Berlin's DJ Tool: Trance meets techno with rave energy.
Based in Berlin, DJ Tool is a prominent selector and co-founder of the Mala Junta collective, a project instrumental in re-contextualizing trance and faster techno within the queer underground. Originally from Denmark, he honed his craft within the Copenhagen Fast Forward scene before establishing himself as a fixture in the German capital. His sets are characterized by a high-velocity blend of old-school foundations, percolating trance, and frenetic techno, often delivered through extended, stamina-focused performances. He is recognized for his vinyl dexterity and has held fabled closing slots at institutions including Bassiani, Basement, and Fold. His sound remains deeply rooted in DIY ethics, prioritizing raw energy and a seamless, propulsive flow that bridges classic rave aesthetics with contemporary club pressure.
