When Answer Code Request’s first EP hit the shelves of Berlin’s seminal record store Hard Wax, speculation across the web took up instantly. Was this another incarnation of affiliated techno stalwarts, like Marcel Dettmann or Shed? As the identity of the enigmatic producer behind Answer Code Request was revealed to be Patrick Gräser, at least some of the buzz was on the right path. Before Answer Code Request became his project to be, he spent his youth in the same small hometown near Berlin as Marcel Dettmann and Marcel Fengler, sharing their experiences of hitting the big city as a teenager, in search of the records and clubs that formed the tradition in the 90’s, then taking up DJing and producing shortly after. From his first public appearance to internationally acclaimed artist, performer and Berghain resident DJ, it only took Answer Code Request a year. Enough said.
