Berghain heavyweights DVS1, Answer Code Request and Doms & Deykers feature on Ostgut Ton's 10th anniversary compilation, reissued individually in 2016. This is serious Berghain techno from the label that defined the sound of contemporary Berlin - dense, minimal, hypnotic.

Ostgut Ton's decade milestone brought together the core players shaping the club's uncompromising aesthetic. DVS1's contribution is deliberately stripped back, Answer Code Request delivers the kind of fractured, brittle techno they've built their reputation on, while Doms & Deykers add their own textural depth. No filler, no concession to trend.

If you're after the sound that actually matters in Berlin right now - not the filtered versions exported for festivals and boutique listening parties - this is where to start.
