Surgeon - DYNAMIC TENSION / COUNTERBALANCE / DOWNWARDS / TRESOR
Surgeon has been at the forefront of UK techno since 1992, emerging from Birmingham his work is inseparable from the city’s industrial spirit and deep-rooted underground culture. Surgeon helped pioneer Birmingham’s legendary House of God party and held a pivotal 3 year residency at Tresor (Berlin) in the early 90s. He has maintained a long-term relationship with the institution, including recent albums 'Shell~Wave' & 'Crash Recoil' released on Tresor Records. The recording of Surgeon & DJ Pete's 5 hour set in Tresor's Globus room for the 30 Years of Surgeon event is well worth a listen.
With decades of influence on the global underground and international respect, Surgeon represents a commitment to authenticity & a sound that continues to sharpen rather than soften.
DJ Pete aka Substance - CHAIN REACTION / OSTGUT TON / SCION VERSIONS
DJ Pete, also known as Substance, has been a constant driving force in shaping electronic music for the past 30 years. Emerging as a DJ in Berlin’s early techno days in the late 1980s, he became part of the formative underground movement that helped define the city’s sound. His early production work with René Löwe (aka Vainqueur) on Chain Reaction defined dub-techno in its early stages. DJ Pete has a deep and longstanding connection with Berghain since the iconic techno institution's early days; as a resident DJ & with contributions to the Ostgut Ton, the club's influential in-house label.
With decades of experience behind the decks and in the studio, DJ Pete remains a quiet but commanding presence — deeply respected by peers and audiences. Whether performing solo or in collaborative settings, he brings a sense of integrity to his sets, embodying a dedication to techno as an evolving culture rather than a passing trend.
