Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Patient, dry-grooved techno and house with long melodic lines, soft-focus pads, and a restrained club pulse. The Lawrence side leans deeper and more emotive than his Sten alias, with enough swing for daytime dancing and enough atmosphere to sit in a headphones set.

More about Lawrence

Peter M. Kersten is the Hamburg producer behind Lawrence and Sten, and he co-runs Dial with Carsten Jost. Dial and his early-2000s releases placed him in the German minimal-house orbit, with links to Kompakt-adjacent club music and the Golden Pudel/Hamburg scene.
