Art house House & Fringe Techno - and some other rather interesting music

benjamin fehr is a producer, dj and labelowner living in berlin.
he is running the catenaccio label.

benjamin fehr,  the berlin based producer, Dj and head honcho of catenaccio records 
is permanently working on the development of "groove noir".

artists like ricardo villalobos, roman fluegel,  falko brocksieper, jay haze, butane, dana ruh,  
or  labelhead benjamin fehr I ffwd are working perfectly together 
towards the definition of "groove noir", which is the final destination of the label. 
basses well under the radar, buzzing sounds, subtle darkness and stumbeling 
grooves grow together to the special irritating and hypnotizing idea of catenaccio, 
that is also brought to you through the special weird artwork of the covers. 
you will find catenaccio tracks in charts and cases of magda, ritchie hawtin, 
dinky, luciano, zip, jeremy caulfield, karotte, mia, chloe, jennifer cardini and many others. 

since 1993 he is working as a dj and artist in lots of clubs and radioshows. 
he was resident in several clubs, like ostklub frankfurt (1997-2000), the institution robert johnson 
club offenbach ("electric circus" with roman flügel, zip, heiko m.s.o. and krystyna, 1999- 
2002), schmalclub (an experimental clubconcept between art, performance and 
music hosted by william forsythe) and the legendary kiosk (frankfurt/m).

numerous national and international bookings followed (like panoramabar/berghain, init, wmf, watergate, 
bar 25, club der visionäre, Kater holzig -all in berlin, Tokyo, pudel club hamburg, sushi bar paris, 
kunsthalle innsbruck, arttheater cologne, arma 17 moscow, harry klein münchen, 
vrstck dortmund and many more). 

after some experiences in running a pirate radio station in frankfurt (with sascha 
benedetti) since 1994, he played regulary in several radioshows (rdl freiburg, dj night 
& twen arena on radio x frankfurt...). from 2004 to 2010 he had his own monthly show that 
was called "catenaccio - the radioshow" on radio x. 

in his adapted home frankfurt am main (while studing arts and grafics) he was an 
activist in organizing illegal parties in hidden places and buildings in frankfurt and 
offenbach. 

in 2002 he run the charming, illegal, one year existing club kiosk (schutzkontakt.com), that 
invited lots of famous and beloved people like ricardo villalobos, zip, roman flügel, 
closer music, akufen, lawrence, luciano, stl, dandy jack, sasse or benno blome in a 
personal and familiar surrounding. 

in 2004 benjamin fehr started his label catenaccio. 

since 2005 benjamin fehr lives and works in berlin.

since 2008 he has a regular "groove noir night" at "club der visionäre",  the best summer 
location in berlin, where he and his guests are going deep into dark electronics.
the small and charming club paloma in berlin is since 2011 also a home of benjamin fehr's 
"groove noir" nights, catenaccio acts & soulmates in music are defining the idea of deep and dark music for ass and mind.

in the last years he produced besides on his own  imprint catenaccio on labels like 
foundsound, brouqade, lowmidhigh lmtd, tic tac toe, nervmusic, adjunct, finefood and many more. 

since 4 years he is working also on his project "the result" that is a coproduction with 
falko brocksieper (sub-static, karloff, contexterrior, tuning spork).
inspired to create a laid back environment between improvisation and restriction, 
the two are exploring ways to join their different views on shared passion for deep, 
dark, organic and abstract techno.


benjamin fehr already released on labels like foundsound, nervmusic, brouqade, 
lomidhigh, eminor, woods'n'bass, frucht, adjunct, false ind., suena hermosa, finefood, mean,
31337 records, tictactoe…..





If you're looking for a smart, sexy, cuddly house act or a pie-throwing EDM hero, then you're wrong with me.
Look for crisp, impulsive, kick-ass techno with soul - welcome to Negativ Dekadent!

I play live sets with pad & controller, usually 60 minutes, if desired also longer. I smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and sometimes I go by metro without a ticket. I do not play for Nazis.

Contemporary Techno label with a code. 
Close your eyes and watch out for monsters inside and out.

I’m Dr.Nojoke, a Berlin-based live electronic artist performing minimal techno with polyrhythms & hypnotic groove structures.

My live sets go beyond DJ formats, combining laptop-based performance using Ableton Live with acoustic and percussive elements and external effects.

Since 2005 more than 150 releases on various labels such as CLIKNO, Archipel, Sleep Is Commercial, Klangscheiben, Goldmin, Pluie/Noir, Saraw, UNOIKI...

CLIKNO as a concept is infused by Musique Concrete, Dada, Minimalism, Kraut, Dub, polyrhythms, errors and life at all and is based on field recordings and found sounds.

Bio:
Dr. Nojoke is a producer, performer and musician– his live sets continually bring new and unique sounds to the table, a combination of field-recordings, self-made sounds, and highly conceptual production that redefine the way we understand electronic music.
A Berlin native and leader in directional minimal techno (or “clikno” as he describes it), Dr. Nojoke is a master of rethinking ordinary musicality and procuring new uses for the everyday.

Dr.Nojoke´s live show may feature instruments such as radio, crushed plastic bottles and souvenirs as Dr.Nojoke celebrates the joy of finding special sounds in everyday objects not usually appreciated for their musicality.

Since 2005 performances in clubs and on festivals in Brazil, South Africa, Canada, USA, UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Moldova, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and throughout Germany.

More than 150 releases (EPs/albums/remixes/contributions) on labels such as CLIKNO, Archipel, Goldmin Music, Sleep is Commercial, Klangscheiben, UNOIKI, Pluie/Noir, Destroy All Monsters, Minim.all, Autist, Eintakt, Resopal ...
