We're back from sunning (or burning in the case of some) ourselves and of course working thoroughly during this year's Sonar Festival in Barcelona. So still being in absolute techno mode, the arrival of Ben Klock's podcast through our letter box couldn't have been timed any better.

Ben Klock is currently one of the main residents at Berghain (below Panorama Bar) in Berlin. Throughout the 90s he spun in the city's top clubs at the time like Cookies, Tresor and WMF, and then when Berghain opened in December 2004, he took on residency to act out his need for more booming techno.

Ben has released a number of EPs on labels such as Bpitch Control, Memo and WMF Records which have shown his ear for some of the more darker & deeper techno sounds, as well as gaining him recognition outside Germany. He has also released a series of EPs on Berghain's fine in-house label Ost-Gut Ton including "Dawning/Dead Man Watches The Clock" and the hypnotic & buidling Scenario both of which he produced with fellow Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann. Ben has put some of his most recent work out on his own label Klockworks, and he is presently putting finishing touches on his debut album due for release in January 2009.
