Kerri Chandler - Pong (Ben Klock's Bones & Strings Rework)

Soulful, Funky and Deep
DJ wOW grew up around the music since a young age and he has been involved with some kind of musical activity for most of the life. From his early teens he developed a taste for music. Now his featured music styles are Soulful, Funky and Deep. His mixes are always unusual and full of the experiments within these styles of House. Spinning CD’s, he is especially recognised for his own artistic style. His sound is extremely energetic and blended up with soul vocals, funky and soulful beats fused together to create an intense uplifting energy. Each performance is a unique experience as his way of connecting with the dance floor changes with each venue. However, he maintains consistency through his unbeaten objective of delivering fun. He would like to be associated with a smile and he’s sincerely interested in the success of all parties involved during his performances. Playing on the special house parties with other DJs, his music merges together. Recently he has been visiting the capital of Lithuania where he was playing on “Filtered tools” parties as a headliner of the show parties. In the present, he works with Dj Pols in the "Essential club". Every single weekend in the Pink Room a different world is created by DJ wOW and DJ Pols. At that given moment only one world exists: Their World. Their Rules. Their Music. Distant from the routine life everyone is used to live. They set up their World the way that people can’t wait for the next weekend to live through that feeling again... and again. Besides their own audience they have their own music style: The Pink House that is also full of colors, feelings, emotions. The top of the music can be easily found on the official website of Essential Club. In 2004 DJ got to know the passion of Iberican and Balearic rhythms, which was a great discovery for the DJ wOW. Sometimes in his mixes all of these styles melodies can be found, and he admits that still this pleasant sensation of hot rhythms makes him feel gratified and joyous. At the same time, in 2004, he found his pleasure in the little known Trentemoller tracks, and there was the origin of his love to Deep House. He organized his own bizarre parties, which were always set up to satisfy clubber’s desires as much as possible. One of the successfully lead parties is "SUMMERtown", which had four sessions in club "Tonuss" in 1 year (2004-2005) with the best foreign headliners, concept installation and organising show. In addition, he organized orange and green night of "Move Session" in cinema "Riga". Two sessions lead him together with the association "4music" in 2004, which has changed the traditions of the club actions. Another party was Open Air "Miami Night" - atmosphere of sand, water, and nature connected with soul - in the end of summer 2004, and 2005 gave everyone an extraordinary feeling of being a part of the music that DJ’s gave to the audience. Dancing in the moonlight, seeing the stars, feeling the music from from the hair follicles to the toenails is what everyone wants to give the people and this is what DJ wOW achieved successfully. From 2005 to 2007 he was working in the weekly youth magazine “EN”, where he in collaboration with the famous DJ Bogdan Taran carried a column about the city night life. In the year of 2008 he seriously got involved in the producing. He mixed and mastered his first quality compositions and he really has to be proud about some of them. The remixes of Flyingmice & Dj Crash – Back to Chicago were the best impulse for the artist to begin his journey in the right direction. It was the first step in the direction he was looking for but he couldn’t find since 2006. And, most importantly, he thinks that it’s not enough if music goes though the mind, it must flow though the soul. Elena Holodkova 19.03.2008

Being one of the most in-demand Techno DJs of our times, Ben Klock needs little introduction. His name has been closely associated with Berlin’s legendary club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has formed the backdrop to his international success, providing an invaluable platform for his ability to create a room rather than just play to it.

Much of his early career was marked by marathon sets – a signature that played a considerable role in nurturing his skills and reputation – but even the more compressed sets he shares today evidence an intricate narrative and sense of flow that defines him as a DJ. It was these inherent abilities that led him to compile the fabric 66 compilation in 2012, before winning the BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year award in 2015.

His releases on Ostgut Ton have become landmarks in the imprint’s history. 2009’s “Dawning”, the first of his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann kickstarted the label itself and remains a stand-out track in its discography. Another release of particular note is the Before One EP including “Subzero”, which many techno lovers still refer to as their gateway track into the whole genre itself. For many, however, it is his album One (2009) that best captures Klock’s talents as a producer. His skills as a remixer have also seen him rework tracks by a wide variety of artists, including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin.

Additionally, Klock curates with great passion his own label Klockworks, founded in 2006. With releases from DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, Temudo and many more Klockworks became a synonym for unique, high quality Techno.

In 2017 Ben started his own event series PHOTON which is a unique concept show that blends light, architecture and music. Since then he toured PHOTON at special venues in major cities around the world such as Printworks (London), Gashouder (Amsterdam), Arca (Sao Paolo), to name a few. It quickly became a new standard for audio visual electronic music events. In 2023 the project returns after a pandemic induced break with a brand new visual and artistic concept.
