The two of us, Howard and Marc, have known each other for a whole decade. Back then our music was very different, today we meet perfectly in the middle at a B2B! As 2 residents of TheGate, we were closing the summer season for us with this set. We are already looking forward to the next time, which will definitely happen!

This set is meant for a Monday mood — very relaxed, with a mix of techno and electro, all flowing between 125 and 129 BPM.

Monday Mood

With a restless curiosity for sound, he’s developed a distinctive style—blending precision, energy and emotional depth in both his productions and DJ sets. His tracks are meticulously built journeys, and behind the decks, he’s known for bold selections and a sharp instinct for the dancefloor.

A key figure in Cologne’s electronic music scene, HWRD has played major venues and festivals, and earned a loyal following. He’s the founder of Toolboxxx, a label set for big developments in 2025, and a resident DJ and booker at TheGate in Düsseldorf—his creative home and core community.
This mix was a positive challenge: capturing his identity in under 60 minutes. Recorded at TheGate, the club’s atmosphere helped guide the set and deepen his connection to the sound he wanted to share.
