  • Enrico Sangiuliano
    Enrico Sangiuliano

    Enrico Sangiuliano is a name you will have no doubt noted if you’ve dipped your toe in Techno waters. Standing as one of contemporary dance music’s most influential talents, the Emilia native’s impeccable back catalogue represents nothing but timeless No.1 records, and now only grows to hold more future classics. Aside from his chart-topping studio endeavours, the melodic pioneer’s lengthy resume of iconic performances have thrilled and inspired in equal measure, making him one of the most discernibly authentic and balanced artists on the circuit.

    Embarking on his newest exploration in the world of sound design, the production maestro recently announced the launch of his 10-chapter, transient record label NINETOZERO, along with its correlative SOLO all-night-long event series. A sonic storyteller with deep and meaningful narratives at the core of his many opuses, Enrico’s time-limited imprint serves as an intervention to the notion of perpetual music, opting for an ephemeral concept that challenges audiences to redefine their listening habits. His corresponding SOLO series gives new perspective and insight into his sound palette as a DJ, as he extends the NINETOZERO ethos into an immersive live experience that highlights the evanescent beauty of contemporary club culture.

  • Ben Klock
    Ben Klock
    Berlin native Ben Klock is highly regarded for his powerful, expertly paced DJ sets as well as his stripped-down, tension-heavy techno productions. A key resident DJ at Berghain since early 2005, Klock has released much of his music through the iconic club's Ostgut Ton imprint, including the underground hits "Dawning" (with Marcel Dettmann) and "Subzero" as well as the influential 2009 full-length One. Known for performing marathon sets at the most state-of-the-art sound systems in the world, his near-constant work schedule has brought him to intimate clubs as well as festival stages. He's also contributed to numerous mix CD series and podcasts, and he was responsible for BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix of the Year in 2015. Additionally, Klock runs the no-nonsense minimal techno label Klockworks, which released its 34th record (by Klock and Fadi Mohem) in 2022. Klock first began to DJ at Berlin clubs during the mid-'90s, including Cookies and Tresor, where he primarily spun house music. He released his first EP, Clockworks, as Ben E. Clock in 1998. A more electro-influenced EP titled I ♥ You appeared in 2000, but he nearly quit DJing after becoming disinterested in the electroclash and minimal house scenes that were inescapable at the time. He returned with two singles on Ellen Allien's BPitch Control in 2003, then became one of the first residents at Berghain after it opened in 2004, reigniting his passion for nightlife. Continuing to release singles on BPitch Control and its Memo sublabel, Klock became one of the first artists to issue music through Berghain's Ostgut Ton label, beginning with 2006's "Dawning"/"Dead Man Watches the Clock," his first collaboration with fellow resident Marcel Dettmann. He also founded Klockworks in 2006, issuing his own productions at first, then later material by producers such as DVS1 and Trevino. 2009 proved to be Klock's breakthrough year due to the success of his Before One EP (particularly the track "Subzero") and debut album, One. Increasing his worldwide touring schedule, he remained active as a producer, releasing the 2010 EP Compression Session and remixing tracks by Depeche Mode, Martyn, Emptyset, and countless others. His first commercially released mix, Berghain 04, appeared in 2010, followed by Fabric 66 in 2012. "Dawning" was re-released in 2013, this time backed with "Dawning (Revisited)." Klock and Lucy released the ambient techno EP War Lullaby on Stroboscopic Artefacts in 2015. His contribution to BBC Radio 1's long-running weekly Essential Mix program was voted the best mix of the same year. Phantom Studies, a double EP by Dettmann and Klock, appeared in 2017. In 2019, "Subzero" was reissued as a stand-alone single, backed with "Coney Island," previously only available on the CD edition of One. Klockworks 34, a collaboration between Klock and Fadi Mohem, appeared in 2022. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi

    About Ben Sims

    Known as the '3 deck master', 'the human abelton' and 'the machine', Ben Sims had his first decks at age ten. Schooled on mix tapes by the likes of Bambaata, DJ Cheese and Froggy, and with his musical roots in reggae, funk, disco, electro, rare groove and hip-hop, by his mid teens he was spinning at after-hours 'blues' houses and a few years later came the acid house explosion with pirate radio and clubs. Skip forward over 15 years and you’ll find he’s one of the UK’s biggest techno exports and a much in demand producer. Ben has been involved in running 9 labels, a couple of which are on hold at present (Theory, Killabite, Hardgroove, Native, Ingoma, Symbolism, Assembly, KB Records inc, Split Music), each one with a distinctive sound, ranging from hardgroovin’ and funk driven techno and house that is the trademark of his DJ sets, via tribal, to melodic electronica. In a genre that propagates sound-a-likes, Ben Sims productions have gained widespread attention and feature regularly in the boxes of his own personal heroes like Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Jeff Mills and Rolando, whilst also attracting crossover appeal from the likes of Carl Cox etc. He has remixed Jeff Mills, Green Velvet, Blake Baxter, DJ Funk, Marco Bailey, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer plus many more and has had his tracks and remixes featured on mix cds by Robert Hood, Francois Kevorkian, DJ Rush, Joey Beltram, Dave Clarke, Umek, Luke Slater, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin and hundreds more. The past 10 years have seen Ben constantly touring and tearing up dancefloors at legendary clubs & parties like- Liquid room, Tokyo, Sonar, Barcelona, Limelight. NYC, Rex, Paris, Zouk, Singapore, I love Techno, Gent, Tresor, Berlin, Awakenings, Amsterdam and Atomic jam, Birmingham plus hundreds of others with his tight, energetic and skilful brand of 3 deck wizardry. Add this to the 6 deck ROKU sets with Mark Broom, recent ventures into promoting with both the Retro_vert and Split parties causing a storm in London, a monthly internet radio show presented with Alex Downey and a new mix cd lined up for the Slovenian based Matrix series, plus the FREQUENCY 7 dex, fx and laptop shows with Birmingham's Surgeon, pushing the boundaries of DJ sets or as part of the ESSEX RASCALS with Tony Anderson, Mark Broom and Paul Mac dropping everything from House to Funk to Disco, The illusive classics remixing duo KILLA PRODUCTIONS again with Paul Mac, plans for a disco re-edit project and after recent bizarre but genius use of the hit 'remanipulated' in a hardcore lesbian porn movie doing the rounds on the net, you can certainly expect some sexy new beats from mr sims very soon ;-)
