In his DJ sets Ben Klock is aiming at creating an atmosphere that is based on a deep sound, accumulating over long phases into something euphoric in order to explode at the end. In brief: Euphoria with a rough bass. Even a party atmosphere where hands are up in the air should include a certain class and a deep undertone. His sound spectrum grasps everything from dry and hearty minimal beats to a heard-opening rave orgasms combining old tracks - may it be Chicago, Detroit or European dance music - with the latest hits. Ben's musical roots are manifold. Being a Berlin based DJ in the 90s Ben Klock played all the regulars like Tresor, WMF and Cookies and by now has a residency at Berghain. For him that is the place that perfectly keeps the idea of a big and excessive techno night and at the same time serves as a gamete for new things. Together with Marcel Dettman he is Dettmann / Klock.
