We are proud to present German techno legend Paul Kalkbrenner for Karrusel 2025

There are only few artists that represent Berlin techno as much as Paul Kalkbrenner. With his epic live shows, he has been showcasing his signature melodic and melancholic techno across the globe, from Sónar to Tomorrowland to a headlining show in front of the Brandenburg Gate for the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

With a decade-spanning career, he boasts an impressive back catalogue, counting releases on Ellen Allien’s BPitch and his own Paul Kalkbrenner Musik. He starred in the cult classic Berlin Calling, for which he produced the soundtrack – including the massive hit ‘Sky and Sand’ featuring his brother Fritz Kalkbrenner’s voice.

Expect progressive lush pads, arpeggiated synths, and deep basslines when Paul Kalkbrenner offers a live show like no other on the first day of Karrusel!
