After 15 years of experience as an event hoster, curator and DJ, Berlin based Desolate Discotheque established himself in the European Techno-EBM-Wave scene.

Back in 2019 he fulfilled his dream by starting his own independent cassette label Crave Tapes and created a platform for new and well known artists from all over the world.

The inspiration he draws from 80's underground electronic music and the goth culture is manifested in his exorbitant, authentic and excessive style - a wild mixture between EBM, Industrial, New Beat, Synthwave, Post-Punk and some Techno. Hear for yourself with mix no. 46 which is packed with dark gems (some of them unrealeased yet)!

After 15 years experience as event hoster, vocalist and DJ, Berlin based Desolate

Discotheque established himself more and more in the European Techno-EBM-Wave
scene. Succeeding debuts in Paris and Athens, he also brought the heat to Tbilisi,
Tunis, Ukraine and so on.

Back in 2019, he fulfilled a personal dream by starting his own independent vinyl and
cassette label, Crave Tapes. With the label he created a platform for new as well as
already known artists from all over the world.

The inspiration he draws from 80's underground electronic music and the goth
culture, is manifested in his exorbitant, authentic and excessive style - a wild mixture
between EBM, New Beat, Synthwave, Post-Punk and some Techno.
