Born Michael Korb in Füssen, Bavaria, KlangKuenstler began his music career producing deep house before shifting to raw, industrial techno. Relocating to Berlin in 2012, he immersed himself in the underground scene, refining his signature hard-hitting sound.

With releases on Outworld and his co-founded label Tote Sonne, his tracks—such as Armageddon, Weltschmerz, and Deine Angst—have become defining anthems of modern techno. His performances at major festivals like Awakenings, Verknipt, and Rotterdam Rave showcase his intense, high-speed DJ sets.

Uncompromising in his vision, KlangKuenstler continues to push the boundaries of techno, solidifying his reputation as one of the genre’s most powerful and forward-thinking artists.
