About Schacke

Genre
Techno
Martin Schacke is one of the primary figures of the Danish "fast techno" scene centered around Copenhagen's Fast Forward Collective. His raw, ecstatic tracks typically exceed 140 beats per minute and recall styles such as Hi-NRG, schranz, and hard trance. Releasing EPs as Schacke since 2016, he broke through with the acclaimed single "Kisloty People" in 2019.
Even though Schacke is best known for making techno, he's been playing in punk bands since he was a teenager, and has released dozens of black metal, noise, and industrial releases as part of numerous different projects, and has run the cassette label Moral Defeat since 2014. Patterns of Susceptibility, his first techno EP credited simply as Schacke, was the debut release on Ectotherm in 2016. This was followed by Make Them Remember in 2017. Copenhagen's Fast Forward parties began receiving international press in 2018, and the Kulør 001 compilation, including two tracks by Schacke, helped introduce the fast techno scene to the world. Schacke's Met Her at the Herrensauna EP was released by Interstate Records at the end of the year, and Welcome to the Pleasure Dome came out on Instruments of Discipline in 2019. Shortly after, Kisloty Forever was released by the label named after St. Petersburg club Kisloty, which had shut down that year. Built around samples of Russian pop acts from the '90s and early 2000s, the EP included the anthemic "Kisloty People," which became a major club hit and was named the best track of the year by Resident Advisor. Schacke continued releasing well-received singles and EPs in 2020, including There's Something Inside Me (on Intrepid Skin). ~ Paul Simpson
