For this edition of #technofriday I go back in time for about 10 months. During my shortest visit to Berghain ever, only 5 hours on a late Sunday evening early Monday morning, I had the chance of listening to this Berghain resident, Kassel born, Berlin based artist Efdemin for the very first time.

From my report back then:

...round of Bloody Mary and headed to the Berghain floor to get the last tunes of Function into our ears and to hear Efdemin for a little while. Personally, I've seen this name many times on lineups, but I never heard him play. "He is Good", is what I heard several times from the mouths of those I trust their taste in music. Because of that, I had high expectations and I was pleased when he started with some super cool, none-Berghain like, atmospheric, almost experimental tracks leading into a harder techno sound after about 15 to 20 minutes.

Here and there goosebumps: Check! Happiness: Check!

Still waiting for the next time to hear him live; Early this year, I missed him when he played in De School, the - by far - coolest Amsterdam based club kinda around the corner from where I live.

In the mean time I have to settle for set recordings...
