Johannes Albert

Up until recently Johannes Albert spent his weekends travelling through the German countryside. At his side will always be a bag of records guaranteed to make the club that is his destination go off that that night. Increasingly he finds himself in the air over Europe, Asia and beyond as word of his DJ reputation spreads. This should come as no surprise given the killer combination of running two of his own labels, dropping 12s on imprints such as Needwant and Retreat, the multiple well loved online mixes to his name and a host of genre spanning alias and side projects.

Frank Music was started mainly as a platform for Johannes Albert productions and is home to much of his best work. Highlights have been his own debut album Hotel Novalis, which reached number two in the Groove Magazine charts and tracks like Giovanni Frizzante, which became a bit of an anthem in 2017. Fred P, Moomin, Smallpeople, Prins Thomas and Lauer have also contributed to the label.

Since moving to Berlin, Johannes has found kindred spirits with the crew of residents from the notorious party hotspot Renate. Now an official resident not just in Berlin but with the club’s growing list of international parties, he finds himself moving floors globally. With the anything goes, super fun approach to their parties, this is a perfect home base for him to explore his multiple influences. With this in mind you can be sure he is packing a box of fully road-tested tricks for his next club adventure.
