Ben Klock is a German DJ and producer that I just found out through one of his track "Subzero" remixed by Function Regis and released in August 2009. He is particularly a resident DJ of one of the most famous club in Berlin (Germany): the Berghain. High place of the Berlin nights, you can hear often minimal and tech house tracks, as it is the case here. The man who released his latest EPs on Ostgut Tonräger, the Berghain's label, offers a top-flight track. On the same EP, there are two more of his tracks remixed, one by Robert Hood and the other one by Kenny Larkin.
Recent on the electronic scene, the German producer first enjoyed success with his releases on Bpitch Control with "Dawning" and "Dead Man Watches the Clock" that have been playlisted by Michael Mayer and James Holden. He then released his hit "Czeslawa" on the label Ostgut Tonräger and too on Klockworks Recordings his own label. His track moves between techno and minimal style.
This new LP has also created the event in August 2009 because it was quickly played by the cream of the global techno scene worldwide. The list of DJs includes the American Dj Rolando, Jerome Sydenham, Jesus Gonsev, Rodriguez Jr., Josh Wink, Tiga and Gregor Tresher. And to tell you, we can continue this list with other well-known names...
The production is characteristic of the underground German electronic music. The combination is enough dancing despite the dark side that emerges. Klock said: "I like to combine old tracks - whether it be Chicago, Detroit or European dance music - with new ones."
It is therefore a very good track to rediscover in early 2010.
