Pan-Pot live history: techno • minimal techno
Pan-Pot, the Berlin-based techno duo consisting of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, are renowned for their dark, driving sound that masterfully blends techno and minimal techno with experimental and industrial elements. Since their debut in 2005, they have become key figures in the global electronic music scene, known for their powerful productions and dynamic live sets that showcase a deep understanding of the dancefloor. In recent endeavors, Pan-Pot has been actively expanding their creative universe through their new label and event series, HUMAN, launched in 2025. This platform aims to bridge raw, driving techno with emotional and human elements, and has hosted showcases in various cities including Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Zurich. They closed out 2025 with the release of their single 'Phantaxxxy' on the HUMAN imprint, following other recent singles like 'KALTSTROM,' 'OPERA (Street Parade Anthem),' 'Nightcode,' and 'TDD'. Pan-Pot also continues their extensive touring, with upcoming performances scheduled in various locations across Europe and a global tour planned for South America and Asia in 2026. In 2024, they celebrated 30 years of Time Warp with an ARTE livestream performance. Their 2023 project FORTE marked their 20th anniversary, reflecting their evolving sound and experiences.
