A resident at Berghain since its opening in 2004, he has been able to leave his mark on the club’s unique sound, in turn the special space influenced Klock’s approach as a DJ and producer as well.
Playing techno sets full of hypnotic, deep and heavy grooves, releasing records on Ostgut Ton and last but not least the aesthetics of his own label Klockworks (founded in 2006), have earned him an excellent international reputation over the last few years. Supported by stringent and enthralling tracks, remixes for such diverse artists as Kerri Chandler, Martyn or Depeche Mode, the revered debut album “One” on Ostgut Ton and his Berghain mix, Ben Klock’s name is synonymous with the vitalization of an essential definition of techno.
His music is free of crippling nostalgia and rather wins you over with consistency, tension, and dynamics and time and time again with a sensibility, one would usually expect from house music. In this vein, Klock pursues an unexacting fusion of quantum jumps and tradition – including effortless melodies or hook lines. Being able to harmonize this method of industrial austerity, natural musicality and an impressive physicality is Ben Klock’s great art and skill.
And of course his monthly marathon sets at Berghain that escort all what’s being said with pure sound and consistently motivate Ben Klock to skip the trapdoor called routine.

such a distinctive sound that has been playing (in my head) since I was a child....this amazing track revives a familiar sense of an eerie romantic comfort. A beauty which i've embraced, but never fully understood.
to label this merely "music" is criminally unjust....
if i was asked "what your life was like by describing it with a song?" my answer would be this one....and i would be totally content with just that...

You described the feeling quite well so thank you.

OMFG. I can't tell you where this takes me.....I'll get censored, but I'll try. -An inner part of me transcends to a place I believe does not exist.... cause I never get there. A part of me screams in oblivious ecstasy through the whole tripp. I can't get there. I can't stop screaming. I absolutely effin love it. I play this, and I leave, I'm gone. Instant takeoff. This is wet. This is deep. This is MUZIK.

Ben's top line synths and higher perc's are consistently different to other producers.
They stand out. Quirky, often resonated, often syncopated, always awesome.
Sir Donald Dust
By top line synths, I was not referring to the type of synth he uses. I don't know and don't care what synth or plugin he uses. I was not saying 'top of the line' synths!!
I could have worded it differently.
I meant to say, the synth that are playing the 'top line' in the track, ie the higher line, higher notes of the track, are always different in sound to other artist and are often quite quirky sounding, but are always very good.
