HOTKUNST
HOTKUNST is a milestone in the Wet&Hard legacy. In 2000, the Wet&Hard sound began to establish itself as a distinct style. As a resident DJ at Berlin’s Excess Club in Kreuzberg, I was shaping this sound through my sets and productions. HOTKUNST, released on Flesh, was a pivotal step in capturing the essence of this unique style on a compilation. This CD became a musical monument, documenting the early days of Wet&Hard and encapsulating the energy of this formative era.
The Creation of HOTKUNST
Working on HOTKUNST was an intensive process of curating tracks that perfectly reflected the Wet&Hard sound. I selected pieces that balanced techno’s raw energy with house’s sensuality, combining them with my own productions. The title HOTKUNST was coined by Mark Reeder – a playful twist on the English pronunciation of “Hot Cunts.” Mark’s manic humor and creativity always added a distinctive edge to our projects, giving this compilation its unforgettable character. For me, HOTKUNST remains a significant milestone in my career. This compilation was an opportunity to unite the vision of a style I helped shape onto a single CD, marking the first chapters of the Wet&Hard legend. It was the moment when the essence of this style became tangible – not just in the clubs but for a broader audience.
An Invitation to Reflect
HOTKUNST is a piece of music history, a monument of Berlin’s subculture, and a milestone for the style that shaped me. In my memoir, I share more about the wild stories from the Excess Club and the origins of Wet&Hard. Dive into the world behind the music and discover the stories that made this style a legend.
