T.Raumschmiere

T.Raumschmiere sounds like a riot happening inside a drum machine. It is the sound of Berlin's underground when the lights go out and the volume goes up, characterized by a relentless, overdriven low end and a rhythmic swing that feels more like a physical shove than a dance beat. The music is thick with distortion, yet it maintains a sharp, mechanical precision that keeps the chaos focused.

What truly sets Marco Haas apart is his 'Gnarz' aesthetic, a specific type of sonic filth that bridges the gap between the nihilism of 80s industrial and the hedonism of 2000s electro. He famously revitalized the 'schaffel' beat, a triplet-based shuffle that gives his tracks a swaggering, monster-truck momentum. It is electronic music played with the soul of a drummer who would rather be smashing his kit than turning a knob.

Start with the album 'Radio Blackout' or the high-octane 'Blitzkrieg Pop' to experience his peak electro-punk era. If you want to hear his more contemplative, atmospheric side, 'Heimat' offers a surprising shift into textured ambient techno that still retains his signature grit.
