Ennio

ENNIO is a Berlin-based musician, DJ, and producer who operates at the edges of genre and identity. Born in Germany and of Southeast Asian and Slavic descent, he channels the fluidity of growing up between cultures into a sound that resists easy narratives. Raw, rhythmic and built to move, with a signature bounce that needs no explanation. Often genre-resistant, his club music favors feeling over formula and instinct over expectation. Drawing inspiration from his background, his breakout EP »Scacotteter« (TILT) put him firmly on the map, with tracks like »Gunung Padang« sending shockwaves through dance floors worldwide, championed by some of the scene’s most influential selectors. Momentum never slowed. His follow-up single »Don’t Stop (Gimme More)« doubled down on his restless energy, pushing his sound into even wilder territories. 2024 saw him contribute »Blok M« to A7A Records’ Lunar New Year Compilation, a project celebrating artists from across the Asian diaspora. That same year, »Bloody Beetroots« (TILT) arrived — another punch to the gut, another anthem for the dance floor. 2025 continues the charge. »Chim Lạc Dan, Garuda!«, a collaboration with close friend and TILT ally HAMY landed on A7A’s Year of the Snake edition, channeling their Vietnamese and Indonesian heritage, the track doubled as a manifesto calling for greater visibility and presence of Asian voices in global club culture. With two EPs lined up before summer’s end, more singles, compilation features, and commissions for Berlin Fashion Week (Sia Arnika, Lou De Bétoly), ENNIO stays in constant motion. Beyond the studio, he’s part of TILT and the popular queer event series Kinky Sundays, while holding residencies at Berlin’s RSO, the now-defunct but legendary Watergate, as well as Hamburg’s PAL/NTSC. His DJ sets? Unpredictable, playful, and deeply instinctual. Like his identity, they resist singular narratives, drawing from a wide range of influences and ideas, yet always forming something distinctly his own. Blurring lines between genres, creating unexpected shifts in mood and intensity, renown to enter into an almost symbiotic relationship with his audience. From Herrensauna to Radion, Faust to FVTVR, Rote Sonne to Macadam, and beyond — ENNIO’s sound has left a mark on some of the world’s most forward-thinking clubs.
With each step, he continues to question what it means to belong. Culturally, musically, and emotionally. He crafts his own answers in real time, through sound, presence, and the refusal to be reduced.
