As part of his masterclass Hannes will play a 60 minute LiveSet.

Hannes Bieger has built an untouchable reputation as a mixing engineer, with an exhaustive client list that includes some of the biggest names in contemporary house and techno. In 2017, after 11 years in the world of mixing and production, Hannes decided to shine a spotlight on his creative talents as an artist again, focusing his energy on producing his own music and building an unforgettable live show.
Since then he has made quite an impact with releases on highly influential labels such as Poker Flat and Flying Circus. His cut, ‘Stars’, which dropped on Bedrock, hit the No.1 spot in Beatport’s Progressive House chart.
Through his studio work, Hannes has accumulated a huge store of knowledge and skills resulting in a deeply intuitive, ‘less is more’ approach, his dramatic compositions often showcasing an exercise in restraint and release that he is fast becoming celebrated for.

The concert is public and free of charge
