Ancient Methods is a project synonymous with the darker, more cerebral end of the techno spectrum. Initially emerging as a duo in 2007, the Berlin-based act became the solo endeavor of Michael Wollenhaupt around 2013, after the departure of former member Conrad Protzmann. Wollenhaupt, under the Ancient Methods moniker, has forged a unique path through the electronic landscape, known for a sound that melds the cold rigidity of industrial music with the sensuous drive of techno.

The enigmatic nature of Ancient Methods is embodied in their discography, which often draws on historical, mythological, and militaristic themes. Releases like "The Third Siren," "The Jericho Remixes," and "The Jericho Records" exemplify their penchant for combining hard-hitting percussion with an atmosphere steeped in mystique. Known for his high-energy sets and the ability to imbue a spiritual experience through his sound, Wollenhaupt has become a revered figure in the underworld of techno. Ancient Methods' music is not merely to be heard, it's to be experienced, often leaving its audience in a trance-like state, reveling in the pulsating beats that have become the signature of this unyielding electronic project.
