Techno
125 SETS LOGGED · SINCE 2010

Berlin-based techno artist and DJ, Ben Klock became a Berghain resident in 2005 and has shaped the club's distinctive sound over two decades. His stripped-down, tension-driven productions and expertly paced marathon sets established him at the forefront of contemporary Berlin techno. He released formative EPs on BPitch Control before becoming a key artist for Berghain's Ostgut Ton label, where his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann—notably "Dawning" and the influential album One (2009)—defined a generation of dark, hypnotic techno. In 2006 he founded Klockworks, a curated label that has released work by DVS1, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, and others. His BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix of the Year award (2015) and the fabric 66 compilation underscore his influence across electronic music.
