Stephan Hinz
Stephan Hinz, a Berlin-based composer, producer and live act, saw his career accelerate sharply after his 2014 track Doch landed on Pan-Pot's Second State imprint and became one of that year's standout techno records. His profile on Beatport traces a rise it calls stratospheric following that release, with subsequent EPs and singles continuing to build his catalogue across techno-focused labels including Suara. His remix and original work, including As The Universe Glows, has circulated widely through DJ sets and radio mixes tagged specifically to the German techno scene, reflecting his standing within that circuit.
He also records under the joint alias Hinz & Ruhmhardt, a project the pair describe with characteristic humor as embracing meat, partying and playful bunny costumes alongside serious studio work. His catalogue has appeared on Boiler Room broadcasts and radio programs such as Faze's Stephan Bodzin-hosted mix series, connecting his tracks to the wider live and DJ circuit that plays them. Interviews, including one with German outlet Bonedo, have had him discuss his production gear and workflow as a composer and producer navigating both club and live performance formats.
Hinz continues to release through Berlin's techno label network while his tracks remain fixtures in techno-focused radio mixes and sets.
