Ben Klock is the very heart of the Berghain sound and has been a resident of the club for nearly 20 years. Few artists are so intrinsically linked to a specific venue. His legend was forged, in part, by his marathon sets. It was during these performances that a signature sound was born: raw and powerful, yet possessing incredible depth. There would be no Klock without Berghain, and no Berghain without Klock. Looking back today, it’s safe to say that thanks to his efforts, a techno renaissance was triggered, one that continues to this day. He is an absolute icon and a creator of timeless art. This year, much like the Audioriver Festival, he is also celebrating a 20th anniversary: in 2006, he founded his own label, Klockworks.
