Freund der Familie

Freund der Familie is a German duo comprised of Klaus Rakete and Mirko Hunger, who have operated under this moniker since the early 2000s. The pair founded their own label, Freund Der Familie, in 2007, which serves as the primary outlet for their productions. Their first documented release appeared in December 2011, with their output spanning over a decade through 2025.

The duo crafts deep house and techno variations that range from raw and hypnotic to minimal deep tech territories. Their releases appear on their self-titled imprint Freund Der Familie as well as Telrae, with productions that emphasize dub-influenced elements and melancholic atmospheres. Their sound draws from dub techno foundations while incorporating peak-time driving elements and minimal deep tech characteristics, creating floor-focused material that balances deepness with dance functionality across their 11-release catalog.
