ABOUT THIS ITEM

When it comes to Berlin's Berghain and its myth, we all know the deal by now: techno, concrete, marathon dances. Fact or fiction, "Berghain 04" comes in the nick of time. It is impossible to reduce Ben Klock's musical vision and especially his work as a DJ. Stereotypes and close-minded genre definitions have never been wished-for by the protagonists (Berghain and Klock) anyway and they won't help you here. Ben Klock seems not to care about classifications, about the limits and differences of techno and house, if something fits into the dubstep formula or if a record is in line with the scheme of an almighty and dominating bass drum. The Berghain resident is just doing what always separated a brilliant DJ from a good one: Klock adopts the music as his own. Literally, Ben Klock's debut mixed CD is a cornucopia of new, unreleased and exclusive pieces. Bass music hero Martyn delivers one of his clunky hybrids, Berlin's best kept secret Roman Lindau presents breathtaking, chrome-plated dub techno and a new player by the name of ACT surprises and amazes all at the same time. You will hear fantastic novelties by Rolando, New York's very own Levon Vincent, Klockworks artist and Minneapolis genius DVS1 and of course by Ben Klock himself.
