Len Faki — Boiler Room Berlin, 2014

Live capture of Len Faki’s DJ set for Boiler Room Berlin, on 7 May 2014. A Berlin DJ and producer, an emblematic Berghain resident and head of the Figure label, Len Faki is a central figure in European techno. This closely filmed set, in Boiler Room’s intimate, no-frills club format, restores his precise, physical mixing: straight techno, surgical transitions and a gradual build in tension, surrounded by dancers. A representative document of Boiler Room’s golden age and of the mid-2010s Berlin techno scene. As the tracklist is only partially documented (several unidentified tracks), no verified list is reproduced here. A techno full DJ set to enjoy for lovers of the Berlin sound, Berghain and electronic live captures. A reference live for understanding the art of the techno mix in a club setting. The Boiler Room format, where the crowd surrounds the booth, redefined how DJ sets were filmed in the 2010s. This Berlin session is an emblematic example, to watch from start to finish.
