Here is the mix I recorded for Chaos Computer Club's virtual conference rc3. Enjoy! The picture is taken from the great visuals by VJ Grobkorn, which I can't upload here unfortunately.

Sven von Thülen at rc3, Dec 2020

Since moving to Berlin in the mid-nineties, Sven von Thülen immersed himself in all things club culture. In the Spring of 1999, he started working as an editor at De:Bug magazine, while also writing for other magazines and newspapers.

As a DJ, he has been a club fixture since the early 2000s, holding residencies at various locations throughout the city and playing regularly at Berghain/Panorama Bar since its inception. He is and has been touring extensively as a DJ, playing hot spots like Concrete in Paris, Robert Johnson in Offenbach, fabric in London or Golden Pudel in Hamburg, as well as festivals like Glastonbury, Nation of Gondwana, Fusion, Garbicz or Melt!. Currently he can be regularly found behind the decks at Heideglühen and STAUB.

He has released various house and techno records both solo and in groups on labels like Spencer Parker's Work Them Records, Ellen Allien's Bpitch Control, John Osborn's Dred Records and his own labels Expansion Unit and Constant Variables. Sven von Thülen has remixed (solo and in groups) A-list DJs/producers like DJ Hell, Ellen Allien or Radio Slave. He continues to work as a DJ, producer and writer.

He co-wrote (alongside Felix Denk) the oral history Der Klang der Familie - Berlin, Techno und die Wende, an in-depth look at the beginnings of Berlin's techno scene in the late eighties and early nineties, which was published in March 2012 by renowned German publisher Suhrkamp. In 2013 a French translation was published, and in October 2014 Sven von Thülen and Felix Denk self-published an English translation called Der Klang der Familie - Berlin, Techno and the Fall of the Wall, followed by a translation into Spanish in November 2015. A Russian translation will be published in late 2019.

The book was turned into a TV documentary called "Wendeklang"/"In This Place Called Techno", for which Sven von Thülen co-wrote the script. He also curated the soundtrack, which featured two of his own original compositions. The documentary was aired on French-German TV station ARTE in July 2014. 

In August 2020 he released his debut album Emanating on Dred Records.

New music and a new music related film projects are on the way for late 2020 and 2021.

⊹ A free-spirited Groöver — Sharing music is her löve language ツ♡

YAö is a DJ and music nerd based in Taiwan, recognized for her groove-driven, high-energy performances and eclectic selections that flow seamlessly from House to Techno, moving fluidly between euphoria and darkness. She often blends playful touches of Indie Dance, Nu Disco, and Tribal elements into her sets, infusing them with quirky charm and a mischievous, offbeat twist. 

Her groove builds in waves of "sway" rather than bursts of "rush" — a refined yet distinctive rhythm that carries the energy of the dancefloor while preserving the artistry and emotional depth of underground music. 

Fueled by passion and a spirit of creative fusion, YAö always brings fresh energy and a unique style to every performance.🪩✨
