Keinemusik is a Berlin-based DJ collective and record label known for shaping the global sound of modern house and techno music. Founded in 2009, it includes core members Adam Port, &ME, Rampa, and visual artist Reznik, with all contributing to a signature style blending deep house, afro house, and melodic techno.
Origins of Keinemusik
The name Keinemusik translates from German as “no music,” a playful contradiction that reflects their desire to break conventions. The group launched the label to gain creative control over their sound, visuals, and artistic direction. All releases are created in-house; from music production to graphic design and event curation.
Keinemusik first gained underground recognition for their vinyl releases and unique edits, but their reputation quickly grew with international touring and festival performances.
Who Are the Members of Keinemusik?
- Adam Port: Known for eclectic sets and genre-blending productions.
- &ME: A producer with a rich, emotional touch, often working with live elements.
- Rampa: A master of percussive grooves and atmospheric tracks.
- Reznik: The collective’s art director and occasional DJ.

What Makes Keinemusik Unique?
Keinemusik’s style combines organic percussion, hypnotic rhythms, and soulful melodies. It merges the warmth of afro house with the structure of European club music. Their tracks often feature vocal loops, warm analog textures, and deep emotional builds.
Their famous back-to-back DJ sets, especially during marathon sessions at clubs like Berghain, or major festivals like Coachella, Tomorrowland, and DGTL, have become legendary. Unlike most acts, they often perform as a trio, creating seamless, story-driven mixes.
Keinemusik Albums and Releases
One of their most acclaimed works is “Send Return” (2021), a collaborative album that features artists like Sofi Tukker, Dixson, and Ali Love. The record gained both critical and commercial success, cementing their position in the upper echelon of dance music.
Notable tracks include:
- “Discoteca”
- “Confusion” (with Ali Love)
- “The Rapture Pt.III”
- “What You Expected”
They also release exclusive edits and bootlegs for their live sets, often unavailable commercially, adding to their mystique.
Influence on Global House Music
Keinemusik has had a massive impact on modern house and techno culture. Their sound inspired a wave of afro-influenced deep house producers around the world, influencing artists like Play House, a Paris-based DJ known for his melodic and rhythmic sets in a similar style.
Their aesthetic; minimal yet soulful, refined yet emotional; has helped redefine what club music can be: not just functional, but deeply artistic.
