Since 2008 he has a regular "groove noir night" at "club der visionäre", one of the best summer locations in berlin, where he and his guests are going deep into dark electronics. In the last two years he made records on catenaccio, like the well noticed "my favourite shop is me ep" on catenaccio, the "better thrill ep" on brouqade, "benjamin fehr...explains freedom ep" on lomidhigh lmtd and some more. At the moment he is working on his project "the result" that is a coproduction with falko brocksieper (sub-static, karloff, leena, tuning spork). the actual catenaccio 10, the "niagara ep" is out now. Inspired to create a laid back environment between improvisation and restriction, the two are exploring ways to join their different views on shared passion for deep, dark and organic and abstract techno. the next release of the result will be on brouqade records, a cool berlin-based label. Benjamin fehr will release soon records on labels like: klang elektronik, stock 5, nervmusic,tictactoe, lomidhigh, microlabel and brouqade.
