We are more than excited to introduce the next artist on the Spitzhacke radar: IMHOTEP.

Serbia-born and Germany-based hard techno DJ and producer Imhotep has been forging his musical identity for as long as he can remember. Above all, his one-of-a-kind sonic fingerprint is dynamic and beat-driven, while the mastery of technical skills allows him to smoothly form whole new worlds solely for the purpose of obliterating them.

Imhotep’s killer sets perpetually evoke all the heaviest, most beautiful, twisted, dark, exclusively uncompromising, and raw emotions, all and at once. As anarchy binds itself with progression, the very notions of sanity, melancholy, and chaos begin to modulate, making you question everything but his current wavelength. Once he starts bringing you back from the murky underground depths, it’s impossible to decide whether you want to beg for more or start processing what you’ve just experienced. Join him for a ride next to Unter Tage.

spitzhacke (EN: pickaxe) a tool for breaking hard surfaces with a long wooden handle and curved metal bar with sharp point
____________________________________________

Deep underground lies a place unlike any other, one that defies imagination until you've descended into its depths yourself: Unter Tage. From dawn till dusk, the relentless echo of pickaxes fills the air. The work beneath the surface is harsh, filthy, and deafening.

The first descent into the mines carries a cocktail of fears, a dance with the unknown that lurks within the cavernous depths. Yet, there's a strange allure to the subterranean mysteries of mining operations. The carving of tunnels and shafts into the earth, the extraction of coal amidst the ever-present threat of tragic accidents - collapses, dust, noise, and explosions punctuate the miners' daily routines.

However, the underground world also offers an aesthetic and sensory experience like no other. The juxtaposition of restriction and vastness is heightened by additional elements: unique odors, a harmony of sounds dominated by machinery yet punctuated by the creaking and groaning of rock. The interplay of darkness and illumination further adds to this experience, evoking an undeniable sense of an oppressive feeling.

SPITZHACKE will feature underground artists within the spectrum of harder styles, from hard techno, hard dance, hard trance, hardcore, hardstyle and so forth.
