The label continues to drop innovative, world-class records with Beyer’s distinctive style at the forefront. More credentials include the long-standing Junction 2 Festival in the UK, now 8 years old and developing into one of the most popular music events of the festival season. For the modern techno icon and his unparalleled musical gift, the world will keep showing up, sustaining Beyer’s well-deserved career through more electrifying global events than ever before.
