RESIDENTS

Chris is originally from a small industrial town near Frankfurt. There he worked long shifts on weekends at a local iron foundry. When he moved to Berlin in early 2017, he quickly fell in love with the unique vibe of Berlin's techno scene. The music, the community, and the energy of dancing inspired him to buy a controller and teach himself how to mix. He wanted to feel what it felt like to be the one behind the decks leading the crowd.

Over the next few months, he had his first gigs and founded the Beschäftigungstherapie party series with his friend Justus. After trying different styles of music like progressive house and melodic techno, he finally found his home in dark, minimal techno. Over the past few years, he has developed himself and his parties into a fixture in Berlin's underground clubs.


Besides the big Berlin clubs like Kater Blau, Kitkat and the legendary Bucht, he also played numerous clubs and festivals worldwide from Munich to Bangkok.

justUS - that means something like: my music and stories for everyone - just us!

Born and raised in Berlin, he was drawn back to the hometown of techno after an exciting and inspiring time away from home, on the high seas. In 2018 he founded the collective 'Beschäftigungstherapie' with his partner in crime - the name says it all!

The party series established itself as successfully as the podcast series in the Berlin underground. His references include the colorful bouquet of the Berlin club scene. He is also a permanent fixture and resident at Ritter Butzke. Musical excursions to other European capitals, but also more exotic places such as Guatemala City, Uganda and Rwanda have influenced him in the past.

His music can be described as impulsive, profound and melodic narratives - progressive and driving melodic techno beats consolidate the story he tells you. Let the sailor to the helm, give yourself fully to the musical journey around the world.
