A segment of my 3 hour set that was recorded live during the 2013 Ostgut Ton resident's night at Berghain.

Ben Klock - Berghain 10th Aug 2013

Among many crazy and funny things I said (and did) this summer, one sentence glued to my mind: 

LIFE IS A WONDERFUL THING TO WASTE! 

I meant this in a sense of "how much of ourselves are we willingly suffocating to maintain the image THEY have imposed on us so that we can develop, progress and move freely?" Life's too short to maintain that image. Live your life the way you want. Your life is only yours, and if it makes you happy to "waste it", well it's yours to waste!

* Music genre of the mix:

After five or six years I played (almost only) a deep techno set at The Swamp, Mo:Dem Festival. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

In my process of overthinking I labeled my style of (writing and) DJ-ing as BRICOLAGE /ˌbrɪkəˈlɑːʒ/. In the arts, bricolage (French for DIY or do-it-yourself) is "the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work constructed using mixed media." This definition fully and realistically corresponds to what I'm creating, whether it is a text or a DJ set. This definition also fits my punk philosophy and aesthetics.

Recording of my DJ set from xXETEXx night at Hammahalle (Sisyphos), where I played from 04 to 07 on Sunday, 4.12.2022. and shared the stage with Josephine Wedekind, Herrmann Stöhr and Aka Nina. 

From my post, published on 23rd November:

"Rhetorical question. Did you know that for every story you share (with disgust, pleasure or disdain) about the success of a female producer / DJ in the scene that is based only or mostly on good looks, you ignore the majority of women on the scene. Women who have built their careers and success, apart from their good looks, only on persistence, hard work, quality, a good ear and excellent selection and technique. It is time that, in addition to insisting on gender equality, we also talk about the negative approach and attitude we have. 

With great pride, honor and happiness I will share the DJ booth with three women with a capital W who have made me dance, cheer up and laugh on more than one occasion."

All the love of this world goes to my friends - your love, kindness and support means everything to me.

A special greeting goes to my dear friend @lilianstark without him this recording would not exist.

Respect and gratitude to the people I shared the dancefloor with that night and my vision of music during part of it.

My heart goes to Madchester Monster, S.H. You are an inspiration and motivation. I wish I could spend a day in the beautiful brain of yours just to see what the world looks like from your perspective. My love for you is unworldly and will exist forever, even if/when love takes us apart.

Peace, love, empathy.

Live recording at Basilar Festival 2024.
Phara playing live under his 'In Glass' moniker, using the Korg Electribe EMX-1.

The recording is made with a Tascam DR-40.
Unfortunately I didn't use the right settings and only used the internal microphone which I found out afterwards, but loved the aesthetics of the recording.
