They discuss why they never chased mainstream fame, how their definition of success has changed, and why connection with the crowd matters more than numbers. Lastly, Pan-Pot explains how their HUMAN project has become a creative reset, centered on presence, connection, and making music without expectationsWho are Pan-Pot: Who is Pan-Pot: Comprising the dynamic duo Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, Pan Pot has carved out a unique niche in the electronic music landscape. In 2025, the legendary techno pair launched HUMAN, both a label and an event series, marking a new chapter in their journey. HUMAN bridges raw techno energy with something deeper, delivering a sound that is emotional, warm, and unapologetically human, with a clear focus on connection through music and on placing feeling back at the center of the dancefloor rather than chasing fleeting trends. This year shows no signs of them slowing down as they continue to expand their creative universe through HUMAN, which has already hosted standout events in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and the official Street Parade afterparty in Zurich that drew over 1.3 million attendees. Following the release of singles “OPERA (Street Parade Anthem),” “Nightcode,” “TDD,” “KALTSTROM,” and "Phantaxxxy" marks another powerful evolution in Pan Pot’s ever shifting sonic identity.⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱https://djwillclarke.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuewhttps://www.instagram.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.facebook.com/willclarkedjhttps://twitter.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.
