At Distillery

Lars Christian Müller & Andreas Eckhardt – Think outside the Box



You listen to tekno, you feel tekno, easier said, you live tekno”. If you were to ask Andreas what does electronic music mean to him, this could be something he would say.

Born in Leipzig, Andreas won two free tickets for a tekno party in Berlin in 1991 from a radio station program “Marusha’s”. At that time he was a hiphop and breakdance fanatic and cannot explain why he went to Berlin for this tekno party, but he did. Maybe a little curiousity and also to visit the reunited Berlin, it was october 1991. There he was somewhere in Berlin at a tekno party which was a turning point and a very influential moment, which inspired him to delve into this scene.

Although a love for electronic music was already there, if you saw his vinyl collection, ranging from Depeche Mode, to Jean-Michel Jarre to Kraftwerk to Tangerine Dream. A love for this music developed into a passion and the rest is history. His talent and enthusiasm for tekno was discovered by event organisers who helped organise his first gig. Other gigs followed in “Basis Leipzig” and in the “old” Distillery which helped him gather experience and make a name for himself.

In the mid-nineties, Andreas played at all the big events, parties and clubs in many regions in the middle of Germany. He is a resident DJ in the Distillery since 2001 and since 2002, has been working with his good friend Chris Manura organising the party series ''Finest Selection''. Together with dan Drastic from Moon Harbour, he also produces kick-ass tracks for the dancefloor. Watch out!!!

With an intuitive flair for the perfect mix of pumping, melodic and trippy sounds, Lars is using music to emotionally move and enthral his audience. Growing up with the synth aesthetics of the 80s and the energetic, atmospheric trance sounds of the 90s, these sonic landscapes still inspire him and are reflected in his sets to this day. With his unique style, he creates a distinct and unparalleled atmosphere right from the start of his performances. His work as a DJ, producer, event organizer and label founder has made him a sought-after name not only in his hometown of Leipzig but also beyond.
