We’re talking about a new label, but not a new identi- ty. This new venture, which will be a label, event series, and a new brand, will be more closely linked to the CLTX project and brand identity. It’s all going to come toge- ther and make sense as a cohesive vision.
He revealed.
As for his musical direction, CLTX remains committed to evolution rather than reinvention. The label, part of the “Pink is Punk” universe, will integrate tattoo and punk culture while emphasizing quality and diversity in its music.
“My aim is always to improve the quality of my music and to be in tune with myself and my values. A new direction doesn’t mean a new CLTX, but a different ver- sion that retains the same artistic signature. I’d like the CLTX signature to be recognized even through a less aggressive, faster track. I also want to talk about my emotions a little more—my joy or sadness. This will be the subject of the next video clip. It’s important for me to also express my artistic vision through imperfect and maybe almost unsettling art. I’m not looking to in- novate within the limits of techno, but rather explore the true power of techno over people—what it provokes and how people react to different styles. I’m very cu- rious while remaining close and faithful to my identity. CLTX will always be CLTX”.
He aims to retain his artistic signature while exploring less aggressive, more emotional tracks.
UPCOMING EPS AND COLLABORATIONS
Collaboration has become a cornerstone of CLTX’s creative process, allowing him to infuse fresh perspec- tives into his work.
“First of all, I’m exploring collaboration, which I’ve never really been open to before,” he said.
Among these projects is a track featuring Kenyan vo- cals and another with a Spanish singer, blending sen- suality with danceable energy. Inspired by trap and 90s trance, CLTX is incorporating new sounds and working with producers who bring their unique knowledge to the table.
“Mixing two generations is also a good way to further our knowledge,” he noted, highlighting the importance of blending cultural and generational influences.
These collaborations reflect his commitment to pus- hing creative boundaries and preventing stagnation within the techno scene.
“I was very attentive to everyone’s professional pro- jects and wanted to work with people whose music I liked, regardless of their status in the scene. My aim is also to be original, and this played a big part in my choices, such as intensifying the artistic side with a fe- male singer, for example. This EP will be emotional and
diverse. I’m currently working on the next one, which will be particularly punk with the most punk collaboration ever.”
FASHION AND BRAND IDENTITY
CLTX’s smiling devil logo is more than a symbol—it’s an emblem of rebellion and individuality.
“I got this tattoo two years ago on my left hand becau- se I like disturbing, uncommon art that is aesthetically destroyed,” he explained.
“It also has a strong significance on how I feel behind the decks—smiley but devilish. The world of fashion is used today as a great means of rebellion through cam- paigns and collections. It’s one of several universes in which we can convey a message”.
This iconography has naturally evolved into a cor- nerstone of his brand. “Pink is a symbol of rebellion. It breaks all the traditional codes and color rules, creating a beautiful contrast with the punk movement. I hope to give a feeling of freedom and encourage everyone to be the person they want to be, not followers of social pressure. Over time, it became a reflection of me—this happy devil behind the decks. It felt natural for it to be- come my logo, representing the energy and mischief I bring to every performance”.
His latest fashion collection draws inspiration from tattoo and graffiti culture, blending raw, handwritten designs with edgy visuals.
CLTX also draws from his admiration for designers like Alexander McQueen, whose emotionally charged and rule-defying creativity inspires him.
“I studied courses such as fashion history and fashion marketing. I think music and fashion have always been very connected in this world, and the two can intensify each other. I love mixing different worlds and cultures, like techno and rock, or pink and punk. I’d like to push back certain boundaries by simply not playing by any rules and mixing the values of each universe. At school, all my presentations were on Alexander McQueen, a designer I particularly admire. I was a big fan of his vi- sion, and his very dark creativity guided by emotions”. CLTX shared.
“Music played a very important role in his shows in the 2000s, bringing incredible intensity and atmosphere. I’m still really inspired by this today!”
EVENT SERIES AND COMMUNITY BUILDING
CLTX’s upcoming event series promises to be a trans- formative addition to Berlin’s nightlife.
“The overall vibe will focus on a strong pink branding with a punk-inspired edge,” he explained.
