Schrotthagen is a German techno producer duo consisting of film composer Dieter Schleip and music producer Giovanni Berg. They are known for their characteristic cinematic techno style, which combines driving electronic beats with epic, cinematic soundscapes, lending club music a new emotional depth. Their tracks feel like soundtracks for imaginary films: dark, suspenseful, and hypnotic at the same time. Schrotthagen combine precise production with narrative arrangements to create an atmosphere that works both on large festival stages and in dark clubs. Between monumental drops, subtle melodies, and cinematic arcs of tension, they develop a sound that clearly sets them apart from classic techno. In 2026, Schrotthagen will bring their unique approach to DEICHBRAND, where they will demonstrate how powerful electronic music can be when it combines sound, emotion, and dramaturgy into a cohesive experience.
