When you think of the word underground what does it mean to you? Maybe you imagine underground worlds or your city’s subway system. For me underground has a strong significance on the type of electronic music that I like to listen to in the club.
As electronic music became more popular the sound became more commercialized and house and techno began to go in a direction that was friendlier to the normal listener. Here we aim to take things back to the rawness that made house and techno music so exciting when it first hit the scene in the 80s.
Still today you can find producers who are giving the grittiness and rawness to the underground sound and keeping it alive. This playlist aims to present to you the best of the world of house and techno. This is the music you can expect to hear on the dance floors of Berghain or Panorama Bar and many other staple clubs of Berlin.
The goal is to make you dance and to appreciate music that is not only cutting edge but never forgot its roots and will help you get lost in the music.
Physical – Ellen Allien

Every DJ has an artist who inspires them to do what they do and for me that artist is Ellen Allien. The Berlin based queen of techno has been on the scene since the early 90s and there is not one person in the techno scene that doesn’t know her name. Ellen’s music spoke to me as a young boy growing up in a city where techno wasn’t popular and I just happened to stumble onto her by accident at the time. She became the driving force behind the beginning stages of my passion for underground electronic music.
