Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Will Clarke sits down with Cinthie to talk about her journey through Berlin’s club scene, her deep connection to record store culture, and why community still matters in dance music. She reflects on growing up in Germany, watching Berlin evolve, and what makes the city’s nightlife feel different from anywhere else. Lastly, she shares why supporting other people’s music and staying true to her values has kept her grounded in an increasingly commerical industry.

Who is Cinthie: German producer, DJ, label and record store owner Cinthie is one of the most sought-after artists in contemporary electronic music, often referred to as the Berlin Queen of House after a decade of nonstop global touring. Her deep knowledge of house music comes from a vinyl collection built since 1995, with DJ sets that connect the swing of New York, the rawness of Chicago, and the energy of Berlin through stripped-back, emotive grooves. In the studio, she has spent over 20 years crafting timeless house music on labels like Heist, Aus Music, and her own 803 Crystal Grooves, alongside releases such as her debut album Skylines City Lights and her standout DJ-Kicks mix. Beyond the booth, Cinthie continues to push boundaries with live shows at events like Sonar and Mutek while running Elevate.Berlin, a handpicked record store that reflects her commitment to authenticity, community, and proper house music.

Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Will Clarke speaks with Pan-Pot about what it takes to stay creative and grounded after more than 20 years in electronic music. They discuss why they never chased mainstream fame, how their definition of success has changed, and why connection with the crowd matters more than numbers. Lastly, Pan-Pot explains how their HUMAN project has become a creative reset, centered on presence, connection, and making music without expectations

Who are Pan-Pot: Who is Pan-Pot: Comprising the dynamic duo Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, Pan Pot has carved out a unique niche in the electronic music landscape. In 2025, the legendary techno pair launched HUMAN, both a label and an event series, marking a new chapter in their journey. HUMAN bridges raw techno energy with something deeper, delivering a sound that is emotional, warm, and unapologetically human, with a clear focus on connection through music and on placing feeling back at the center of the dancefloor rather than chasing fleeting trends. This year shows no signs of them slowing down as they continue to expand their creative universe through HUMAN, which has already hosted standout events in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and the official Street Parade afterparty in Zurich that drew over 1.3 million attendees. Following the release of singles “OPERA (Street Parade Anthem),” “Nightcode,” “TDD,” “KALTSTROM,” and "Phantaxxxy" marks another powerful evolution in Pan Pot’s ever shifting sonic identity.
