Paul Kalkbrenner

Paul Kalkbrenner was born on June 11, 1977 in Leipzig, Germany, and operates from Berlin as a solo techno artist. The brother of Fritz Kalkbrenner has released music under aliases including Paul dB+, Grenade, and Kalkito since beginning his career. He runs his own imprint Paul Kalkbrenner Musik alongside releases on established labels including b1, Columbia/B1 Recordings, and Cercle Records.

Kalkbrenner produces peak time driving techno and tech house, with occasional forays into electronica and full-length album projects. His sound spans minimal techno foundations through to house-influenced productions, maintaining the driving energy characteristic of Berlin's techno scene. Since 2009, he has maintained consistent output across his preferred labels, with releases ranging from dancefloor-focused tracks to more experimental electronica work that showcases his broader production range beyond straight techno programming.
