3 Phase feat. Dr. Motte – Der Klang Der Familie
Wet&Hard Rewix
Der Klang Der Familie is one of the foundational tracks of Berlin techno. In 2002, as the Loveparade reached its final peak, Mark Reeder initiated a collaboration with Silver Planet to revisit seminal works in electronic music. Among them was this reinterpretation – produced as a tribute to Berlin’s sonic history and framed through the Wet&Hard aesthetic.
The remix was produced specifically for the Loveparade. Its debut took place during one of the most widely attended editions of the event. Our float featured sets from Mijk van Dijk, Namito, Alex Flatner, Roberto Ingram, Cybersecrecy, and James Holden. Der Klang Der Familie (Wet & Hard Rewix) remains one of the few reinterpretations of a classic that entered circulation during the event itself. It carried the sound of Berlin forward.
The remix was developed at Narodni Podník 4, my home studio at the time. The direction was clear: to build a version that retained the original’s function but restructured its form—more organic, more percussive, aligned with our Wet&Hard method. I integrated live bongo textures and built an extended intro in coproduction with Mark Reeder. The rhythm sequence was influenced by my track Pornoground – particularly the percussive, layered approach. The Wet&Hard Rewix was cut to dubplate prior to its official release and delivered directly to Dr. Motte. He premiered it during his set on the Stern at Loveparade 2002.
