The Ostgut label has grown out of the phenomenal Ostgut club in East Berlin that today is even wider known under the name of its new incarnation Berghain/Panorama Bar. The label was initiated as a platform for Berghain and Panorama Bar's residents as well as other artists the club has grown fond of over the time in its two locations. Stylistically it is open as possible without losing sight of the dance floor. It is strongly linked to the philosophy of the club as it pleases fans of harder techno (Berghain) and playful deep house (Panorama Bar) at the same time. Running just over two years the label has already established a standing far across the city borders with a few mixes, 14 divers Maxi releases, two LPs and a soundtrack for an unique event that took place in the club: Shut Up And Dance! Updated, a ballet presented by the Staatsballet Berlin combining so called 'high culture' of classical ballet with dance music and club culture.

The Double-Album Fünf
was reviewed:
Ostgut Ton celebrates an extraordinary first five years with a fittingly unique release. The entire family of Berghain and Panorama Bar residents and regulars have been invited to create a track for 'Fünf', the massive compilation package marking the label's anniversary.Intended to be more than a randomly assembled collection of tracks, 'Fünf' presented the invited producers with a unique concept - and a challenge: Each of the participating artists received a 4GB sample library of sounds recorded in the Berghain club itself to incorporate into their productions as they saw fit.
These field recordings, created by Ninja Tune artist and professional sound designer Emika, included sounds like the clicking of strobe lights or the sub-bass hum of the club's refrigerators and run like a common thread through the album's diverse range of tracks.
Emika herself provides the programmatic ambient piece 'Cooling Room' as an introductoin, and while Ostgut's more industrial sounding artists like Marcel Dettmann and Luke Slater naturally had it easier to work with the given samples, its even more interesting to witness how producers like Soundstream and Nick Höppner imaginatively handle their source material.
Totalling 26 tracks and offering plenty of striking highlights to appreciate, 'Fünf' is certainly one of 2010's defining releases and a must for all fans of cutting-edge techno and house.
