Taken from the soundtrack of Berlin Calling, Bengang by Paul Kalkbrenner is a tech house piece with a groove capable of haunting your mind after you casual night out. 
This is my take on it with the purpose of making it a bit more fitting for peak time sets. The bootleg is free so grab it while it's hot!

Paul Kalkbrenner - Bengang (Distant Fragment Bootleg)

Born in 1985 in Greece, Nick Tsitlakidis, the man behind the Distant Fragment moniker, was always involved with electronic music one way or another. 
He has been (and still is) a passionate listener but during the last 10 years Nick has released a full artist album and a stream of original tracks and remixes that grabbed the attention and support of A-List djs like Tiesto, John Digweed, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo who included the tracks in their radio shows and gigs.

His dj sets has been hosted by global radio shows and as a producer he has worked with labels like Black Hole, System, Beat Freak, Hunya Munya and producers like Kosmas Epsilon, Steve Mill, Max Demand, Loquai, Tim Andreson and Rishi K to name a few.

From the rugged landscapes of the North East to his formative years in the South West, Matt Black’s three-decade odyssey through electronic music stands as a testament to unwavering passion and artistic evolution. When he transplanted himself to London’s vibrant scene in 1991, it wasn’t just a change of address—it was the catalyst for a lifelong love affair with the transcendent power of dance music culture. Though initially captivated by the frenetic energy of hardcore and drum & bass, everything changed when the hypnotic progressions of a John Digweed mixtape found their way to his ears in 1994, revealing the sonic path he was destined to follow.

Matt cut his teeth in South London’s intimate pub circuit, where raw talent and dedication eventually opened doors to his breakthrough club performance in 1995. What followed was a meteoric rise through London’s notoriously competitive underground scene, where his signature blend of melodic textures and driving rhythms earned him coveted slots at industry touchstones. From the sweaty, packed rooms of Empathy in Bristol to the legendary decks of The Gallery in London, and across international borders to Poland and Mexico, Matt’s musical journey has left an indelible mark on dance floors that transcends geographical boundaries.

In the studio, Matt has emerged as a formidable production force with an ear for the sublime. His collaboration with progressive house pioneers Lexicon Avenue on “The Farthest” didn’t merely chart on Beatport—it captivated listeners and DJs alike with its meticulously crafted soundscape and emotional resonance. This success has been far from isolated, with Matt’s musical fingerprint gracing releases on industry powerhouses Perfecto Black, Bonzai Progressive, Balkan Connection, and Krafted Underground. Perhaps most telling is the caliber of support his productions command, with luminaries Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Guy J—true architects of the progressive sound—regularly featuring his work in sets that define the genre’s cutting edge.

The airwaves have become Matt’s second home through his twin radio residencies, each showcasing different facets of his encyclopedic musical knowledge. The monthly “Housefeelings” broadcast on Frisky Radio has become a sanctuary for deep, emotive selections, while his enduring “Acoustic Pleasure” show on Proton Radio stands as one of the platform’s most cherished offerings. Both programs consistently attract electronic music’s most respected voices as guests, creating a forum where boundaries dissolve and pure musical expression reigns supreme.

With an arsenal of unreleased material currently being perfected in his studio sanctuary, Matt Black continues to push his artistry into bold new territories. As these forthcoming projects prepare to emerge from the shadows, one thing remains certain: the dance music landscape will be all the richer for having this sonic architect’s vision within it.

The story begins when he was a young man, he was 13 years old. With a group of friends from my neighborhood in Mexico, we got together to listen to music. We were passionate about electronic music, so I left school and looked for an education in the club and rave scene.
"We could not find what we liked to do at school," "We wanted to focus on music, so we started clicking, we're sorry, we did the right thing for us." Although we were too young to legally enter a nightclub, visiting several clubs in Mexico. In most cases, we had to hide in the emergency exit of the building to avoid scrutiny by the authorities, surprised to see the teenagers on the dance floor, all vibrating at the same level. This occurred in early 2000 and the raves / clubs scene in Mexico was in its infancy, with genres such as goa trance, progressive house, dark melodic (a secondary style of Hardcore Techno) that dominated emerging electronic culture. Two years later we experienced a musical revelation. "Here it was in this Mexican paradise where the intoxicating sounds of the Goa Trance and progressivehouse infiltrated our bodies and souls, at the age of 15. The experience left an indelible trace in our young lives, illustrating the spirit." Basically, it was something new for everyone, "about the influence it had on the creation of the basis of its sound, which is based on vibrant bass lines, guitars, rhythms and voices." We are very attracted to the way in which the people had fun at parties and the way they reacted was something very new for us too, "when one of my friends bought a recording equipment. Our career as dj producers was born, while A friend came with a couple of cdplayers and from That moment we liked after a few years something really great was happening in our lives and what was to come.
