Ben Klock

來自柏林的DJ、制作人、廠牌老板Ben Klock無疑是當(dāng)今Techno音樂史上最具影響力的人物。作為柏林超級俱樂部Berghain的駐場，他自2004年便隨著俱樂部的開業(yè)一同聲名鵲起。而Berghain俱樂部在全球跳舞俱樂部景致中無比至上的地位也為Ben Klock在DJ和制作方面提供了無限的機(jī)會(huì)與可能。同時(shí)他也憑借自己獨(dú)具催眠效應(yīng)的、重型的、絕妙無比的演出現(xiàn)場和他在如Ostgut Ton、Bpitch Control、以及他于2006年自己創(chuàng)建的廠牌Klockworks下發(fā)表的眾多驚石杰作，而獲得了在全球Techno DJ界首屈一指的地位。?
在過去幾年中，Ben Klock的作品，無論是獨(dú)自創(chuàng)作還是于與排擋Marcel Dettmann（另一位柏林出身的電音巨星）的合作，幾乎首首都是新一代Techno DJ的唱片箱中必定收藏的舞池圣歌。2009年2月，他的新專輯在Ostgut Ton廠牌下的成功發(fā)表，標(biāo)志著他在電音創(chuàng)作領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)登上了一個(gè)無人能及的全新高度。另一方面，他的演出現(xiàn)場就如同對90年代的經(jīng)典Techno進(jìn)行一場新式的洗禮，不僅為Techno這種已經(jīng)存在超過20年的音樂類型帶來一股新鮮浪潮，更為他贏得了全球新老舞迷們頂禮膜拜。?
Biography
by Andy Kellman
A techno producer who thrives most when using stripped-down tracks shaded with darker hues, Berlin's Ben Klock debuted in 1998 as Ben E. Clock with a 12" on his own short-lived Clockworks label. His modest beginning continued with a 2000 12" on WMF, but in 2003 he released a pair of singles -- "Glow" and "Tag der Arbeit" -- on Ellen Allien's BPitch Control. That allegiance significantly increased his exposure. After a pair of releases on BPitch sublabel Memo, Klock and Marcel Dettmann collaborated on the 2006 maiden release for Ostgut, the label branch of Berlin's Berghain nightclub. Successive Ostgut singles, especially February 2007's "Czeslawa"/"Warszawa," ramped up the anticipation for the first Klock full-length. One, the third production album released on Ostgut (following almost universally praised releases from Shed and Prosumer + Murat Tepeli), was issued in March 2009.
