My opening set of the yet most legendary night at Chill Up on Koh Phangan in Jan. 2023 - "Techno, Schnitzel & Prosecco"
It was my intention to open the dance floor with minimalistic Tech House and to end up at Techno as warm up for the next DJ. I think it worked!

Dein Genre/Sound?
Energetischer Indie Dance, Dark Disco und eine Prise Dirty Techhouse und Downbeat/Basshouse

Wo kommst du her?
Berlin // Wien // Frankfurt am Main

Wie lange legst du schon auf?
7 Jahre mit klitzekleinem Pandemie-Break inbetween

Wie war dein Weg bisher?
Superfreaking spannend :) Allerdings nicht immer einfach. Als transweibliche Person hab ich immer etwas den Struggle gehabt den passenden Space für mich zu finden. Queerparty's waren oft eher cis-male dominiert, feministische Räume wiederum von Cis-Frauen (samt den internalisierten Bauchschmerzen dort nicht so Willkommen zu sein wie auf dem ersten Blick anzunehmend). Zudem neigt man dann mit dieser intersektionalen Verschränkung von gender & transgender besonders häufig dazu eher den dekorativen PR-Zweck auf Timetables zu erfüllen – Für die Quote und eine augenscheinliche Parität. Auf den beschissensten Floor. Zur nervigsten Uhrzeit. Und ganz bis gar nicht bezahlt – Auch wenn ich mich noch so sehr verrenke um richtig abzuliefern. Und dann dem idealtypischen cis-male Dude mit Snapback die Crimetime überlässt, der gerade so gepackt hat vorm Auftritt seinen USB Stick zu exportieren. Ich kann mich total glücklich schätzen, dass ich (vor allem 90% FLINTA*)-Bookerinnen gefunden habe, die mir unabhängig von diesem Bullshit zutrauen richtig abzureißen. Und noch mehr auf eine super chillige Community, die mir z.T. absurd unausgeschlafen ewig lange Wege folgt um mich zu hören. Ihr seid total geil! <3

Was ist dir an einem Safer Space wichtig?
Die allgegenwärtige Frage für wen dieser Safe Space eigentlich sein soll. Und im weiteren Kontext der Versuch zu radikaler Empathie und annähernder Werturteilsfreiheit, um aus der eigenen Alltagsrolle entfliehen zu können, vielleicht sogar völlig neue Identitätsaspekte des Selbst entdecken zu können. Das wär voll schön.

Möchtest du gerne der Welt noch was sagen oder mitgeben?
Trans rights are human rights <3

Hypnotic Beat

House Party

Origin One is my debut album – a journey through hypnotic melodic techno and driving tech house. Deep kicks, heavy rolling basslines, and atmospheric layers merge with robotic vocal textures to create a soundscape built for both underground clubs and big Ibiza stages. From emotional, dreamy buildups to harder, peak-time drops, each track captures a unique moment on the dancefloor and invites you to lose yourself in the flow.

Liho.
It’s 2023 in Cologne, Germany.
Since 2008, the Cologne underground music scene has seen a rise in new promoters, DJs, producers, and label owners; a new generation, and Denis Lihotzky, or better known as Liho, is one them. Motivated by his passion for music, Liho is a co-founder, resident DJ, and main programmer of the Cologne-based “Bergwacht”. He founded Bergwacht with long-time friend Max Keck back in 2008 to focus on bringing melodic techno producers and DJs to Cologne. Today, Bergwacht has become a household name in Cologne hosting monthly parties with guests from around the globe from Microtrauma, Anthony Rother and Gregor Tresher to name a few. Liho’s devotion, backed by a tight-knit group of resident DJs, has shaped Bergwacht into a brand that is not only beloved in Cologne, but has also influenced fans around Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. After five successful years of promoting events and presenting their understanding of melodic techno, Liho and Keck founded Bergwacht Records to further bring forth their passion to the public.

As a DJ, Liho has become a diverse and tactful DJ. He refers to his roots when playing for his own events by presenting a mix of current and classic melodic techno. One could expect to hear new works from Microtrauma or Ryan Davis supported by an old classic from Johannes Heil or Sven Väth. However, he is equally as capable to play a Deep House set or a sunrise set at an outdoor festival. For this reason, Liho is often booked in and around Cologne and boasts performances in Holland and France as well. He plays with an air of confidence that shows he’s an artist that knows what he’s doing, but with a sensibility that shows he doesn’t just play for himself; he cares about his fans. Liho is a lovely guy and an approachable person. It’s no wonder that Liho’s circle continues to grow and his events and label become more popular each day. With a firm hold on the the Cologne Techno scene, it is exciting to watch where he goes from here!

In 2008, Denis Lihotzky and Max Keck noticed a void in the Cologne underground music scene. So the two friends decided to start a project with the aim to fill that void: to provide Cologne with a regular event, which focuses on Melodic Techno. As an ode to their homeland, the Oberbergischer Land, they named their event Bergwacht or “Mountain Rescue”, and began to host parties once a month in Cologne’s Artheater. Denis “Liho”, who not only manages its bookings, but is also Bergwacht’s resident DJ, programs each event with an eye for upcoming talent and an ear for extraordinary music. Bergwacht’s guest DJs continue to attract a loyal and energetic audience, and by 2012, Bergwacht has become an important part of the Cologne underground Techno scene. Continuing to follow their passion, in September of 2012, the Oberbergischer troupe launched Bergwacht Records as an outlet to curate and present the music they love most, “Melodic Techno”. Their debut release features Max Keck and his longtime friend and collaborator Sven Kirchner as Tool..8 with remixes by Lanny May and Boss Axis. Bergwacht releases will be available on Vinyl and as digital download. Open your ears and let Bergwacht rescue you.
