Ellen Allien, a tour de force in the electronic music landscape, has etched her name into the annals of techno history as a DJ, producer, and the founder of the esteemed record label BPitch Control. Born Ellen Fraatz in Berlin, Germany, she grew up in the heart of the city that would come to shape her career in music. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Allien found herself immersed in the burgeoning techno scene, where the pulse of the reunited city fueled her creative endeavors.

Her style is a seamless fusion of deep, bleeping techno with elements of acid and electro, all while carrying the hypnotic, gritty essence of Berlin's club culture. Since launching her career in the early 1990s, Allien has remained at the forefront of techno, both as a DJ commanding dance floors around the globe and as a producer with numerous acclaimed releases. Her work is a testament to her dynamic range, from the dark, driving rhythms of "Dance And Kill" to the ethereal reflections in tracks like "Shining On You" and "Reality". Additionally, through her "Ellen Allien Presents We Are Not Alone" series, she curates and showcases a spectrum of techno talent, reinforcing her influence and dedication to the scene that reveres her as an icon.
