Ben Klock

Ben Klock, born in 1972, is a renowned Techno DJ with a longstanding association with Berlin's iconic club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has been instrumental in his international success, allowing him to create an immersive atmosphere rather than merely play to the crowd. Klock's signature style is characterized by intricate narratives and a sense of flow, evident even in his more compact sets. He gained recognition for his marathon sets early in his career but continues to captivate audiences with his skillful DJing. His releases on Ostgut Ton have left indelible marks on the label's history, such as "Dawning" (2009), a collaboration with Marcel Dettmann that kickstarted the imprint itself. His album One (2009) is often cited as showcasing his production talents at their best. As a remixer, he has worked on tracks by various artists including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, and Robert Hood. Klock also runs Klockworks, a label he founded in 2006, which is synonymous with unique, high-quality Techno releases from artists like DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, and more. In 2017, he launched the PHOTON event series, combining light, architecture, and music for a distinctive audio-visual electronic music experience. Recent releases include Layer One (2024) and Layer One Remixes (2025), both on LAYER Records. His style remains Hard yet always with a Heart.
