LARS HUISMANN
Friday August 8th - Doors 10 pm - 21+
Berlin’s own Lars Huismann is not just a DJ — he’s a technician of rhythm, a craftsman of raw energy, and one of the most consistent producers in the new wave of European techno. Emerging from the underground with a deep respect for the genre’s roots, Lars has been steadily building a catalog that bridges early 2000s techno with modern precision.
With a foundation in jazz drumming, his productions are rhythmically dense, layered with tribal percussion, sharp synth patterns, and a Detroit-inspired edge. His DJ sets are fast, dynamic, and percussive — known to push dance floors deep into the night while always keeping things hypnotic and driving.
Over the past few years, Lars has made major noise with his “Sounds From The Past” trilogy on Mutual Rytm — a label that’s become synonymous with the resurgence of functional, groove-heavy techno. The trilogy explores multiple subgenres — from dub techno atmospheres to Latin tribal patterns — all delivered with punch and clarity.
Most recently, in June 2024, he dropped Catharsis — a concept EP that reflects his evolution toward a sharper, more minimal direction, while still honoring the “old school” textures that shaped his identity.
Whether behind the decks or in the studio, Lars is part of a rare breed of artists pushing techno forward without losing sight of where it comes from.
