With Answer Code Request | Atypikal (live) | Xyro, let your spirit soar as we dance until dawn with the resident of Berghain and friend of the label accompanied by our very own kids from the block. Patrick Gräser, better known as Answer Code Request, has carved out a distinctive niche in the techno landscape with his hybrid musical style. His innovative approach, characterized by a fusion of pad-driven harmonies, intricate breaks, and an industrial tone, has set him apart since his emergence on the esteemed Ostgut Ton label in 2012. This breakthrough led to a prestigious residency at Berghain, further cementing his influence in the scene. Gräser’s work, including various releases and remixes for notable labels such as Ostgut Ton, MDR, Dolly Deluxe, and Monkeytown Records, has garnered widespread acclaim. Born in the East German town of Fürstenwalde, Gräser's musical roots were planted deep during a transformative era marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall when he was just 9 years old. This period ignited his passion for diverse genres, ranging from hip-hop and acid to early UK hardcore. Growing up alongside Marcel Dettmann and Marcel Fengler, he explored Berlin’s dynamic post-reunification club scene. This varied and rich musical environment, coupled with his early career as a carpenter, provided a broad palette of influences that shaped his signature sound. Gräser's journey from a forest workshop near his hometown to the forefront of techno is marked by his wide-ranging musical tastes. His nights, spent mixing records from Hardwax and Delirium, contributed to the development of his characteristic sound, a blend that includes elements of jungle, drum 'n' bass, Detroit, IDM, and UK bass. This unique amalgamation of styles is evident in his early releases on Music Man and his own ACR imprint, showcasing a talent that transcends traditional techno boundaries.
