Lineup Dj Pete aka Substance (Berghain / Hardwax) masae (Greynote) d.enigma (Greynote / antispace) Milès Borghese (Squid Recordings / 9FINITY) Olgica (Iskra / Interlude) Paul Junk (Interlude) If you want to trace the beginnings of DJ Pete’s status in Techno culture, you have to go back a very long way. He emerged as a DJ in the pioneering days of the Berlin scene during the late 80s and joined Hard Wax in 1991, which now makes him the longest serving staff member of the legendary record store. As a producer he made his name with the first release on Chain Reaction in 1995, together with René Löwe aka Vainqueur as Scion. Substance, the acclaimed alias DJ Pete uses for his own productions has a back catalogue of highly influential solo efforts and acclaimed remixes for pivotal Techno artists like Juan Atkins, Regis, Robert Hood, Monolake or Shed. DJ Pete earned similar respect behind the decks, combining highly individual mixing skills with his vast knowledge of Techno history and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds. His sets incorporate elements of pure Techno, the Hard Wax tradition and powerful House tracks. His scope is informed by frequent Dynamic Tension nights at Tresor in the late 90s with Surgeon and his residency at Berghain since its opening. He is also known to merge Techno with Dubstep and selecting Reggae, particularly while working the mighty Killasan sound system at Wax Treatment events.
