Nick Höppner

Nick Höppner balances, explores and contributes to a dramatically wide range of musical professions, proving him to be one of the backbones of today’s techno and house underground. Be it through his residency at Berghain, Panoramabar and Watergate, his solo releases for Liebe*Detail and Ostgut Ton, his acclaimed co-production and live performance alongside Lee Jones as MyMy or his creative involvement and management of the Ostgut Ton label since its inception, Nick stands out as a unique, long-serving and truly dedicated figure in today’s electronic music world.

As a producer and DJ, Höppner displays all the characteristics of a life-long music lover. Sensitive to the history, emotions, stories and situations that derive from this music, for Nick the scope and eclecticism available within the 4/4 rhythm allows him great freedom to express his tastes and musical instincts. Throughout his two solo 12''s on Ostgut Ton, we find lush, uplifting house ('Violet'), deeply melodic techno dub sessions, spooky percussive workouts ('Makeover') and lashings of richly produced musical statements.

To immerse one's self within Nick's typically extended DJ sets rewards similar multi-faceted discoveries. Always telling a tale, weaving an exciting path across his chosen musical spectrum - whether it's a tough, raw and energetic house-party set, a dramatic big-room techno adventure, or anything in between - Nick's mature, confident approach and depth of character sets him apart from his contemporaries behind the decks.
