In recent years, Berlin has been the cradle of much progressive techno music. Techno project Porter Ricks can be seen as a pioneer and the most important exponent of this. The members Andy Mellwig and Thomas Köner conceive in techno as a pan-sensory experience in which physical movements and rhythmized sound structures synthesize. During the Impakt party they perform with a mixture of bare tech music, electronic and minimalist textures.
