Claudio “Hesed” is a long-standing figure of the European free tekno underground. Active since the late ’90s, when he moved from band projects into full-time electronic production, his core trajectory took shape after his move to Germany in 2001. Based in Dresden for over two decades, he founded Analog Tecnè Model (2004) as a platform for his own productions and collaborations and launched Discrete Audio Solutions, focused on mastering, sound design, restoration and technical support for underground labels and sound systems. In parallel, he became closely involved with Daimon Sound System, Monotonsystem and Desystematik Sound Lab, placing his work firmly inside the free party network rather than the commercial circuit.
Hardware-centered from the start, Hesed built his studio around Atari, Commodore, modular systems, drum machines and custom-modified devices, pushing sequencing, synthesis and sound pressure into a distinct signature. His productions and remixes appear on labels such as Hardfloor Records, Analog Tecnè Model, Protoprod, AstralTek, Dramfank, Rekhold, Reaktif, Time Control Records, Pureanalog, FTSK, HZD Records, Mizadisk, MKN, Kernel Panik, L’Hallucidité, Mechanika Records, Blackqirex and further underground imprints, while releases on Analog Tecne Model and Trinacria Records stand as key reference points of his catalogue.
As an integral part of the Free Tekno movement, Hesed has played extensively at free parties and teknivals across Europe with and alongside systems and crews like Kamikaze, Spiral Tribe, Kernel Panik, Circus Alien, Tekno Mobil Squad, Desertstorm, Monotonsystem, Daimon Sound System, Desystematik, Lunatic Sound Dresden, KrachKultur, Acid Anonymous, FDM freax, Acid Techno Family, Heretik, Metek, Unknown Frequencies, WCA, Io.Sys, Pirate Network, Goapunxx, Zapotek, Audiotek and many more—mapping his work across the real infrastructure of the European rave circuit.
Between 2005–2008 he expanded into professional sound design and radio, and through Discrete Audio Solutions has delivered mastering and audio work for labels including Analog Tecne Model, Trinacria Records, Repartee Recordz, L’Hallucidité, Heavy Mental, Fat Fury, Thamiel Records, Notsell Recordz, Pulp Friction, Subcom Records, Mizadisk, Ausgang Records, Pure Analog Records, Brainbomb, Melting Bass Records, Tomeen, Mohawk Vinyl, Cerebral Noise, Daimon Sound System, On The Run Records and others—establishing the studio as a trusted technical reference in the underground.
From 2009 onward he pushed further into analog modifications, circuit bending and DIY electronics with the Schrägerunde project, developing hardware integrated directly into his sets and sharing his methods through workshops and educational sessions in institutions and art academies. Between 2013–2017 he extended his activities to clubs and festivals around Europe via booking agencies such as Electrobooking and Cult Collective (ex Obs.Cur), carrying the same party-forged sound into curated contexts without losing its edge.
For Killtekno Athens, Hesed is invited precisely in this capacity: a producer, label runner, mastering engineer and hardware builder with a dense release history, deep system connections and a proven role in shaping the sonic language of the underground.

Support our community
Support our community
We do it ourselves. From sound systems to gatherings, everything is organized horizontally, without bosses, sponsors or gatekeepers. No institution, brand or authority dictates how we exist together. Our spaces, our time, our sound: planned through mutual trust, shared responsibility and a clear anti-authoritarian, anti-commercial stance.
We create for expression, connection and resistance, not for profit. No VIP culture, no headliners mythology. We reject the cult of the performer and the passive crowd: everyone present is part of the process. The line between DJ, crew and dancers stays blurred; what happens here is built collectively, not consumed as a product. Support stays inside the community through open contributions and solidarity, so access doesn’t become a luxury.
We are a decentralized network of crews, friends and individuals who reclaim ignored, fenced-off or over-regulated spaces and turn them into autonomous zones for sound and movement. Urban, rural or temporary, these places don’t belong to the highest bidder; they become common ground, defended and cared for together.
We protect our atmosphere. No photos, no videos, no content-hunting. Respect the space, the neighbors, the people working behind the scenes. Help when needed, clean up after yourself, look out for each other. This culture survives because we keep it quiet, solid and in our own hands.
To keep this possible, we hold a strict line: no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, harassment or aggressive behavior. Consent is the baseline – physical, emotional and social boundaries must be respected. If you experience or witness something harmful, talk to an organizer immediately.
