"Henrik Nordvargr Björkk has since 1988 systematically explored the broad field of the post-industrial music scene, covering noise, power electronics, militant, dark ambient, drone, blackened noise, EBM, experimental electronics and avantgarde.

In parallel to his band activities, he has pursued a solo career with a vast amount of record releases. He is widely considered one of the most influential and productive post-industrial artists ever."

As the resident DJ of Grounded Theory, one of its founders, curator of its celebrated events, and a DJ of worldwide renown for ability and tastes, Henning Baer forged his enviable résumé with his own hands. 

Since its beginning in 2009, Grounded Theory has grown from a bracing new idea in Berlin techno to an institution of artistic nightlife both at its home and around the continent. Directed with acute vision and unerring judgment, its philosophy extracted from Henning’s long years at the front lines of electronic music, it remains diverse and cutting edge. Mirroring Henning Baer's DJ sets, Grounded Theory combines music from different eras and areas, remaining rooted in techno while shedding light on sounds less frequently heard on Berlin dance floors: forward UK music, experimental electronics, and underground techno names from across the globe, both new and established.   

Henning Baer is asserting greater independence with innovative new production styles on a recent EP for Taanstaafl Planets. The launch of his own MANHIGH imprint buttresses the foundation of his own work, to be built up alongside a select few whose productions meet the curatorial acumen of one of techno’s finest ears. After esteemed releases on Sonic Groove, K209 and elsewhere, fans worldwide have much to look forward to from a label whose standards match those of Grounded Theory. 

Already a respected artist, Henning’s diligence has transported him from the counter to the shelves of Hardwax and from the floor to the booth of Berghain in regular appearances. Now he is building further upon these impressive accomplishments, profoundly shaping contemporary techno from recent memory into the foreseeable future.

Brian David is a Singer-/Songwriter & multi-instrumentalist born in Bremerhaven, based in Berlin and currently traveling East Africa!

Der Talisman… 
Er ist wohl eine reifende Ikone der elektronischen Musik. Seinen Drang zum Auflegen entwickelte er in der Zeit, wo Techno noch von einer Ideologie getragen wurde. Es ist nun mal eine Lebenseinstellung und dass er daran glaubt, merkt man an seinen faszinierenden Sets. Er versteht es die Masse zu involvieren. Seine Sets sind wie eine hochgestimmte und expressive Berg- und Talfahrt. Es... ist schwer sich nicht von ihnen leiten zu lassen. Hoch und runter und wieder hoch und wieder runter, wer weg hört ist selber schuld! Ein grenzenloses Hörvergnügen und für Tanzbereitschaft sorgt es ganz und gar.


The Talisman...
He is arguably an emerging icon of electronic music.In his urge for spinning records he developed in a time where techno was still an ideology.It is even in his attitude towards life.This belief is reflected in his fascinating sets.He knows how to involve the masses.His sets are a rollercoaster ride taking you to new expressive heights and it is really hard not to be influenced by them.Up and down and up and down again,anyone who doesn`t listen is missing a thrilling ride!It is a hypnotic listening pleasure guarenteed to make you dance.
