“Hypnotika” is the new release by Berlin-based producer duo Deorbiting featuring deep house interwoven with 90s reminiscent trance elements. Trance for adults! The title track is peak time deep house with dehumanized vocal fragments at 121 bpm. Next up is the single “Daedalus” at 119bpm, showcasing the duo’s expert skills in layering different rhythms and melodies. The final track “Icarus” delivers downtempo with a warm bassline and trippy synths. For the cover they asked their friend and painter Helena Adamek – she came up with a portrait melting both their heads into one another like yin and yang. This visualises the essence of their music, Deckert & Schilgen always complimenting each other with their ideas.

Traversing life faithfully by ear. 
Always seeking out the place where music takes control. It is my strongest connection to the world around me and to everyone in it. 
Find your own frequency. I hope to dance with you there.

The proactive musical journey of present day poly genrist Deckert kicked off by joining a postcore teenage angst band in the eyeliner painted emo era of the mid 2000s. Quickly his interests longed beyond cliche soaked heartbreak lyrics and the transition from guitars to electronics began with the help of a new wave of indietronic and the french tsunami of new rave which built a comfortable bridge between the old and the new world.

Quickly after attending the first rave all nighters Deckert felt unsatisfied with the lack of underground electronic parties in his native Ruhr area, gathered some likeminded friends and altogether they stomped some sunday midday dancefloor matinees out of the ground. Due to the absence of any kind of booking budget this is where the first ever attempts at DJing started.

Following some twists of fate in 2008 Deckert joined the lineup of Germany’s notorious pop enfant terrible ‚Jennifer Rostock‘ as a bass player for the coming 10 years. Besides an endless amount of touring this career choice included the movement of his center of life to Berlin providing an internship in the concrete depths of the techno capital.

The interest in this kind of music and the ever evolving surrounding scene never cooled off. After becoming close friends with DJ and producer ‚Aaaron‘, Deckert gathered interest in crafting his own electronic endeavors. Their first collaboration ‚L.D.O.E.‘ became an instant success in 2017 and secured them a place in the heart of the roster of ‚Connected‘, the label run by UK’s legendary ’Stereo MCs’.

Many joint releases followed on acclaimed labels like ‚MoBlack‘, ‚Frau Blau‘ and ‚LSF21+‘, escorted by countless remixes, tracks and solo EPs on ’Stil vor Talent’, ‚Monaberry' and ‚TAU‘, just to name a few.

From 2023 on Deckert established a promising joint venture with rising whizz kid ‚Ede‘, resulting in the international post punk electronica smash hit ‚Immer‘ which got picked up by Gerd Janson's very own imprint ‚Running Back‘. The track became a regular closing track in Berlin's infamous ‚Panoramabar‘ and slipped onto the USB-Sticks of countless major league DJs. The new found duo is set to deliver further follow up releases on some of the finest labels in contemporary techno and already played sprawling sets in mythical locations like ‚Sisyphos‘ or ‚Watergate‘.

Furthermore the multi instrumentalist is one half of the electronic liveact ‚Deorbiting‘ with a constant output on Oliver Koletzki’s label.

Deckert’s diverse DJ-sets offer a sparkling variety in between house, indie and organica, sometimes seen with rare trance ascendents. The passionate performer keeps a steady eye onto the given crowds and circumstances, already having spread fancy footworks over dancefloors in destinations all over the globe like Tokyo, Istanbul, Croatia and Tulum.

The club is dead, long live the club! Independent label from Berlin. Underground but professional.
