In the mid-’90s, Berlin became famous in techno circles as a second home for the music's Detroit originators. But by the 2000s, the city had become the music's nerve center, as DJs and producers from around the world flocked there to live and make music. This playlist, spanning two decades, focuses on the city's homegrown talent as well as the core style that’s drawn so many artists (and ears) to Berlin over the years.
