Real name: Charlotte Roeder

It was whilst studying Philosophy at Cambridge University that Charly Schaller
had her first encounters with techno music, taking weekend breaks to visit the
hallowed turf of Berlin’s techno institutions and realising quickly that the answers
to those existential questions can equally be found on the dance floor as
they can in the lecture theatre.

It was the beginning of a love affair with techno and its harder-edged subgenres.
Fast forward a few years, and Charly was playing regularly at the likes of About
Blank, Griessmühle and Arena Club. 2021 saw her first release on He.She.They
with Rekids’ label boss Radio Slave stepping in for remix duties, as well as the
launch of her own event series at Zurich’s club Exil with guests including VTSS,
Somewhen, DJ Spit, Rikhter and more.

With further releases on Pan-Pot’s Second State imprint and inclusions on VA’s
for LAP and DURCH labels, Charly’s music chews up and spits out the concrete
foundations of Berlin’s underground, combining flavours of industrial, hardcore
and trance with hints of hip-hop and latin to create a sound that captures the
genre-less zeitgeist of the next generation of electronic creators
