Biografía

  • First playing small parties and bars, Manuel became a regular at Tresor in 2011. In 2013 his party "Escapism" came to life, which turned into a label in 2016.
    Sometimes, one experience is all it takes to give someone's life a new direction. This certainly proved true for Manuel Münster. Giving in to Berlin's allure of countless possibilities and a generally more open-minded attitude towards alternative lifestyles, Manuel made his move to the German capital in 2008. His musical socialization was rooted in Hardcore Punk and Metal, but attending a techno party shortly after having arrived in Berlin has opened up a musical world to him that was beyond his perception up until that point. Taking advantage of Berlin's countless record stores dedicated to electronic music, he quickly assembled a respectable collection of 12"s and eventually decided to give DJing a try himself. Making his way from playing small bars and parties, he became a regular DJ at Tresor from 2011 on. In 2013 he further shapened his musical profile with putting on his own club nights called "Escapism" in various locations throughout the city. The record label of the same name emerged in 2016 with the help of a friend, giving friends and artists who have played the party a plattform to release their music. Staying true to Techno's political dimension, Manuel's DJ-sets are reflecting his perception of the world surrounding him. While mostly bleak and repetitive, groove is always the key element. It's this focus that allows him to challenge audiences without ever losing touch.
