Under Black Helmet
Under Black Helmet, a Lithuanian-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer, brings a raw, industrial-tinged approach to techno that has carried him from a mid-2010s emergence into sets defined by intense, hypnotic rhythm. Since releasing his Mute EP in 2015, his sound has drawn support from labels including MORD, BPitch Control, Flash Records, Emerald and Grüv, several of which have also released his own material. BPitch Control's artist profile describes him as a rising force in forward-thinking techno who consistently guides audiences through profound, deeply textured sets rather than straightforward functional programming.
He has performed at events including a joint set with Neri J at Audra Festival in his native Lithuania, part of a touring schedule that has taken him beyond his home country into the wider European techno circuit. Streaming analytics list his sound as spanning long-tail electro, acid techno and hard techno, reflecting a genre range that shows up across his discography and his club sets alike. His relocation to Berlin placed him within one of techno's key hubs, giving him closer access to the label network and club scene that have supported his rise.
Under Black Helmet continues to build his profile through a combination of original productions and club dates across the European techno circuit.
