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.

Born on Road is a DJ collective and label hailing from Bristol, one of the true cradles of British electronic music. At the heart of their sound lies drum & bass, jungle, jump-up, and ragga: genres rooted in the soundsystem culture that birthed their ethos and to which they remain devoted. While their foundations are old-school, the music the crew promotes is cutting-edge, featuring basslines engineered to bring you to your knees. Their next stop? Łódź and the Audioriver Festival.

What hasn’t Boys Noize done! He is a producer, DJ, and film score composer who has collaborated with massive pop stars, including work on the Grammy-winning single “Rain on Me” by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. He’s worked with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and has shared the studio with the likes of Skrillex and VTSS. Despite these high-profile crossovers, his name remains synonymous first and foremost with club music. Having started as an electro-house artist, he can now be heard exploring the heavier, post-industrial vibes of EBM, which he presents in a catchy, accessible way. Now, Boys Noize is set to take over the main stage at Audioriver!
