DJ Steuerhinterziehung

DJ Steuerhinterziehung is an enigmatic figure in the electronic music scene known for blending satirical social commentary with pulsating, dance floor-driven beats. Emerging from the underground nightlife of Berlin in the mid-2010s, DJ Steuerhinterziehung quickly garnered attention for their irreverent persona and tongue-in-cheek moniker, which translates as "DJ Tax Evasion" in German. Drawing inspiration from techno, house, electroclash, and the anarchic spirit of punk, their sets incorporate bold samples from political speeches, gritty industrial sounds, and playful nods to Germany’s bureaucratic culture.

Notoriously elusive, the artist is as renowned for their masked performances as for their surprise pop-up events at squats, abandoned buildings, and creative spaces. Their debut EP, Schwarzarbeit, released in 2020, received critical acclaim for merging biting humor with a relentless drive, establishing DJ Steuerhinterziehung as both an innovator and provocateur. In addition to live performances across Europe, they have remixed tracks for rising and established acts alike and are known for their active involvement in social justice causes, infusing their music with sharp wit and rebellious energy.
