DJ Spit

Berlin-based selector DJ Spit has been interested in electronic music from a young age and regularly draws inspiration from a wide range of electronic genres fluctuating from techno and bass music all the way to classic electro, enabling his nasty sounding gritty groove soundtrack. In 2018, the young artist emerged as a fresh talent pushing a hybrid of electro and tribal techno battering at the edges of gabba, acid, trance and amen-infused breaks, heard in the majority of his fast-paced sets.

Spit’s fast mixing style has enabled him to grace the floors of esteemed clubs such as Berlin’s Griessmuehle, Tresor and Berghain’s Säule, defining a hardcore streak of intensive club music meddling with the extremes of hard dance. Clocking appearances at Jaded’s after hour raves in London, Boiler Room sessions at the likes of Leipzig’s Distillery and other venues across Europe, Spit’s appearances on Rinse FM France and Uncanny Valley podcast, as well as mixes for Possession and Reaktor, have cemented his name as one of the most exciting contemporary acts.

Currently boasting a residency deep within the badlands of Denmark’s fast-techno scene at Copenhagen’s Endurance party, Spit is in the process of launching his very own label Verteiler, set to deliver some uncompromising music. Keep an eye out.
