The new Elevate.Berlin podcast comes courtesy of Matter Of Fact head honcho André Kronert, launching the first in a three-part series recorded during our in-store session with Arepas Records. A veteran DJ, producer, and label boss known for his precision-engineered sound and decades of commitment to underground dance culture, Kronert delivers a mix that straddles the lines between robust percussive grooves, classic house jams, deep atmospheric vibes, and trippy acid cuts. This opening installment sets the tone for the upcoming mixes, warm, driving, and unmistakably embracing the Elevate.Berlin sonic aesthetic. 

Elevate Mix 033 - Andre Kronert at Elevate.Berlin's Arepas Records In Store

Alex Ketzer is a visionary electronic artist, DJ, and graphic designer from Cologne, best known as the founder and driving force behind the Noorden label. His sound fluidly shifts between ambient, micro-house, minimal techno, and textured downtempo, weaving moody atmospheres, meticulous sound design, and emotional depth into a distinct musical identity. Releases like Fern and Fourth Face showcase his ability to balance tension and serenity, futurism and warmth. As a label operator, Ketzer has shaped Noorden into a tightly curated hub for high-concept electronic music and interdisciplinary art. The imprint is celebrated for its DIY ethos, independent spirit and carefully crafted physical releases with highest aesthetic demands. Vinyl, cassettes, and hand-stamped editions reflecting his love for tangible listening culture.

In our interview, Ketzer speaks about this affection for nostalgic media and how it also informs his visual work. As a designer, he plays a key role in developing the Matter of Fact vinyl pressing plant’s corporate identity, bringing the same sensitivity for form, texture, and storytelling that defines his music. He also shares insight into another creative pursuit: Jaja Du Jour, the wine distribution business he runs with his wife. For Ketzer, selecting bottles parallels curating a label. Valuing patience, craftsmanship, personal relationships, and the joy of discovering something worth sharing.

Analog Session #04

We are very happy to present you Schwerins Ron Albrecht from the great Dystopian collective. He has achieved many things, but experience shines through them all. He's founded his own club (Gerberei in Schwerin), helped run a record store (Easytraxx), produced and released on labels including Dystopian & Sind Musik, played in some of the most legendary techno clubs (Berghain, Tresor) and started his own vinyl-only label with Stefan Rein (Pure Traxx). His sets highlight this overwhelming dedication to techno; effortlessly blending dubbier cuts with gritty stompers, combining the Detroit and Berlin schools with class and confidence.
