Pan-Pot

Pan-Pot are Berlin-based techno producers Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, who met while studying audio engineering at the SAE Institute. Their early connection grew through a shared interest in techno and the city’s club culture, including a series of parties that helped introduce them to the scene. The duo’s sound has been associated with minimal techno, but their productions also draw on house and experimental electronics. They began releasing music in the mid-2000s, building a close relationship with Mobilee Records and Berlin’s network of producers.

Their 2007 debut album, Pan-O-Rama, marked a defining moment, bringing together a broad view of techno and yielding the track “Charly.” Subsequent releases expanded their reach, while their second album, The Other, and later productions continued to balance peak-time force with more intricate atmospheres. Pan-Pot also run Second State, a label that extends their curatorial work beyond their own records. Touring remains central to their identity: the pair have played clubs and festivals worldwide, carrying their studio-built sound into large-scale live settings.
