Katermukke

In the vibrant heart of Berlin’s electronic music scene, there existed a safe haven where music transcended boundaries and conventions, where every note was an invitation to explore the uncharted. This was the birthplace of Katermukke, a kaleidoscopic label conceived in 2011 by the visionary Dirty Doering Katermukke is more than just another imprint; it is a sonic journey, an ever-evolving story that unfolds with every release, and a testament to the restless spirit of musical innovation. Within its embrace, Katermukke amalgamates a broad gamut of electronic genres, from the narcotic allure of melodic house to the pounding heartbeats of techno, from the ethereal landscapes of electronica to the infectious rhythms of indie dance, and beyond. Founded by Velten Doering in 2011, Katermukke’s origins are based on what some might call an irrational sense of passion and freedom. Instead of sitting in the subway on his way to work on a Monday morning, Velten joins his pals in his run-down flat for an after-hours, offsetting an unexpected chain of events that would see him and his pals start to organize event series, open bars, and even turn a rundown Berlin backyard into a buoyant club. From here, the rest is history.
