I’m Dennis from N8KLANG.

Marcel and I met last year when I was handling the technical setup on several of his trucks at Rave The Planet— including Ostfunk/Goanautika and the BamMobil. We were also on the road together for CSD in Berlin and Hamburg, and right away it just clicked. With his label Akustikkuss, Marcel truly represents the scene and brings a lot of experience to the table.

On New Year’s Eve, Marcel reached out to me and said he really connected with what I’m building with N8KLANG—and that he’d offer me his truck for Rave The Planet. I took about two weeks to think it through because I knew what was at stake. In the end, I went with the feeling: no risk, no fun.

That’s how N8KLANG meets Akustikkuss came to life.

The whole crew and all the DJs are fully in, and I’m truly grateful to have Coco supporting me along the way.

What drives us is respect, diversity, and unity—and that’s exactly what we want to share.
