Ever since the early ‘90s, Ralf Kollmann has been playing the fields of electronic music. His early education took place at Frankfurt’s legendary club Omen—in particular, one memorable night in 1992 featuring Daniel Bell, Richie Hawtin, John Aquaviva and Speedy J; almost as soon as the party had ended, Kollmann was off in search of turntables, a mixer and, above all, records. As a developing DJ, Kollmann’s sound was influenced primarily by early techno protagonists like Bell, Hawtin, Robert Hood, DJ Funk and labels like Chain Reaction, Relief, Peacefrog and M-Plant.

Living in Cologne, Kollmann was a regular guest at Studio 672, where he found himself slipping through Kompakt’s forceful minimal wringer. In 2003, he finally settled down in Berlin, where he and Anja Schneider became residents at Watergate and, later, WMF Club and helped her to develope mobilee records.

He’s in demand on dance floors across Europe. When he’s not playing out, Kollmann acts as the label manager at mobilee, which staves off boredom and keeps him busy (and then some!) in between weekends. Behind the decks or behind the scenes, Kollmann is a crucial force on the Berlin club scene.
