Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Tight, rolling techno with deep pressure, clipped percussion, and long-build tension. He favors stripped arrangements that still carry melody and house-inflected swing, usually aimed at a locked-in peak-time room rather than a flashy display.

More about Ben Klock

Klock has been a Berghain resident since 2005 and sits at the center of Berlin’s modern techno circuit. He runs Klockworks, launched in 2006, and his catalogue includes the 2009 debut album 'One' on Ostgut Ton, plus records and collabs with Marcel Dettmann and Fadi Mohem.
