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.
