Forged out of the fires of Berlin's Herrensauna party series, CEM is a fierce talent unafraid of turning things moody. Taking a preference for UK-tweaked sounds, sullen breakbeat and pounding, harder rhythmics from the across the contemporary techno spectrum, he’s a rare species of DJ that seeds intensity at every twist. And with a background in queer club culture going back a decade to his hometown of Vienna – side-by-side with a punk upbringing – CEM is well versed in concocting unrelenting dance floor commotion.
