BergWacht: Recent Episodes
BergWacht
In 2008, Denis Lihotzky and Max Keck noticed a void in the Cologne underground music scene. So the two friends decided to start a project with the aim to fill that void: to provide Cologne with a regular event, which focuses on Melodic Techno. As an ode to their homeland, the Oberbergischer Land, they named their event Bergwacht or “Mountain Rescue”, and began to host parties once a month in Cologne’s Artheater. Denis “Liho”, who not only manages its bookings, but is also Bergwacht’s resident DJ, programs each event with an eye for upcoming talent and an ear for extraordinary music. Bergwacht’s guest DJs continue to attract a loyal and energetic audience, and by 2012, Bergwacht has become an important part of the Cologne underground Techno scene. Continuing to follow their passion, in September of 2012, the Oberbergischer troupe launched Bergwacht Records as an outlet to curate and present the music they love most, “Melodic Techno”. Their debut release features Max Keck and his longtime friend and collaborator Sven Kirchner as Tool..8 with remixes by Lanny May and Boss Axis. Bergwacht releases will be available on Vinyl and as digital download. Open your ears and let Bergwacht rescue you.

The belgian producer duo Pedro Mercado & Karada created two nice Melodic Techno tracks for our label, in addition strong Remixes were made by Rauschhaus and Catom. The release was supposed to come out, then the pandemic started and everything closed. We decided to wait with the release until the club life would start again. So it's finally time to release it and go further with our label business.

Alessandro Diga, a young talented dutch artist, delivers 3 solid techno tracks for the fifth release on the BergWacht record label. “Phaedra” starts with a great bassline and goes into a warm melodic techno track with a lot of emotions, dreamy synths and it goes along with a clear hihat. The track is able to be dreamy and not cheesy at the same time. “Sonora” is grounded on a rolling bassline and clear hi-hats as well, it goes over in nice effects with outstanding breaks, but it finds back to the starting rhythms. “Dahlia” the hidden B-2 track transmits a deep journey with melancholic feelings.

Alessandro Diga, a young talented dutch artist, delivers 3 solid techno tracks for the fifth release on the BergWacht record label. “Phaedra” starts with a great bassline and goes into a warm melodic techno track with a lot of emotions, dreamy synths and it goes along with a clear hihat. The track is able to be dreamy and not cheesy at the same time. “Sonora” is grounded on a rolling bassline and clear hi-hats as well, it goes over in nice effects with outstanding breaks, but it finds back to the starting rhythms. “Dahlia” the hidden B-2 track transmits a deep journey with melancholic feelings.

Even though the Gazel EP is his first ever solo release on vinyl, Ümit Han performs, produces, and talks about music as if he has already released 19 records. A longtime supporter and visitor to the Cologne music scene, Ümit is a talented artist, one of the few who produces and performs using only a selection of his favorite analogue gear. So much gear in fact, he has a crew tag along with him to gigs just to help carry the various synthesizers, mixers, and effects processors. He takes music very seriously, his passion is clear, the love is there, and for his first solo outing on vinyl he joins Cologne's leading Melodic Techno event series turned label; Bergwacht. A perfect fit.
Early support from: Danny Tenaglia, Tiga, Sasha, DJ Hell, Eelke Kleijn, Marc Poppcke, Henry Saiz, Bookashade, Misstress Barbara, Roger Sanchez, Sasse, Daniel Bortz, Solee, Danito, Logiztik Sounds, Alessandro Diga, TooL8, PHM, Alex Preda, Luke Warren, Noraj Cue, Sezer Uysal, Tim Engelhardt, Patrick Muschiol, Dale Middleton, Aiden, Steve Parry, Chris Fortier, Lonya, Moosefly, Brodanse, Martin Garcia and many more.
The Gazel EP demonstrates exactly what a debut solo EP should; an artist's versatility. Ümit has delivered four productions that sound quite unique from one another, but altogether create a gracefully balanced EP that has it all. Deep and dreamy (Makta) meets dark and rough (Candan) meets hypnotic (Beyt-Ül Gazel) meets Cologne-fueled melodic brilliance (Matla). The opening track alone contains enough harmonic elements to land this EP into the crate of every DJ that favors the likes of Ananda or Babicz. Han, borrowing elements from some of our favorite hymns from some of our favorite artists has created something that feels familiar, but is undeniably his own.
And this is only the beginning…The New Sound of Cologne is coming.
