Powel

Acerca de Powel

There’s so much levity and buoyancy in Powel’s music that you might be surprised he’s from a small town in East Germany. After he started out with the piano as a kid, he went on to play in bands, producing tracks that got heavy radio play. When he started DJing in 2008, he used his indie, rock and pop roots as seasoning, serving up house music that’s deep, but not dark. Powel toured extensively with his bands and regularly appears at international festivals and clubs - including the Robot Heart bus at Burning Man, Germany’s Fusion Festival, and All Day I Dream parties around the world. Over 20 years of being on the road and all over Berlin’s club scene inform Powel’s tracks, remixes, and sets that all manage to play your heart like a fiddle. Giving you sounds for feelings you didn’t know you had, Powel seamlessly weaves ethereal, dreamy narratives over beats that shake you every which way. His genre-hopping, spanning afterhour clubs to documentary film scores and everything in between, makes his music reliably expert, but always keeps you on your toes. He defies all solitary DJ tropes, constantly forming new collaborations and cranking out new sounds.
