DJ-ing is a much tougher task than the vast majority of people give it credit for. It’s not only finding, playing and mixing the right music for the right night, it’s doing all of that while analysing the night itself as it happens and seeing if the crowd are feeling it. While also constantly thinking how the set should be changed if it’s not working with the crowd and on a more practical level, dealing with any technical hitches that might come up. Not to mention dealing with unwanted requests from wasted punters and, obviously the most important job of the night, roaring “EVERYBODY PUT YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR” at the right times in the night. It must be a hell of a job juggling all of that, so of course, Pot-Pan do all of that while singing at the same time. They also do it so well that the Berlin duo are basically two of the most respected underground DJ’s in Europe. Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix are absolute naturals at what they do, sneaking in influences from experimental music into their powerful House sound and holding crowds of thousands in the palms of their hands. The European techno scene is at something of an all-time high, so those that stand out are truly the best of the best, and Pot-Pan stand out in a way that makes you excited for those that they’ll influence. There’s truly no higher compliment you can pay any musician and one hopes that they’ll inspire people who can create even half as good a live show as them. Highly recommended.
