We are proud to present Roland Casper, another Legend of the German Techno Scene.

For decades, Roland Casper has been a cornerstone of the electronic music scene and is considered one of the pioneers of German techno. His career began in the 1980s in Cologne’s underground scene, where his extraordinary DJ sets quickly earned him a cult following. His time at the legendary Warehouse Cologne and his association with the infamous Psycho Thrill party series cemented his reputation as a visionary in the scene.

As a producer, Roland Casper has released seminal works on renowned labels such as Structure, Labworks, and Warehouse Records, as well as through his own imprint, Essence Records. Through these platforms, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of techno, delivering tracks that embody raw energy and fearless experimentation. Beyond his musical achievements, Roland Casper is also known as a mentor and collaborator—always staying true to his values of innovation, integrity, and a deep passion for sound.

And now, with his new EP “EPMVS03”, Roland Casper reactivates the legendary V-Series on EPM Music, a project that caused a stir in the mid-90s on his Essence Imprint. The EP features six newly remastered tracks, reviving the raw, unpolished energy of that era—a must-listen for fans of uncompromising techno. Carrying a deeply emotional significance, it's dedicated to the late Jochen Peuyn, also known as Sorgenkint, a close companion and influential figure in the Cologne scene. Sorgenkint, who tragically passed away in a recent car accident this summer, was a key contributor to the Acid Wars sound and an unforgettable part of the community. With this EP, Casper pays a fitting musical tribute to his legacy. “EPMVS03” is a powerful reminder of why Roland Casper is a name inextricably linked to the history and future of techno—raw, emotional, and innovative. Roland, the decks are yours…
