About this concert
4:00 PM PDT7 Going
Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, the dynamic duo behind Pan-Pot, met at Berlin’s SAE Institute and bonded over their shared passion for techno. Their music blends electronic experimentation with minimal stylings and the murky, ominous sounds that define their name. A defining moment in Pan-Pot’s career came with the release of their debut album, Pan-O-Rama, in 2007. This album offered a unique, 360-degree view of techno, balancing heavy, peak-time club tracks with deeper, intricate atmospherics, and included the hit "Charly." Subsequent tracks like "Confronted" and "Captain My Captain" solidified their reputation as top-tier producers with a timeless production style. In 2014, Pan-Pot launched their own imprint, Second State, which has become a creative platform for their music and that of like-minded artists. This label has brought new names like Amelie Lens, Indira Paganotto, Stephan Hinz, and Michael Klein into the spotlight, expanding Pan-Pot’s influence beyond music to events, art, and fashion. They released their second album, The Other, in 2015 and have crafted high-profile remixes for Carl Cox, Luke Slater, Planetary Assault System, Obscure Shape and Reinier Zonnefeld. Their relentless touring schedule has seen them perform at top clubs and festivals worldwide, including Time Warp, Awakenings, Glastonbury, Kappa Future, and Tomorrowland. Pan-Pot's unparalleled understanding of the dance floor, whether in an intimate club or massive festival, allows them to traverse Techno, House, and everything in between with masterful precision. After years on the biggest stages in electronic music, Pan-Pot released their project FORTE in 2023. The album, marking their 20th anniversary, featured ten tracks, each telling a unique story and reflecting their evolving sound and global experiences. FORTE embodies strength and reflects on their journey, reinvention, and inspirations in a fast-changing world. In 2024, the FORTE album was reimagined with the release of FORTE Remixes by notable artists. Giorgia Angiuli reworked "Utopia" with deep, sonic electricity, while DAST delivered a stirring reinterpretation of "Evolution." LUMI, a rising name in the scene, transformed "Bond" into a blistering track with spiraling melodies and emotive strings. Beyond music, Pan-Pot's influence extends into fashion. They became part of the 2024 Berlin Fashion Week with the Haderlump Show. Their music set the tone for the show, featuring bomber jackets made from recycled parachute fabrics and designs inspired by early 20th-century aviators, blending traditional and contemporary styles. In 2024, Pan-Pot celebrated 30 years of Time Warp with an ARTE livestream performance that showcased their timeless style, characterized by rock-infused sequences, euphoric synths, and cascading white noise. This performance at the legendary Maimarkthalle demonstrated their enduring impact on the techno scene. With no signs of slowing down, Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix continue to push boundaries, solidifying Pan-Pot's place as world-class artists, performers, and tastemakers in the electronic music scene.

Pan-Pot
Pan-Pot
A pan-pot is a simple, workday knob, given to side-to-side flip-flopping and not much else. Pan-Pot, on the other hand, are a brilliant multi-dimensional Berlin duo currently twisting house and techno fans into rapturous fits. In just a few short years, Pan-Pot—comprised of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix—have developed a dominate presence amongst the top tier of electronic dance music, with an ascension paralleling the rise of their native label, mobilee records.

After booking Anja Schneider for an infamously ill-fated party in 2005, the duo established a connection with Schneider’s then recently formed imprint and within weeks had released the Popy and Caste EP on mobilee—their first release and the label’s second. Graduates of Berlin’s SAE, their initial musical efforts placed a primacy on integrating electronic experimentation with minimal stylings while simultaneously establishing the ominous, murky sounds that have since become synonymous with their name. The next few years saw the release of a steady stream of original tracks and remixes on both mobilee and Einmaleins, each demonstrating the duo’s commitment to precise, undulating and kinetic grooves accompanied by a steady expansion of their sonic palate.

The defining moment of their career, however, was the release of their debut artist album, Pan-O-Rama. The first artist album to be released on mobilee, the aptly named Pan-O-Rama provided a stunning 360-degree tour of techno at its most twisted, balancing somber atmospherics with an impeccable lightness of touch. Serving as a playground for their experimental leanings, the album was a definitive statement of Pan-Pot’s past, present, and future: an affirmation of the possibility of a wider sonic spectrum that suggested a move towards stripped-down techno while simultaneously hinting towards a newly developed sense of melody.

When not in the studio writing original material or putting their unique spin on tracks by a myriad of artists, the bad-boys of impassioned, pitch-black techno can be found on the road touring at a near ceaseless level. Their dance floor oriented DJ sets see them playing back to back and are unconstrained by boundaries as they effortlessly transition between techno, house and everything in between, demonstrating an immaculate understanding of the audience’s wants and needs.

Their willingness to expand the components of their productions while staying firmly rooted in what they do best—colossal, haunting techno tracks overflowing with noise and static, throbbing bass lines, and epic builds that manage to be both tasteful and restrained—is only part of what differentiates Pan-Pot from the hordes of other techno producers currently flooding the airwaves. They may name themselves after a piece of gear, but Pan-Pot’s music is ultimately about moving bodies, not knobs, all the while giving way to an unprecedented degree of dynamism on dance floors around the world.
