Hear The History Of One Of Berlin's Most Important Labels With These 10 Vital Records
Killekill’s Nico Deuster introduces you to the label with a selection of essential tracks.
Make no mistake: Berlin techno is serious business. One label, however, has always shunned the stone-faced aesthetics and entrenched musical trends of the Hauptstadt’s favorite genre. Nico Deuster’s label, Killekill, has been operating for ten years and still hasn’t settled on any particular sound. Whether releasing electro, Detroit-inspired house jams or raw, pulverizing techno, Killekill has never been concerned with what a Berlin label “should” sound like.

Instead, Killekil has gone its own way, leading to dozens of remarkable releases, countless parties, and even the founding of seminal Berlin festival Krake. The label’s roster reads like a who’s-who of underground dance culture over the decade, including names like Umwelt, the late Andreas Gehm and Cassegrain & Tin Man.
