Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, the dynamic duo behind Pan-Pot, met at Berlin’s SAE Institute and bonded over their shared passion for techno. Their music blends electronic experimentation with minimal stylings and the murky, ominous sounds that define their name.
After years on the biggest stages in electronic music, Pan-Pot released their project FORTE in 2023. The album, marking their 20th anniversary, featured ten tracks, each telling a unique story and reflecting their evolving sound and global experiences. FORTE embodies strength and reflects on their journey, reinvention, and inspirations in a fast-changing world.
In 2024, the FORTE album was reimagined with the release of FORTE Remixes by notable artists. Giorgia Angiuli reworked "Utopia" with deep, sonic electricity, while DAST delivered a stirring reinterpretation of "Evolution." LUMI, a rising name in the scene, transformed "Bond" into a blistering track with spiraling melodies and emotive strings.
In 2024, Pan-Pot celebrated 30 years of Time Warp with an ARTE livestream performance that showcased their timeless style, characterized by rock-infused sequences, euphoric synths, and cascading white noise. This performance at the legendary Maimarkthalle demonstrated their enduring impact on the techno scene.
With no signs of slowing down, Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix continue to push boundaries, solidifying Pan-Pot's place as world-class artists, performers, and tastemakers in the electronic music scene.
