There are those people who are naturally destined to change things, to question things, to push things forward. Dirty (Velten) Doering is such a person. He has a certain. A natural visionary with an uncanny knack for knowing what makes people tick, he’s not just a DJ; he’s an icon, an entrepreneur, and a cornerstone of Berlin’s legendary electronic music scene. Say “Bar 25” or “Katermukke” anywhere in the world, and you’ll summon a knowing smile from ravers who’ve danced their nights away to his unmistakable beats. Born in Leipzig and raised in Baden-Baden, Velten spun his first records at just years old. By 21, he had moved to Berlin, where his journey as Dirty Doering truly began. Starting out at Sternradio and hosting after-hours that became the stuff of legend, his reputation grew rapidly, eventually crossing national borders with the release of his hit track I Would in 2010. But it was his role at the iconic Bar 25 that solidified his place as the beating heart of Berlin’s underground scene. From trac like Casino Aquatique to Cape of Good Hope and Emma Wong, Dirty Doering carried the pulse of the Spree river to the farthest reaches of the techno world. In 2011, alongside Sascha Cawa, he launched Katermukke, a label that quickly became a global sensation. Festivals, clubs, and showcases across every continent followed. Everyone wanted a piece of Katermukke, and everyone wanted Dirty Doering. Katermukke is more than just another imprint; it is a sonic journey, an ever-evolving story that unfolds with every release, and a testament to the restless spirit of musical innovation. Within its embrace, Katermukke amalgamates a broad gamut of electronic genres, from the narcotic allure of melodic house to the pounding heartbeats of techno, from the ethereal landscapes of electronica to the infectious rhythms of indie dance, and beyond. OX OX OX Since 2012, he’s made it a tradition to escape Berlin’s icy winters for a few months in sunny Cape Town. But true to form, he doesn’t just vacation. He plugs himself into the local scene, playing at the hottest festivals and raves while effortlessly bringing together also south african artists and creators for collaborative projects that amplify their talent. Dirty Doering is a character artist by the book. His sound is as succinct as the loud laughter and as surprising as the knee-high white energy socks that he likes to wear behind the booth. He is undoubtedly a sommelier of electronic music and, depending on the setting and set, sounds so deep, so driving, so groovy, and like 80s synths - but always extremely enchanting and when Dirty plays, it seems as if the dancers leave space and time and are Lost in music. His music catalog is as bold and varied as his DJ sets. From deep, immersive grooves to tracks that are weirdly enchanting or razor-sharp, Dirty and Katermukke refuse to be pigeonholed. Their mission is clear: keep moving forward, shatter the mundane, and chase the euphoric feeling where the beat reigns supreme and the worries of tomorrow are left behind. In 2018, his album Euch die Uhren, uns die Zeit captured that ethos perfectly, pulling listeners into its gravitational pull. Now, his latest project, Last Exit Space, released in March 2023 with longtime collaborator Niconé, promises to take the journey even further into the cosmos Now, 2025 promises to be a landmark year for Dirty Doering. Together with Niconé, he’s set to release their first single with XTZ – an exciting teaser for their upcomi album, slated for early 2025. The list of Katermukke releases is longer and top-class than ever. And besides the album, the world will hear a lot from the label boss himself. Good! We celebrate this man and his music from the first bar to the last beat. We celebrate dirty - WE LIKE DIRTY!

“Musik ist sein Leben.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Musik ist sein Leben. Jordan ist ein Kind der Loveparade. 1991 gab ihm der überregionale Charakter des Techno-Umzugs die Initialzündung für eigene Unternehmungen in der elektronischen Tanzmusik. Seitdem steht Jordan hinter den DJ-Pulten der Clubs in und außerhalb Berlins. Stilistisch lässt er sich innerhalb der elektronischen Tanzmusik nicht limitieren. Schubladen sind für Socken da und nicht für seinen Dancefloor-Mix: House, Techno, Electro, Trance, Progressive – Hauptsache Beats, Bass und Melodie. Jordan ist im Berliner DJ-Zirkus ein erfahrener Dompteur, der sich in den Nuller-Jahren als Remixer in den deutschen Verkaufscharts widerfand. Wenn einer in der Stadt weiß, wie man den Laden und die Leute rockt, dann ist es Jordan. Mit seinen Releases ist der Altmeister produktiv bis heute. "Music is my life" von dieser Lebensweisheit inspiriert, begeistert Jordan sich schon früh für alles, was mit Musik zu tun hat. Fast jede freie Minute des Tages wird darin investiert Musik zu hören, zu verstehen und umzusetzen. Kein Wunder, dass es den Musiker 1991 hinter die Plattenteller verschlägt und er schon wenig später mit seinem unverwechselbarem Sound, die feiernde Menge in den Clubs zum kochen bringt. Keine Scheu davor, verschiedene Musikstile miteinander zu vereinen, macht sich bei dem talentierten Musiker schnell ein ganz individueller Stil bemerkbar, der einmalig ist und das Publikum mitreißt. „Elektronische Tanzmusik“ jenseits aller stilistischen Schubladen! Die Mischung aus treibenden Beats , pumpenden Basslines und eingängigen Melodien geht einem vom Ohr direkt in die Beine und sorgt in langen Partynächten für volle Tanzflächen. Durch langjährige Erfahrung u.a. als Producer, Veranstalter und Record Store Betreiber, weiß Jordan worauf es ankommt und bringt es bei jeder Party auf den Punkt – Freude am Tanzen! 2003 erreicht sein Remix von „Silversurfer“ die deutschen Verkaufscharts und wird auch auf der Love Parade Compilation veröffentlicht ! Seine regelmäßigen Releases und Remixes auf Labels wie z.B. Bonzai Records, Low Spirit, Kombinat, Suicide Robot, Ostfunk & BluFin und diversen Mix CD´s für den Vertrieb Intergroove, öffnen ihm die Türen in internationale Clubs in Brasilien, Israel, England, Norwegen, Holland, Schweiz, Polen und Luxemburg. Hier rockte er die Massen zusammen mit bekannten Künstlern wie z.B. Tocadisco , Oliver Huntemann, Tiesto, Westbam, Hardy Hard, Kai Tracid, Marc Romboy, Dr. Motte u.v.m. .Bei seinen Sets , , die immer frisch und international klingen , spürt man deutlich den Einfluss dieser Bookings. 2009 wird sein für Ostfunk produzierter Track „Perfect Wave“ auf der „16 Years of Raveline“ Compilation veröffentlicht ! Die Vinyl Maxi verkauft sich über ein tausendmal und ist in vielen Playlists & Charts vertreten ! http://www.beatport.com/track/perfect-wave-original-mix/1274644 2010 wird mit insgesamt 9 Produktionen und Remixen sein bisher produktivstes Jahr ! „Technocat 2010“ ist gleichzeitig die Hymne zum Pioneer Alpha Festival und der Track „The Player“ führt wochenlang die TechHouse & Minimal Charts bei DJTunes an ! http://www.beatport.com/track/the-player-original/1819280 http://www.beatport.com/track/la-musica-original-mix/1255920 2013 produzierte Jordan zusammen mit Thomas Lizzara 2 Remixe : http://www.beatport.com/track/melanchromantic-thomas-lizzara-and-jordan-remix/4348714 http://www.beatport.com/track/fire-thomas-lizzara-and-dj-jordan-remix/4477203 Letzterer avancierte in kurzer Zeit zum Club Hit und führte wochenlang die Charts bei deejay.de an !Last at KitKatClub in Jul · often with Grace Thompson, LeoSkiDj, Dennis Rema, none of them here that night
