Patrick Gräser, AKA Answer Code Request, was one of the defining producers of Berghain’s second generation. First emerging in the early 2010s, Gräser was producing industrial-strength techno influenced by the hardcore continuum, serving Berlin techno with a twist of UK rave and ’90s IDM. As a resident of the Berlin club, he was an heir apparent to mentor Marcel Dettmann — only instead of Dettmann’s penchant for EBM and new wave, it sounded like Gräser had spent formative years clubbing on Fridays during the Sub:stance heydays. The pair of records he released during that period — 2014’s Code and 2018’s Gens — remain high watermarks of the Ostgut Ton catalogue.
New LP Halo picks up where Gens left off.
