Boris Brejcha

With his simultaneously melodic and menacing style of dance music, German DJ, producer, and F****g Serious label boss Boris Brejcha is beloved in both popular and underground club culture. • Brejcha started out playing drums and keyboards in bands. Once he discovered electronic music, he gravitated to trance before switching to techno. • He produced music for years before making his live debut in 2006. • An incisive innovator, Brejcha calls his eclectic style “high-tech minimal,” a blend of his favorite elements of techno, progressive house, and trance. • He happened upon his masked joker pesona by accident, while looking for a way to stand out among other acts while getting ready to play a show in Rio de Janeiro. The disguise was inspired by the city’s famous Carnival. • In 2019, the globetrotting producer embarked on his first full-length stateside tour, hitting house and techno hotbeds like Miami and Chicago. He’s known for exclusively playing his own productions while performing, giving his sets a uniquely authentic feel. • His 2020 album Space Diver—released on Ultra Records—features a pair of vocal cameos from his longtime partner, Ginger.
