Mortimer Barten is a techno DJ and music producer from Germany. He has been active as a DJ and live performer for over ten years. He has a unique style characterized by driving beats and hypnotic melodies. His sets are energetic and create an exciting atmosphere on the dance floor. Theres a groove to his sets and sounds that show the love for what he is doing in every beat with a pure dance sound, sometimes melodic, sometimes dark and tecnoid.
Since the mid nineties Mortimer Barten is on the hunt for perfection in sound. Originally starting off as a drummer, he played in several bands, from punk to pop. With the rise of electronic dance music, he quickly fell in love with samplers and drum machines and followed that path. Later on around 2013, he rediscovered the art of djing and keeps a solid collection of vinyl records next to the CDJs. His real love is performing his live set where he plays self-produced music with a compact mixture of hardware synthesizers, controllers and a laptop. It’s live, and it’s still Techno!
As a music producer, Mortimer Barten has released several successful tracks and is continually working on new projects. His music is inspired by the European Techno scene and combines various influences to create his own, unmistakable sound he calls Fusion Techno. With his passion for electronic music and his talent as a performer, Mortimer Barten has made a name for himself. He played regularly at the Funky L.A. series and Kulturbeben events, shaped the sound of clubs like the Grüne Rakete and the ExHaus and is a resident DJ at the infamous villaWuller.
Since 2018, Mortimer supports the local community of producers with an Ableton User Group and, since 2019, guides students and coaches artists on their path as Ableton Certified Trainer.
He leaves no doubt that music is true love or nothing. So let yourself go and listen, or dance, or feel, and nothing more and nothing less.
