There must be something in the water where ANSWER CODE REQUEST’s Patrick Gräser grew up, as he and labelmates Marcel Dettman and Marcel Fengler have all come to the forefront of techno. Gräser will play live, bringing his dynamic, atmospheric electro. Rising star KOBOSIL, fresh off an impressive remix for Barker & Baumecker and in advance of his own Unterton 5 EP, rounds out the bill.
