Carsten Halm is a german Dj and producer but keeps his doings very much under the radar.

He started his early career more then10 years ago  as a dj avoiding club play  but instead  played at self organized  parties in the countryside near Cologne on a hillside with just two residencies. The parties got so famous that  Sven Väth and others came to visit . This experience over the years prepared himself  to understand the essential goals for his music productions. His music has the unique quality to bring people together and experience something very positive.
Now Carsten is playing propper clubs as well but keeps what he thinks is truthfully his roots.

In 2018/2019  he released on the Cologne label Monkey League  of which „Mondlicht" und „Traumtänzer" were  very well received and ended up in the top positions of Top 100 at Beatport.
His recent release in 2020 on Parquet was supported by Artbat, Solomon,Animal Trainer, Format-B, Eelke Kleijn and also made it into the top positions the Beatport charts.

In 2008, Denis Lihotzky and Max Keck noticed a void in the Cologne underground music scene. So the two friends decided to start a project with the aim to fill that void: to provide Cologne with a regular event, which focuses on Melodic Techno. As an ode to their homeland, the Oberbergischer Land, they named their event Bergwacht or “Mountain Rescue”, and began to host parties once a month in Cologne’s Artheater. Denis “Liho”, who not only manages its bookings, but is also Bergwacht’s resident DJ, programs each event with an eye for upcoming talent and an ear for extraordinary music. Bergwacht’s guest DJs continue to attract a loyal and energetic audience, and by 2012, Bergwacht has become an important part of the Cologne underground Techno scene. Continuing to follow their passion, in September of 2012, the Oberbergischer troupe launched Bergwacht Records as an outlet to curate and present the music they love most, “Melodic Techno”. Their debut release features Max Keck and his longtime friend and collaborator Sven Kirchner as Tool..8 with remixes by Lanny May and Boss Axis. Bergwacht releases will be available on Vinyl and as digital download. Open your ears and let Bergwacht rescue you.
