The Birth of Elektrons
“Black Hole” is the debut release for Elektrons, a label born from Hannes Bieger’s quest to carve out his own lane in the overcrowded techno space. This move underscores his evolution from a sought-after producer and performer to a visionary label head. The label is as much a platform for his own music as a declaration of Bieger’s intent to nurture and expand the progressive techno sounds that have earned him a global following.
But the significance of “Black Hole” extends beyond its role in launching Elektrons…
