About

Various Artists (Torsten Pröfrock) also known as T++ and Dynamo, is the forward-thinking mind behind 20 years of genre shaping and defining techno music, out of his base at Hard Wax record store in Berlin.

From early appearances on FatCat Records under his Various Artists alias, to dub techno blueprint setting work on Chain Reaction, using his Erosion moniker, via proto-dubstep as Dynamo. Then onto his role as half of legendary production unit Monolake. Torsten’s music had an defining impact on the course of techno and rhythm based electronica, that can be considered as influential as the work of Autechre, SND, Basic Channel or Photek.

T++ has only played a handful of live shows recently, at Fabric and Berghain.
