Schrotthagen, a techno duo formed in 2023 by Giovanni Berg (28) and Dieter Schleip (62, multi-award-winning composer and winner of the Grimme Preis), is shaking up the electronic music scene. Drawing on their roots in classical music, jazz, punk, and film composition, they blend cinematic storytelling, hard techno, and trance to create a unique sound.
Their album Sturm und Drang launched a sold-out European tour and paved the way for international collaborations, including with the American agency United Talent Agency. They have performed at the Ultra Festival in the US and in their native Germany. Now appearing at numerous festivals across Europe and the Americas, they are establishing themselves as major players on the techno scene.
Their immersive shows, fueled by their cinematic experience, appeal to a global audience. With over 500,000 followers on Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok, the duo attracts fans far beyond the techno circle and receives support from media outlets such as FAZEmag and Mixmag.
Innovative and visionary, Schrotthagen is already establishing itself as one of the key names in the future of electronic music.
