Paul Kalkbrenner makes his well-anticipated return to London, set to offer fans a live experience of his new album, ‘The Essence.’

On Saturday, 13th December, Drumsheds will host the German maestro, as well as names such as Stephan Bodzin, ZHU, and Parra For Cuva, promising a memorable day filled with world-class techno music.

Paul Kalkbrenner’s ‘Essence’

Expected in October 2025, ‘The Essence’ marks Kalkbrenner’s 10th studio album. Two songs from the LP already released, one being his new collaboration with Belgian icon, Stromae.

Following Kalkbrenner’s 2010 remix of ‘Te Quiero,’ the two artists finally joined forces to produce an official anthem, requested by fans for a long time.

‘NINETY – TWO’ is the opening track of ‘The Essence,’ as well as the first song published from the LP. According to the Berlin producer, the record represents an idea of what the rave scene would’ve sounded like if it stopped evolving past 1992.

‘The Essence’ features 12 tracks, each having a special place in Paul Kalkbrenner’s heart.

Opening regarding what makes this production special, the artist states: “This is an album I can truly stand behind. I consider it my best. Sure, there may be more well-known hits on my other albums, but there were always two or three filler tracks. This one doesn’t have a single filler. Not even a filler moment!”

‘The Essence’ Live in London

Music is not the only thing that makes a Paul Kalkbrenner show unforgettable. The way he interprets his setlist is another important aspect.

Software synthesizers, drum machines, a studio mixer and other instruments are part of the DJ’s setup, allowing him the freedom to rework every record on the spot. This makes every set unique, providing fans with an unforgettable musical journey.

Experience Paul Kalkbrenner’s live performance of his latest album in London, this December. Tickets start at £32.50 and are available following this link.
