Being one of the most in-demand Techno DJs of our times, Ben Klock needs little introduction. His name has been closely associated with Berlin’s legendary club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has formed the backdrop to his international success, providing an invaluable platform for his ability to create a room rather than just play to it.

Much of his early career was marked by marathon sets – a signature that played a considerable role in nurturing his skills and reputation – but even the more compressed sets he shares today evidence an intricate narrative and sense of flow that defines him as a DJ. It was these inherent abilities that led him to compile the fabric 66 compilation in 2012, before winning the BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year award in 2015.

His releases on Ostgut Ton have become landmarks in the imprint’s history. 2009’s “Dawning”, the first of his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann kickstarted the label itself and remains a stand-out track in its discography. Another release of particular note is the Before One EP including “Subzero”, which many techno lovers still refer to as their gateway track into the whole genre itself. For many, however, it is his album One (2009) that best captures Klock’s talents as a producer. His skills as a remixer have also seen him rework tracks by a wide variety of artists, including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin.

Additionally, Klock curates with great passion his own label Klockworks, founded in 2006. With releases from DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, Temudo and many more Klockworks became a synonym for unique, high quality Techno.

In 2017 Ben started his own event series PHOTON which is a unique concept show that blends light, architecture and music. Since then he toured PHOTON at special venues in major cities around the world such as Printworks (London), Gashouder (Amsterdam), Arca (Sao Paolo), to name a few. It quickly became a new standard for audio visual electronic music events. In 2023 the project returns after a pandemic induced break with a brand new visual and artistic concept.

Dj & producer (Fowler) seems to be stopping for no individual as he is clearly placing a clearly stronghold in the underground scene on a local level, but more impressively on an international level as well. 

Fowler’s attributes that he lets loose from behind the decks and the atmosphere he passionately moulds through his amalgamation of heavily influenced underground records ensured that 2015 and 2016 were signs of many greater things to emerge.
On a local level many of you will have noticed his creditable award of a residency at the new up and coming Foliée & Lost In Music where he supported London based hard hitting masterclass Max Chapman and Truth Be Told respectably. Furthermore, Fowler is due to support the dynamic headliners Jimmy Switch and Lindsey Matthews in the not so distant future for the brand. 

Referring back to the impressive way he implemented himself on an international level during his two separate stints over in the capital and home of underground music, Ibiza – I have no doubt that his success over their will grow increasingly stronger as in 2015 he kicked off his first season in Ibiza at the Viva Workers Boat Party, leading to a weekly residency with Detroit at Viva. After that he split his time between regular spots at Hush and Koppas and confidently accumulated special guest spots at Savannah, Sankeys, Eden and Pikes Hotel Ibiza Rocks. Following on from 2015, this year was a greater leap with a residency for Faction where they took over Eden every Thursday night; a night that attracted noticeable names such as Max Chapman, Bontan & Raffa FL to name but a few. 

Intertwining the progress and his ascendancy with the residency for Faction, he recently played alongside local gem Tommy Vercetti and the talented Spaniard Wade at EGG in London for Faction’s Ibiza reunion. In 2017 you can catch him representing Faction at the incredible We Are Fstvl, showcasing the most prestigious names and collaborations in house & techno. 

With his talents dictating the field consequential positive attention and support has been brought to the forefront from names such as Paco Osuna, D-Formation, Sam Divine, RIVA STARR & Oscar L amongst others!!
