Under9 KL turns 4! In the last 4 years, they've forged a tight-knit community who came through for the love of underground dance music. In between hypnotic grooves and dark heavy beats rattling the basement, they have enjoyed the best company and stories plastered on the stairway. It's been a beautiful twisted journey and they can't wait for Answer Code Request (Ostgut Ton, Berlin) to bring some serious techno therapy to their 4th Anniversary this 31st March.
Both as a DJ and a producer, Patrick Gräser aka Answer Code Request has honed a hybrid musical approach that stands out in a world of uniform four on the floor techno. Melding pad-driven harmonies, intricate breaks and an industrial sonic palette, Gräser has occupied a unique space within the Ostgut Ton cosmos since debuting on the label in 2012 and becoming a Berghain resident shortly thereafter. His various releases and remixes for Ostgut Ton, MDR, Dolly Deluxe and Monkeytown Records continue to be highly sought after. As a DJ, he has taken his bass- and breaks-heavy techno to clubs and festivals around the globe, while remaining an integral part of the Berlin scene.
On his celebrated debut LP “Code” (Ostgut Ton, 2014), Gräser actively sought to push the boundaries of techno. His follow up LP “Gens”, out on Ostgut Ton just last month, exudes a similarly experimental approach, albeit with darker results. Ultimately, Gräser’s musical vision is one that spans styles and decades of dance music without sounding retrospective or all over the map. Together with Notion A (Plus Records/SoulMatters/Technologue), Jason Voon (Technologue) for the night.
