About O.B.I.
O.B.I., born Tobias Lüke in the German town of Greven, is a hard techno and schranz DJ and producer who started spinning records at 14 and made his club DJ debut at 18. He won a newcomer contest at Münster's Fusion Club early in his career, a breakthrough that led him to organize his own events under the name TekkTribe, which grew into both a booking agency and, from 2003, a record label. Over more than two decades, O.B.I.
has performed his intense techno sets at clubs and festivals worldwide, developing a sound built on hard-driving beats, rough industrial rhythms and melodic depth that has evolved since the early 2000s. He also records under the alias Schranzformator, releasing tracks like Sunglasses at Night as Schranz edits alongside his O.B.I.-branded material. His label and production work sits under the banner Definition of Hard Techno, reflecting his specialization in the harder end of the techno spectrum.
Booking for O.B.I. runs through Phantom Agency, and he continues to tour internationally two decades after founding TekkTribe, maintaining a consistent presence within Germany's hard techno and industrial scene through both DJ dates and ongoing label releases.
