Barker & Baumecker is the collaboration of two long-standing Berghain/Panoramabar residents: nd_baumecker, who has been a DJ and manager at Berlin's most famous nightclub for years, and Sam 'Voltek' Barker, who runs Berghain's Leisure System night, the regular away game for the UK's electronica and techno elite. The duo's debut EP, 'Candyflip', combines both influences: Baumecker's preference for chord-driven techno and Barker's penchant for broken beats.
Simply perfect ! Luv it !

Addison Groove, Barker & Baumecker, Monolake
Right in time for the weekend here's our selection of this month's highlight releases. And what a great month it has been with new albums by Addison Groove, Vince Watson, Monolake, Soap & Skin, Julia Holter, The Host, and Damon Albarn's Rocket Juice & The Moon more...
Leading up to an entire album by the two scheduled to appear later this year, Barker & Baumecker's 'A Murder Of Crows' is a faultless introduction to their production style. 'Pt. 1' is a remorseless techno banger, its subtle beginnings turning into a full-scale percussive onslaught, whereas 'Pt. 2' shows off their funkier, bouncier side. Perfect.
