XDB

**XDB** is a Berlin-based techno producer and DJ known for crafting raw, hypnotic grooves that thrive in the underground circuit. Operating in the shadows of the techno world since the early 2010s, they’ve become a staple of the gritty, minimal sound associated with Berlin’s iconic Tresor ecosystem, particularly through releases on its sub-label Lockertmatik (like *Lockertmatik 014*). Tracks like *Afrikk* and *Bakfom* showcase their knack for stripped-down rhythms, industrial textures, and subtle melodic hooks that feel both vintage and forward-thinking. While XDB keeps a low profile personality-wise, their steady stream of EPs—including recent drops like *Recago EP* and *Lost Tape - EP*—solidifies their rep as a no-nonsense architect of dancefloor tension.
