Hans Hammer is one of those artists who doesn’t need to make grand statements. His music speaks for itself. Reduced, focused, and full of atmosphere. Within the club scene, he navigates with impressive clarity between house, minimal, and subtle electro influences. He’s not chasing spectacular drops or fleeting trends, but rather something that endures: a carefully crafted groove that settles into both body and mind. As a DJ, he’s precise but never sterile. His sets unfold organically, take their time, and create space for details that others might overlook. 

His label, Bladehouse, which he co-founded, is a reflection of this philosophy. Established with the goal of releasing music beyond fast-paced market cycles, Bladehouse has become much more than a platform for tracks. It’s a community, a curated collective devoted to the art of restraint. Each release – including the most recent one, BHO005, which emerged from a collaborative retreat – stands for hand-picked quality. The artists aren’t chasing a uniform sound, but rather a shared idea: house music that is stripped back but not hollow; structured but never predictable. Bladehouse isn’t a fleeting scene project, it’s a long-term movement, driven by people who feel music before they categorize it. And Hans Hammer is its steady core, an artist who doesn’t need to turn everything up to be heard. Those who dive into his sets or the label’s output quickly realize: this is music with substance.
