  “Plattentaschen kann man kaufen, Haltung nicht!”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Plattentaschen kann man kaufen, Haltung nicht! Vor noch gar nicht allzu vielen Jahren stand Pauli Pocket mit einer Plastiktüte vom Discounter im Club und zog daraus die Scheiben, mit denen sie den Dancefloor in Bewegung brachte. Attitüde trifft Alditüte. Außer den Platten, hatte sie noch ihren Vater im Gepäck, da sie noch nicht alt genug war, um alleine in Clubs zu dürfen. Vielleicht berührt uns diese Geschichte aus der Anfangszeit von Paulines Karriere auch deshalb so sehr, weil sie uns daran erinnert, wie wir selbst alle vor vielen Jahren das kiloschwere Vinyl in Wäschekörben, Kartons und Postkisten zu den ersten Gigs geschleppt haben und weil diese Geschichten heute im hochprofessionalisierten und durchorganisierten Techno-Zirkus so selten geworden sind. Inwischen gibt es kaum noch einen Club in Berlin, von Kater und Sisyphos über Sucide Circus, Watergate bis zur Renate, in dem Pauli nicht regelmäßig an den Decks steht. Ein Case besitzt Pauline inzwischen, Haltung wie eh und je, und auch sonst steckt sie mit ihren straighten, vorwärtsgehenden Sets uns sowieso alle in die Tasche.

  the whole biography

  Markus Klee is quickly becoming a synonym for energizing groovy techno and tech house. The Berlin-based DJ and producer has been part of the Berlin electronic music scene for many years now and has since then become simply irreplaceable. His first experiences as a DJ were however as spontaneous and coincidental as could be: his talents came to surface during several after hour parties, where he would perfect his skills and experiment on a self-taught basis. Markus Klee is well known for demonstrating great expertise and performing in Berlin clubs like Ritter Butzke, IPSE, Suicide Circus or Weekend, which in turn allowed him to become a guest DJ in Munich’s best clubs and has given him the opportunity to successfully showcase his talents internationally in countries like Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Austria, Serbia and Switzerland. In early 2015 he began releasing his very own tracks on his very own label, Konzeptions, which he co-founded along with SoKool and Mr. Schug. He has additionally released tracks on labels like Lapsus Music & Patent Skillz.

  Mehr is Mehr

  Berlin · 13 bookings since Nov 2025

  “Mehr is Mehr We wish everyone would have more trust in themselves.”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Mehr is Mehr We wish everyone would have more trust in themselves. More courage to leave their comfort zones. Fewer doubts and sorrows. More moments when our inner child takes over, more carefreeness, more tears of joy. But most of all: Mehr is Mehr! This may sound cheesy, but when Vera and Rosalie first met in 2013, it felt like destiny from the get go. They clicked, became partners in crime and went on a two-year journey to discover Berlin's Techno scene - always on the lookout for the next rave, and always front row with the beat in their hearts and their eyes locked on the DJ console. They didn’t even bother resisting Techno's allure and soon bought a cheap old controller to learn the alchemy that is djaying. After a while they began performing at birthday parties among their cirle of friends. One night the old controller crashed, so, with sweaty palms and shiny eyes, they scraped together their savings and purchased a brand new unit. In hindsight that was the point in time when Mehr is Mehr came to be. Just a few months later they had their first Berlin club gig. Soon after Nicorus started his Techno/Psy event series „Les enfants d’la cave“ and invited them to become part of his crew. The following years were a crazy ride. Mehr is Mehr got booked by clubs like Watergate, Kater Blau, Moloch and many many more. Also their biggest dream: spinning the wheels at Hammahalle of the notorious Sisyphos club came true! Fun fact: Hammahalle was the place, where Mehr is Mehr coined their name during the early days. But they weren't just playing at clubs - plenty of festivals such as Château Perché, Bucht der Träumer and Wilde Möhre began filling their summers. Since 2017 Mehr is Mehr is part of the Wuza crew, which organizes parties all over Europe. In May 2018 the booking agency Soupherb took them on. There’s still no end in sight, as you may suspect: Mehr is Mehr. https://www.facebook.com/mehrismehr/ https://soundcloud.com/mehrismehrberlin https://www.instagram.com/mehrismehr/ gigs.gigatools.com/u/mehrismehr

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Daniel Neuland, born in 1988, is a German music producer and DJ from Berlin. He has been releasing music since 2004 and has been performing on stages big and small around the world ever since. First it was the stages of the local and national hip hop scene, then for a whole decade the international dubstep stages. In 2019, Daniel Neuland fell for Berlin's techno hype and has been producing and performing under his own name ever since. His sound can be located somewhere between indie dance and tech house, whereby he always incorporates his musical roots from hip hop and dubstep into his productions. This mixture has enabled him to prove himself as an innovative creative mind within the techno scene. As co-founder of his own label, 44 Hertz, "Neuli" has been releasing his songs by himself since 2023. In the same year, the event series of the same name found its home in the infamous Kater Blau and has radiated far beyond the capital. At the end of 2024, the single "Alle Warten" is released together with Sahra Bass on Tipping Point. The song reaches number 2 in the Beatport Indie Dance Charts and does not leave the Top 100 for another 4 months. This catapults Daniel Neuland into the Top 50 Indie Dance annual artist charts on Beatport. "Neuli" can be heard regularly in Berlin clubs such as Kater Blau, Sisyphos, KitKat and Ritter Butzke, but he is also a regular guest outside the city and beyond the country's borders. He has released on other well-known labels such as Heinz Music, Hollystone Records and SNOE and is celebrated for his playful productions and dedicated performances. Neuland is known for his passion for music and his ability to combine different styles of electronic music and create something new on the dancefloor.
