WELCOME TO MARCEL DETTMANN’S PHONOX RESIDENCY,

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome one of the most influential techno proponents in history, Marcel Dettmann, across 4 Fridays at Phonox.

Raised in communist East Germany, this is the place where Dettmann found his passion for counterculture electronic sounds, from post-punk and new wave to industrial noise, an early influence before his later immersion into techno. Post reunification, Dettmann became a part of the Berlin clubbing landscape thanks to his fabled residency with Berghain (and it’s predecessor Ostgut), which he’s held from 1999 to today, a total of 25 years in the world’s most revered nightclub…

Reduced and rough, emotional and unpredictable, Dettmann’s contemporary techno sound (and his innovate integrations of sound with visual art) have become legendary through his productions and DJ sets. In challenging societal times such as now, the intense release you can get from a deep cutting sound like Dettmann’s on the dancefloor couldn’t be any more valuable.

BEN KLOCK JOINS HIM B2B FOR THE OPENING PARTY.

The opening party sees a meeting of two techno gods in the club. You simply cannot have a conversation about techno in the past 20 year timespan without mentioning these two iconic producers and DJs respectively, both having been the brains behind some of the most iconic records made in the genre.

The pair have also held Berghain residencies (often citied as the greatest club in the world) since before it went by that name 20+ years ago, all the way back to the old days of the Ostgut club pre-evolution… For anyone who’s been lucky enough to attend one of their sets at Berghain’s iconic Sunday party, Klubnacht, you will understand just how incredible these guys are behind the decks. The Berlin club only welcomes the ultimate selectors into its DJ booth.

This is going to be a historic night of techno, acid and breaks in the club. Our Funcktion Ones are ready.
