Answer Code Request

**Answer Code Request** is the alias of Berlin-based techno producer and DJ Patrick Gräser, a key figure in the city’s underground electronic music scene. Known for his immersive, genre-pushing sound, he’s closely tied to the iconic Ostgut Ton label (home to artists associated with Berghain/Panorama Bar), where his releases often blend hypnotic rhythms, atmospheric textures, and raw, driving energy. Since emerging in the mid-2010s, his music has become synonymous with Berlin’s gritty, forward-thinking techno ethos, earning respect for its balance of dancefloor functionality and intricate sonic detail.

Recent releases like the *Shattering EP* (2023) and *Sustaining Life* (2022) showcase his evolving style, merging industrial-strength basslines with ethereal synths and fractured vocal samples. Tracks such as “LED” and “Flex & Vibe” highlight his knack for crafting tension-heavy grooves that feel equally at home in darkened clubs or on headphones. While he keeps a relatively low profile personally, his work as Answer Code Request remains a staple for techno enthusiasts craving depth, experimentation, and that unmistakable Berlin pulse.
