About
Arch-provocateur DJ Hell (or simply Hell) is one of the most revered and influential figures in the history of electronic music. Active in club culture since the late '70s, he has participated in and/or helped cultivate the development of underground dance movements ranging from house and techno to electroclash. He is perhaps known foremost as a DJ, given that he has held residencies at numerous high-profile venues and, during the '90s and 2000s, routinely placed second in polls conducted by German magazines Groove and Spex. Hell's DJ mixes, starting with 1995's X-Mix-5 (Wildstyle), include volumes for !K7 and Tresor. A few years before his commercial mix debut, Hell started to make a name for himself as a producer with tracks such as "My Definition of House Music" and the full-length Geteert & Gefedert. His lengthy discography is additionally highlighted by projects like 1998's Munich Machine and 2003's NY Muscle, followed by 2009's Teufelswerk, 2017's Zukunftsmusik, and 2020's House Music Box (Past Present No Future). Hell has filled crucial roles behind the scenes as an A&R man and/or head of revered labels such as Disko B, Logic Records, and International Deejay Gigolos.
