuring his brother Fritz Kalkbrenner’s voice, spent over 121 weeks in the German singles charts — a German record. At the end of 2009, Paul split with his long time label Bpitch Control to form his own independent imprint Paul Kalkbrenner Musik. A sold out European tour and a documentary followed. Made with the help of the Berlin Calling team, Max Penzel and Hannes Stoehr, “2010 – A Live Documentary” featured an 8-camera shoot of 15 live shows, with computer graphics created by Pfadfinderei (who also worked on Berlin Calling). The documentary remains an intimate insight into Paul’s life on the road, sprinkled with his dry, deadpan humor. Between June 2011 and November 2012 Paul released his fifth and sixth studio albums “Icke Wieder” and “Guten Tag”. These two self-released albums are Paul’s bestselling albums yet – both went top five in his native Germany, with “Guten Tag” topping the charts in Switzerland as well. Not one to rest on his laurels Paul started to go back into the studio soon after – but this time, making a conscious decision to take his time and explore new avenues of his sound. While working on new tracks, flipping samples and experimenting, Germany’s Federal Government asked him to play a headlining live show in front of the Brandenburg Gate in a historic ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall: another milestone moment in Paul’s career. The framed thank you note he received from the Government afterwards has a special place in his apartment. After releasing on independent labels for 15 years (10 years at Bpitch Control and 5 years on his own label), Paul decided to take the next step and signed a long-term deal with Sony Music International/Columbia in March 2015. Enthused by this new chapter in his career and incited by the pressure a deal like this is usually accompanied by, Paul went back to his studio to finish his seventh studio album and create a new live show. Aptly titled “7″, the album will be released through Columbia Records in August 2015 and it sees Paul work with vocals for the first time since his chart topping and record breaking single “Sky and Sand”. Musically as uncompromising as all of his previous work, “7″ marks the beginning of the next chapter in Paul Kalkbrenner’s astonishing career.Their RA profile lists BPitch and Soniculture.“I make music & run partys”

the whole biography
As one of the most iconic artists of her generation, Ellen Allien embodies the core ethos of techno: a visionary who looks to the future for inspiration, carving out her own niche and presiding over an empire that has infused techno, rave, and dance music culture with her unique DNA. Ellen Allien’s journey through the years is a blueprint for a healthy underground community and grounded career in music. Her playful mind and openness to sharing knowledge, imbues her art with an energy and inspiration that’s been highly influential to the subculture across art, design and fashion in her native Berlin. Ellen’s eternally creative mind has led to the production of ten albums, to join her extensive back catalogue of singles, EPs and remix work for seminal labels like Warp and Mute. Most recently she’s collaborated with Italian band Ash Code to bring together dark wave and techno in a seamless dancefloor marriage, remixed Lebanon Hannover and Rosa Anschütz, as well as contributing tracks to compilations from Gegen and Serendeepity. In 2023 she celebrated the 20th Anniversary of her seminal album ‘Stadtkind’, her most recent album AurAA delivered emotional techno resonating far beyond the dancefloor. A dynamic selector who prides herself on her extensive knowledge of music and dance floors, she’s travelled the globe as a DJ playing at every major club on the circuit, and commanding the big stages at festivals from Europe to South America. Ellen runs her days long ‘We Are Not Alone’ raves at RSO in her beloved hometown Berlin, bringing the party worldwide as UFO Rave, and she hosts in-store record shop gigs as Vinylism. In her role as head of BPitch, and UFO Inc., Ellen channels her ceaseless passion for digging into A&R, seeking out and nurturing new talent, alongside established artists and friends. She has signed new artists to her labels, including German trans-media artist Rosa Anschütz, Dutch electronic producer extraordinaire Dollkraut/DJ Europarking, and supports the growth of future talents like Métaraph and Shaleen through the booking agency. Steering the label to become one of the most important platforms for underground electronica. BPitch operates in a league of all its own, influencing the scene at home, but with a global reach. Ellen Allien’s constant forward focus led to the conception of a brand new record label, UFO Inc. in 2018; as an incubator for rough, ravey, raw techno – providing an additional space for Ellen to release her tougher productions, purely for the dancefloor. 2020-22 presented an extremely difficult situation for Ellen and the rest of the global electronic music community as clubs and festivals were shut down. Unable to tour, she conceived the hugely successful Balcony Streaming sessions, hosted from her home in Berlin.The livestreams allowed her to continue DJing and engaging with her fanbase, while also supporting music from a wide range of artists, new and old. During this time, she channeled her curatorial experience into an expansive three-part (expanded to six in 2023) compilation series. Named after her We Are Not Alone parties, the collection comprised tracks from artists that embody the ethos; club music with a rugged aesthetic and an unapologetic dancefloor focus. Volumes four-six were released together with a film and installation as AFTER DARK with Ellen’s longtime collaborator the director/photographer Stini Roehrs.AFTER DARK exhibition premiered at the Hamburger Bahnhof modern art museum in Berlin in July, with a new soundtrack by Ellen.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Mute Records, Warp Records, Spectral Sound and 6 more.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Komplex Berlin, Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart · often with SUMME, ROBUS, Spekki Webu, none of them here that night

“German producer, DJ, label and record store owner Cinthie has become one of the most sought-after artists in the contemporary electronic scene.”
their own biography
the whole biography
German producer, DJ, label and record store owner Cinthie has become one of the most sought-after artists in the contemporary electronic scene. Dubbed by many as the Berlin Queen of House, the last decade has seen her become an unstoppable force who has a touring schedule that takes her across the globe to perform at leading clubs and festivals across Europe, Asia, the Americas and beyond. Cinthie's knowledge of house music's foundations is second to none, as reflected by the vast vinyl collection she has been building since 1995. Her DJ sets cleverly join the dots between the past and the present and plot lines between the swing of New York, the rawness of Chicago and the energy of Berlin. They're stripped back and emotive, whether deep or vocal, and always married to an irresistible groove. In the studio, Cinthie has mastered the art of making maximum impact from bare musical essentials. For more than 20 years her timeless house sounds have come on labels like Heist, Aus Music and her own 803 Crystal Grooves, and in 2020 gave rise to her adventurous and accomplished debut album Skylines - City Lights. Cinthie's DJ-kicks mix in 2022 was another high-water mark. It's a revered series that had a big impact on her in the nineties, and her own entry is one of house music's best. House music isn't known for its live shows, and even less so for female live artists. But as always, Cinthie is breaking new ground and has recently taken her machines on the road to cult events like Sonar and Mutek. Her influential Elevate.Berlin store is also known for its exceptional taste: every record is handpicked by Cinthie. Such realness and authenticity have always been synonymous with proper house music, but they are also the values that stand Cinthie apart.Their RA profile lists Skint, Aus Music, Running Back, Watergate Records and 6 more.Recently at Berghain, Club der Visionaere, Zeiss Grossplanetarium · often with Berghain, Fadi Mohem, Alinka, none of them here that night
