Schacke

Sonic Profile

Bio

The enigmatic Schacke defies categorization. Half Danish, half South Korean, they have been crafting music since their early teens, traversing genres and instruments with fearless curiosity. Starting with drums and emerging from roots in Metal, Noise, and Industrial, Schacke’s journey has been one of constant evolution, building a sonic universe that feels both deeply personal and boundlessly exploratory. After moving to Copenhagen in 2013, Schacke quickly became a central figure in the city’s underground music scene. They co-ran the Mayhem venue, a hub for experimental sounds and radical ideas, while also founding a DIY label for noise and industrial music. In 2015, Schacke joined the founding ranks of the Fast Forward collective, born out of a desire to create space for a new wave of young artists who were often overlooked by the city’s established techno scene. What began as a series of self-organized parties quickly grew into a movement that redefined Copenhagen nightlife, championing inclusivity, high-energy music, and a DIY ethos. The collective’s fresh approach and innovative sound became the foundation of what is now known as the “Copenhagen Techno Sound”, a bold and uncompromising take on electronic music that challenged the conventions of its time. Schacke’s discography spans a range of acclaimed releases on influential labels such as Kulør, ONES and ZEROS, Mama Told Ya, KAOS, Instruments of Discipline, and Intrepid Skin. In 2022, Schacke launched Sacred Interface, a label dedicated to pushing the boundaries of techno and trance while supporting their local friends and peers. Beyond the studio, they are a resident DJ, event organizer, podcast runner for the iconic queer sex parties of Bedside Productions, a space where their ethos of inclusivity and boundary-pushing expression thrives. In 2024, they also became resident DJ for the Korgy Party in Helsinki. Schacke’s artistic philosophy is rooted in contrast and duality. Their music, at once hard-hitting and tender, accessible and avant-garde, reflects an intricate balance of light and shadow, embracing both the delicate and the dark. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of genres, they use techno as a framework to create genre-defying fusions, weaving together hypnotic rhythms, euphoric melodies, and evocative textures. This ever-evolving soundscape ensures that Schacke’s work remains distinctly recognizable yet tantalizingly unpredictable. On the dancefloor, Schacke channels the raver they once were: taking mental notes at every party, translating those fleeting moments of euphoria and connection into their studio work. This intimate relationship with nightlife fuels their creativity, ensuring their music resonates deeply with listeners. A true artist in every sense, Schacke invites you where mystery challenges expectations, fluidity disrupts norms, and self-expression reigns without boundaries.
