Press Info:
Matriarch of the Berlin techno scene, Ellen Allien, presents her latest album ‘New Life’ on BPitch on 9th July 2026, announcing with the first single ‘Steh Auf’ on 21st May.
Rooted in the electronic music community since its ferment as post-wall political protest, Ellen has been a continuous force of this egalitarian spirit, that runs deeply through her every action. Against hierarchy and convention, Ellen lives the arc from inside. Techno is a protest by existing. By dancing. By building a world inside the ruins of another one. Globally we have been creating the communities we want on dancefloors for decades, but in recent years have seen it consumed by capitalist interests.
The album is a powerful statement on personal autonomy, community responsibility, and the destructive forces threatening our planet’s beauty. Recorded between Berlin, Miami and Ibiza over the past winters; the album channels themes of empowerment, anarchy, and collective action; a call to dismantle failing systems while embracing regeneration, growth, and new hope through self-determination.
Through her signature forward-thinking techno, Ellen explores the ocean’s beauty and humanity’s impact on it, creating sonic landscapes that aim to unite and build community on dancefloors, delivering light through darkness. Ellen’s spoken words arrive like signals from another planet, her distinctive voice creating an otherworldly sonic experience. This is emotional rave music, weaving elements of minimal, darkwave, hypnotic euphoria, into a vibrant journey, with first single ‘Steh Auf’ as the rousing centre. Textured sonic landscapes richly cover the whole record where birds sing, waves crash, and spaceships fly through the Berlin night sky. The darkness gives space to explore the beauty of the world that exists from dusk to sunrise.
New Life takes many forms. Chosen families, unconventional care giving, womanhood beyond traditional scripts, embracing queerness, harnessing power to unite rather than divide. As conventions across the globe fail or are destroyed, ecological disasters and wars created for profit while leaders ignore their people, we believe that another world is not only possible but urgently necessary.
