Who are you ?
I’m Michael, born in 1975, father of 4 and married since 2008.
What’s your background?
I’m not educated in anything, everything in my life is just “learn by doing”.
It’s a blessing and a curse. But for as long as I remember, music has been my passion.
Explain what you do in 100 words
After I closed a company that made living green walls with IoT sensors. It was 4 years of insane hard work, and in the end I lost my passion for it.
I’m driven by creativity, so I just follow my own flow, and try not to get to distracted by “normal” life. So yeah I’m just following my dreams
So now everything is focused around music
How has your practice change over time?
Not much has changed, the software just got better and I’m trying to keep up with that, but my way of making music hasn’t changed.

Bio: Behind DEHN is Michael Klit. He started playing some vinyl around 98-99, but he quickly began producing his own music under the name Static Corn. In the summer of 99 he began to make underground raves under the name of GerningsStedet. The parties were held under parking lots, on abandoned farms, and in old factory halls, he also played at the parties as dj where his style was minimal / pro-aggressive Psy from the Danish underground scene. He later was downbeat dj at the venue Bryggen for several years. Over the past couple of years, his interest in Dark and Minimal Techno has grown, and he decided at the end of 2017 that he wanted to give the DJ career a try, and at the same time start producing more low bpm music. It’s the experience from the downbeat and Pro-agressive Psy he uses in the Techno genre.
