Men of the moment and favours of the month come and go, as the phra-
ses suggest. It’s relatively easy to get a short-term buzz in dance music –
but in these days of limitless downloads and increasing disposability, few
hotshots have got it what it takes to go the distance.
Lützenkirchen is one name that refuse to go away. Munich’s foremost e-
lectro-techno exponent has moved effortlessly between underground and
overground success in recent years – scoring a German Top 10 chart hit
with the huge 3 Tage Wach while putting out a prolific, consistent stream
of cool and credible club tracks, all a decade after he first began produ-
cing. From his huge remixes for the likes of John Digweed and Coburn to
his outstanding 2008 artist album Pandora Electronica, the power and
quality of his productions rarely slip. Meanwhile his acclaimed live sets
continue to grow in reputation, his charismatic stage presence bringing a
breath of fresh air to the usual limp and lifeless laptop workout.
