Sebastian Wilck

Sebastian Wilck made his first contacts within the small drum and bass scene in his hometown of Potsdam, and his first sporadic gigs were followed by his first residency at the monthly “Bassflip” sessions at the Waschhaus in Potsdam. Sebastian was busily making a name for himself under the moniker DJ Scamp.

There was soon a new weekly party that couldn’t be missed: The legendary Hard:Edged parties at the just as legendary WMF club in Berlin.

The organizers of the Hard:Edged parties soon opened Watergate, their own club on the banks of the River Spree in Berlin. The regular guest soon became a Hard:Edged resident, and after completing an internship at Watergate, Sebastian Wilck was offered a full-time job shortly afterwards.

While Watergate was establishing itself as one of the leading (techno and house) clubs in Berlin, drum and bass, which had not advanced creatively, lost both its drive and its appeal. The Hard:Edged parties were gradually scaled back. Initially twice a month, then monthly, and a short time later the parties were discontinued altogether. Techno began to once again take over Sebastian’s focus.

In 2006, Sebastian’s first EP Für den Garten, which was produced together with Fabian Kock, was released by Just Recordings under the project name Kock & Wilck. The release stays true to Sebastian’s passion for modern, minimal techno tracks. Although the duo decided to part ways a short time later, Sebastian continued to remain focused on his work in and around Watergate. In addition to his job as Watergate’s tour booker, Sebastian Wilck is also still one of the club’s residents.
